The Athena provided the exact experience we sought for a short stay in London. Our teenagers had never been to London, and we had an extended layover from another trip, so we booked close to Paddington Station to get to and from the airport quickly. The strip of beautiful old homes weaved together on a square made for a fantastic setting. It is located off of a main road with plenty of restaurants to choose from and easy access to public transport. The hotel staff were so pleasant and helpful, and the check in went smoothly and quickly. We loved the authenticity of the building with small, steep, creaky stairs; a quaint, surprisingly roomy room with a double; located on the third floor with a pleasant breeze coming through the windows and a tabletop fan to keep cool in the summer. The bathroom updates were nice and the hotel overall added to our inner London experience, with character and charm. The continental breakfast is a nice way to end the stay, along with the option to hold bags. We may have found the quarters tight if we intended to spend any time other than sleeping and freshening up, but we went to explore London, not stay in the room, and we sought and appreciated the character of the property.

My 16 year old son & I stayed for three nights & we’re very happy with our choice. This small hotel is in a very nice area close to Paddington tube & rail services, and Hyde Park. Our room was small but very clean with a nice bathroom (good shower). Beds were comfortable with cosy duvets. With a fan going (found in cupboard), the room was a good temperature even during a heart wave. We would stay again.

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.

It was a clean but small room. We were a family of four and it was on the smaller side but typical for a room in London. Very convenient to transport as Paddington Station is a 5 minute walk away.

.Make sure you have AC working

We stayed here because they had AC, not believing that we would need it. Everything was as expected except on arrival we had outlets that didn’t work until assistance came from the desk clerk. Our first night she said she turned the AC on. Second night we had no one at desk to assist and on the third a young man said, oh that room has no AC and went to get us a fan. Room was as we expected, but the comfort we wanted with AC was a big discomfort after long days in the sun.

We were greeted by Mel and Eva as we entered the hotel and they gave the best first impression ever! They were so helpful and we were able to check in early which was so nice, although they would have accommodated storing our luggage otherwise. The location was perfect with short walks to Paddington Station, restaurants, bus routs and hop on hop off bus pickup location. The hotel was spotless and there was always someone at the front desk. Would highly recommend.

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 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!
