The Dilly
4.3/543 Reviews

The Dilly

Mayfair London|0.14km from The Criterion Theatre
The Dilly was probably amazing in the 1980's and 1990's but not much has been updated since then! We stayed in a Dilly Classic room which was perfectly fine, a good size, clean with strong Wifi. The shower was powerful and there was plenty of hot water. I know some people on this site weren't impressed by the breakfast but I thought it was great. Obviously, the location is fabulous. However, I didn't feel the room was up to five-star standard. The coffee was instant and the milk small UHT cartons. There was no fridge or mini-bar (though we were in the 'cheapest' room so may be different elsewhere). The toiletries were cheap and basic (so bring your own), there was no plug by the bed to charge devices overnight and no Blu-tooth speaker which seems to be a given now in higher-end hotels. The style of the room itself was quite dated including the landline next to the toilet which I'm sure was incredibly cool in 1986 :) Overall, if this was a three-or-four-star hotel I'd give it full marks, but as it's a five-star, (and more importantly charging five-star prices), it's lacking in some areas. I believe the hotel is currently 'between owners' which makes sense, as I guess the current owners don't want to invest and are ticking along until the new ones take over. It's not dreadful by any means, but they charge a lot for what you get.
Hotel Cafe Royal

Hotel Cafe Royal

London|0.15km from The Criterion Theatre
Very satisfied hotel, location is also very good, it is convenient to go shopping. Breakfast at the hotel is a la carte and very hearty. We stayed for seven days and tried many different breakfasts, all of which were delicious. The macarons in the picture were presented by the hotel one day and were pleasantly surprised. And the cheesecake downstairs is delicious and has a wonderful taste. Friends who like sweets can try it. Next time I come to London I will still choose this hotel.

W London

London|0.23km from The Criterion Theatre
What an amazing hotel and and even better experience! Check in was super smooth and very friendly reception team. Our room was just amazing, the bed was ultra comfortable with the usual high quality linens which made for a perfect night’s sleep. Lots to do in the hotel even if it is just sitting in the lounge seats watching the world go by in the bustling Leicester Square. Cocktail choices were very unique and perfectly blended, food was just as good with some amazing dishes. There was a Souk inspired evening when we were there which we loved as the music was great to listen to whilst having a few drinks. I loved the breakfast being à la carte as opposed to a buffet as the service is much more personable. Can’t wait to come back!
Sofitel London St James Hotel
4.6/583 Reviews

Sofitel London St James Hotel

London|0.27km from The Criterion Theatre
Sofitel London St James is in a fantastic location in the heart of London! A hop, skip and a jump to Piccadilly Underground and a short walking distance to Pall Mall, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and Big Ben! The staff are all very professional and courteous and always greeted me with a smile each day. The onsite bar and restaurant were fantastic and the in-room dining menu offered many delicious options! It was my 'home away from home' for a 12-night business stay and I enjoyed every minute of it! If my travel budget allows, I will return! Thank you!
Haymarket Hotel, Firmdale Hotels
4.7/569 Reviews

Haymarket Hotel, Firmdale Hotels

London|0.27km from The Criterion Theatre
The Haymarket is an incredibly special place. I had such a wonderful time with my 6 year old daughter for one night. She asked me “why is everyone being so nice to me?” As she was treated so well. Everyone was so friendly and there were lots of nice touches e.g they left a present of the book Matilda as we told them that we were going to see the show. They were also very understanding when we had a spilt drink in the room - which was big, comfortable and spotless. The only thing that confused me was that there were no tea making facilities in the room, but of course I found out that you just call and they will bring you a complimentary one. The location is fantastic- we popped into the National Art Gallery and walked to the show. We enjoyed the pre-theatre menu which was very reasonable and had a great children’s menu. On our second day we enjoyed the immense breakfast - delicious buffet table and a la carte choices. We then made the most of the swimming pool and inflatables before walking to the London Eye. Such a fun weekend! Thank you.

