Hotel was lovely, staff were very attentive. Especially as we were late to a show they sorted bag drops and made check in fast and efficient. Room was stunning! The breakfast was amazing and the venue was brilliant. We will stay again!

I stayed at The Dilly for one night on 18/12/25 with my Daughter to celebrate her 21st birthday. I sent many emails to Rebecca to tell her we were celebrating. She upgraded our room for free and decorated the room as a surprise. There was also a bottle of fizz and sweet treats in the room when we arrived back in the evening. The hotel itself and our room were really clean. Beautiful white company ...

Very disappointed with the overall appearance and cleanliness. We have stayed in far nicer hotels for the same or less expensive price.

Would recommend other hotels. Try the Amano Covent Garden, much bett...
