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.

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.

June, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was fine, service was good. Only thing, what really needs to chance is breakfast. There was not anything fresh like cucumber or tomato or nothing.
Niina, 6-night trip

4/10 Fair

Location is great. Breakfast was excellent. Personnel was polite. But white sheets were noticeably stained , there was a foot print in one. The room was too small for 3 beds (one queen/ two twins) making it really difficult to move around the room.
Mathieu, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice and convenient place to stay with the family.
Gladimir, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent quiet out of the way place
Octavio, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

One night only

Flies in the room from open window. No screen to keep them out. Very small room. Flat pillows. Was there for only one night so can't say much about room service. Didn't seem to have air conditioning. Payed a lot for very little luxury.
kim, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very close to paddington, very friendly staff. Comfortable.
clara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed at the Athena many times during visits to London. Its in a great location and we always enjoy our stay. My only criticism is that they have now stopped serving full English breakfast and only offer continental for an additional charge.

SAEKO, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Decent hotel in a great location

Lobby is under renovation and the breakfast was more than a bit lacking, but the bed was really comfortable and the bedding was high quality. Also, this hotel is walking distance from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. Overall a comfortable stay.