The Ritz London
4.5/564 Reviews

The Ritz London

London|0.59km from The Criterion Theatre
Truly an experience. My wife and I brought my mom to London for her 80th birthday, as afternoon tea at The Ritz was still on her bucket list. She had no idea I booked our stay there as well, and the Rolls Royce pickup from the airport. The hotel itself is what you expect, the Luis XVI style common areas and rooms are beautiful, but what really makes the place memorable, are the people. From our first contact with Johan, and our check in with Giacomo, Gavin, Roberto everyone was fantastic throughout our stay. The amount of time that the folks at reception are willing to spend just chatting and sharing stories with you is something you just don't find elsewhere. Many thoughtful interactions with my mom as the whole place seemed to know her big birthday was coming up. It was the experience of a lifetime. Thank you everyone at the Ritz for making it happen.
The Grand at Trafalgar Square
4.1/5105 Reviews

The Grand at Trafalgar Square

London|0.65km from The Criterion Theatre
Good location, right next to Trafalgar Square, next to Tesco express and Macdonald. The hotel room is also large. Friendly service, you can order Chinese food with just eat. The room has a microwave. Hygiene is average, seems gray, and the bathroom has a slight odor. There is no own parking lot. There is a cooperative parking lot on the other side of the square. You can park temporarily at the door and drop your luggage before going to the parking lot. Parking is 44 pounds a day and about 37 pounds with a hotel coupon. There are actually two hotels here, one is grand and the other is cq. I booked grand but lived in Cq. I do n’t know how to arrange it. When the hotel is not busy, it is sold at 7-800, and the price is good. After all, it is close to the Thames and other attractions.

Club Quarters Hotel St Paul's, London

London|2.34km from The Criterion Theatre
W/End away in London. We were looking for a hotel close to the river Thames & St. Catherine’s Docks inc. Tower Bridge & St. Paul’s Cathedral. Eventually we found the Clubquaters Hotel in St. Paul’s. which was was spot on for location. The hotel was superb, great facilities, inc. a gym. the room was lovely, Reception staff were very helpful. Just off the Reception is a direct link door to the superb Cotes Restaurant, so we could start our day off with a great Full English Breakfast. Yum…Yum it was spot on! The location of the hotel is superb….St. Paul’s Cathedral right next door…a Bell Ring away….the River Thames including the famous Millennium Bridge, a short walk away. Close to St. Paul’s Underground along with city bus stops and numerous extremely convenient shops., couldn’t fault it. Spot on!

The Londoner
4.4/5138 Reviews

The Londoner

London|0.28km from The Criterion Theatre
This hotel was overall a good experience. Considering the price tag some things were not as good as expected though: - The location. Although it is very central located Leicester Square does have a share of homeless people walking around and heavy ambiance in the late night. Nevertheless considering connections is as perfect as it can be in central London. - The rooms are a little small but nicely appointed. - The bathroom has a weird design with a small bathtub. Really liked the toto toilet. - Too much light in the room in the night. The curtains don't close completely and are a lot of mirrors reflecting the light troughout the room. - The hotel is big with several common areas and at reception there is no clear explanation... for instance I didn't understand if the courtyard was open or not. Nevertheless the gym, pool and spa were very straightforward and well appointed. - I think it is not acceptable the in room open ear cleaners (cotonete) for hygienic reasons. - Lights over the bed too strong. - Room cleaning could be better. The highlights of the stay: - The central location besides the inherent problems. - Lively but yet organized and not loud entrance lobby and bar. - The complimentary soft drinks and snacks at the secondary lobby. - Miller Harris bath products overall very good except the body lotion which the smell was harsh and totally off. - Gym and pool. - Overall very quiet room and halls. So would I return there? Honestly only if I really need to stay at Leicester Square. For me it was good but not amazing stay, with an overall feeling of pretensious mood and too expensive for what it was. If you want a really luxurious expericence I would recommend to search elsewhere but at a discount this would be a nice stay. For the amount of hotels in central London this one just didn't excited me enough.. I would prefer to return to Pan Pacific for instance.
Thistle London Trafalgar Square

Thistle London Trafalgar Square

London|0.29km from The Criterion Theatre
Very central for theatres and only a 30 min walk from Victoria Station. Easy check in and even got an upgrade and a bottle of prosecco as celebrating. The only negative was the coffee. Only a nespresso machine in the room so couldn't have a cup of tea or a coffee with milk or sugar The coffee machine at breakfast kept going wrong so I suggest taking your own (fridge in room for your milk) Apart from that a great hotel with friendly staff on reception Would definitely recommend
