Front desk staff was very friendly, and the hotel is conveniently located about 3 blocks from Paddington train and tube station. We stayed 2 nights and had breakfast at the hotel the 2nd morning. Breakfast was pretty good, continental style, but with hard boiled eggs, meats and cheeses and porridge available. Our room, #26, was very small, with few amenities and some basic things missing —no sink stopper, no Kleenex/tissue provided, no window screen and only one small towel bar in the bathroom that was up so high that my wife couldn’t reach/use it. There are a lot of hotels in this area, so I think we’ll pick another one when we return to this area.

Very convenient to Paddington and hence a great place to stay for people coming from Heathrow and wanting a base in London for a few days. We took the Heathrow Express to Paddington and then took the short walk to the Athena Hotel. Then we took the bus or Underground to visit many places in London. Our room was nice: It accommodated our full family without the need for two rooms. The breakfast was also nice and the staff were friendly.

This hotel is conveniently located near Paddington station and close to other walkable areas and parks. The room was clean and well kept. The size of the room is extremely small, in the limit of being non functional. If staying with family think twice

Great location near Paddington Station. Quiet area. Superb pub nearby (Victoria). Room was small for 5 adults. Otherwise very correct. Would recommend but confirm room sizes are appropriate for your party.

While vacationing in UK 🇬🇧 I surprised my wife and our daughters a day trip and stay over in Amsterdam for her 50th Birthday. I’m very surprised this hotel has apartment size room called (Amstel) it’s a family room that can accommodate up to 6 people, having your own garden view and access to backyard. Heated floors, 2 huge bathrooms and a kitchen dining table with sink. The staff are very helpful and the hotel served breakfast with a fee. Shopping and public park are very close to hotel. Definitely will come back in the future trip to Amsterdam.

Lovely hotel, a solid 3 star property. Staff were friendly and the location itself was very good. Very close to Paddington station and just around the corner from lots of shops, food places etc. The family room we stayed in was small and basic but, to be fair, it was as expected. I would stay in this hotel again.

We enjoyed the fact that so many places, including Paddington Station, were easily accessible. Our room was clean and a fan was provided for the hot weather. All the staff at reception went out of their way to be helpful. They made our stay enjoyable. Thank you.
