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.

8/10 Very good

To everyone at the Athena Hotel The following has been translated from Japanese into English using Google. I apologize if it doesn't make sense. Thank you for your stay from November 24th to 27th. I returned home safely. I would like to thank the staff for their warm hospitality. My room number was 1, but I think it would have been even better if there had been a small refrigerator in the room to store my groceries. However, the hotel is close to Paddington Station and is very convenient, so I am very satisfied. I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much. With gratitude from Japan. From Kunio Furukawa.
