Very convenient location

Very convenient location 5 minutes walk from Paddington Station; No shops in the immediate vicinity, hence quiet at night. Walk down to Essex Gardens a few minutes away, and there are plenty of shops, restaurants.

Great staff. Great location. Small room’s as you would expect.

4/10 Fair

Dirty room. Loud room. Big gap under door. Hair in bathroom. Not worth £200 a night lol. You can get better in London for less

Lovely stay at The Athena

We had a two night stay at the Athena and found it very clean and well-presented. In spite of it being a lower ground floor room, it was pleasant and well lit. The staff were friendly and helpful (it was during the Tube strike!) but we managed to find our way around. The Continental breakfast was substantial and very good value and the hotel was a short walk from Paddington station. Would recommend.
Sandra, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very well located, people at the front desk were pretty neutral and not really eager to go the extra mile to help, but there were polite so that’s fine, however I stayed 5 days and the elevator was out for 4 of those, which is unacceptable, especially when the room is charged at least 200£ a night, in 4 days not having someone to fix that was crazy.
Kevin, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Great stay Small room but price and location was good
Carolyn, 3-night trip

Nice small hotel close to Paddington station, Hyde park and shopping. We were able to check in early which was much appreciated as we were tired from travelling.

Lovely and clean. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was perfect. Would recommend this hotel.
Cynthia, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Average at expensive London prices

Hotels near to Paddington making it a good location. Room was however very basic and not comfortable. The price as what you’d expect to pay in London but next time we will look to pay more for better accommodation.
