We are a family of five and LOVED our stay at Athena! This place is a gem! All staff we met were beyond kind, helpful, and professional. Our room was spotless and perfect, we felt so lucky to have reserved it at the last minute. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The location was super convenient as well! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

Attentive staff, good cleanliness, close to Paddington train station which has a direct connection to the airport. The breakfast is reasonably priced, allowing you to explore the city already fed.

Travelled with family
Liked: Staff & service
The highlight of my stay was the staff, very friendly and accommodating. Also, the location was close to a lot of different options and walking distance from Paddington Station which is a large station that easily connects to most lines in London. Ideal location to quickly get around. However, the room floor was a little dusty. Also, I asked for a room with 3 beds and one of the beds was a cot, that was disappointing.
