Excellent

I was disappointed that the room was in basement-level. There was very little natural light in the room, because there was a wall right outside of the windows.
Also, the bathroom was tiny.
But the beds were clean, and loads of channels on the tv.
No AC not very great. Elevator didn't work at times. We had to sign some document at checkin regarding getting charged a full day if you just leave the room a few minutes wait. That felt uncomfortable.
Pleasant staff, easy checkin and checkout. Allowed me leave bagage in storage area for 4-5 hours after checkout. Breakfast 8.5gbp was probably worth the money but not inspiring. Good quiet location despite busy area. Lots of restaurants and small grocery stores nearby.
Reasonably priced hotel in excellent location for transportation. The room was clean and bathroom well equipped with heated floor!
Only negative was I have twice had to leave for flights before breakfast was served (from 7.30).
Our state was excellent! We appreciate it the staff so much! They were able to accommodate all of our needs and wishes happily and beyond. The room was small but adequate for our family. However it was perfect for a weekend in London. It is well situated close to the Paddington tube station. Very easy to get on the circle line and explore London. I would recommend it highly to anyone wanting to stay in the city! Thank you
We wanted a location near Paddington Station and this was perfect. The room was clean and spacious but only a skylight for a window. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness
Liked location near Paddington Station but rooms are very small.
We had a great stay at the Athena. It was quite small but we knew that going in. The location was great, just a few minutes walk to the Metro and several bus stops. The property was clean and felt safe at all times of day or night. There are also many shops and food within just a short walk as well.
