It will be hard to find a better location in central London: The hotel is close to trains, restaurants, sights and shopping - everything is literally just around the corner. It is my experience that UK hotels are 1 star worse than what they advertise, and this is also the case with The Dilly, which in all other countries would "only" be a 4-star hotel. It has everything you expect from an older hotel - but NOT from a 5-star hotel: Walls and doors are paper thin, so you are bothered by noise from the hallway, noise from flushing toilets, etc. Our room was small but with great beds, the toilet is diminutive and stupidly arranged, you literally sit with the toilet roll on your thigh, and though trying we never succeeded in regulating the heat (the room was too hot). Breakfast is good with big variation e.g. you have the possibility of ordering freshly made omelet, making pancakes, etc., but it is a bit special, e.g. the cheese is not sliced, so you have to slice the cubes yourself, if you want cheese on your bread, why? The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and professional.
