Convenient, pleasant and safe for solo women
As a solo traveler I found this hotel to be perfect for me! A short walk from Paddington station, lots of little restaurants and grocery stores within a 15min walk. But it was also very quiet, clean and felt safe. The room was a comfortable size and the bathroom looked newly renovated. I would stay here again!

Liked: Staff & service
There was an eggshell in the toilet, and bits of eggshell on the bathroom floor. No idea what that was about. The room is tiny and the light from the hallway shines through the gap in the door all night. The staff walked around shouting during the daytime which isn't very restful if, like me, you booked a room to have somewhere to try and sleep after a big night out. The shower is amazing - hot, high water pressure - all the things you don't normally get in a hotel.

Best place we stayed during our trip. It was an ongoing joke about how small the bathroom sinks could get. Athena was a place of respite and warmth. Nice sized sinks and wonderful bathroom. Beds were comfortable and clean. Located near public transportation.

Location! Friendly staff!
I had the best stay at Athena ! Staff was friendly and helpful. The location is super convenient to Paddington Station, Hyde park, and has some good places to grab food or coffee ! It was the perfect set-up for a solo venture. The showers are small, so could be uncomfortable for taller individuals. The room was more comfy than the pics looked ( i couldn't get mine to upload)
