Jagdeep, 2-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.
Keith, 2-night trip

London Stay

This is a 3 star hotel and at this rating, the hotel is value for money. It's in a great location and it has the reception desk manned 24/7 together with which, they will store your luggage before and after check in/out.
Michael, 3-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.

Gladimir, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was clean and the stuff was friendly but the room was so small that we could barely get by beds.
Janae, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location! Close to bus lines, shopping, restaurants. Also a two block walk to Paddington Station to get off/on the train to the airport! We loved this place and will definitely stay again and tell our friends and family! It’s very clean and in a safe area. The continental breakfast was just enough to get us started. It’s not fancy, but was everything we needed. Staff were friendly and accommodating! Thanks for a great stay; wish we could have stayed longer!

Great value hotel

A nice clean hotel with an accommodating and friendly staff. Special thanks you to Mel and Hadi for your hospitality and making my London experience much better. Much appreciate their patience and willingness to be of assistance with any questions I had.

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay. Staff was wonderful. Only a few blocks from Paddington Station. Lots of restaurants nearby.
Andrea, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Wish I would have looked more for other options

An independent hotel in a row of hotels near Paddington Station. I chose this place, despite its price, because we needed easy access to the train station and they had a "family" room. What I did not anticipate was another sweaty couple of nights with nothing but an open window and a fan. It met our needs, but I do not know that I would stay there again.
Kevin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel with a good value for money, breakfast cheap

The value for money for a hotel of this standard in London was quite good, with very welcoming and accommodating staff. The only improving point is the quality of the breakfast (no scrambled eggs, low-quality industrial products, ...). It would be better to offer a slightly more expensive but better-quality breakfast.

Aubrey Marie Bernaldez, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Very small room. Comfy soft bed and blanket. Yellow stained bath towels (big turn off). Good for one night in Paddington. Very convenient for walking or train access.
Julie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient to anywhere. Clean and staff friendly offering check out baggage storage with no charge. A little pity is that Five nights stay but the room floor was not cleaned thoroughly in the small size of the room. A soap is only given one for long stay. Overall I would recommend this hotel.
Fang, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient place. Quiet even though it is very close to Paddington station. No air conditioning. Desk is small which is inconvenient for business trip. Cost is relatively higher than others in that area. Not sure if it worth.

Great staff, clean bite size rooms

We had a great stay at our hotel near Paddington. The room was bite size but exactly what we needed. The beds were comfortable, and there were extra blankets which is great as my mom tends to run cold. The desk staff were friendly and helpful with questions about transportation.

It is very close to St. MARY'S Hospital, which was my main reason for staying here.
