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.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff were present and available. I was very grateful for the location, both in nearness to Paddington station and also for the lovely and generally quiet tree-lined lane that runs parallel to the larger road. Our room was supported well by air conditioning, which we selected specifically for that reason after flying in from Portugal and as London was having quite warm temps, however, because it is below the main office (I believe) there was thumping noises on the ceiling ALL NIGHT literally. This made for a lack of much needed sleep before our trans-Atlantic flight.

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.

The staff is incredibly nice and very easy to work with if you have any problems, the size of the room and bathroom are quite small for the price per night and having the power cut out on my final night wasn't ideal, but otherwise it was a great stay!

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.

Paddington is a convenient location, underground, bars and restaurants. If you are used to American hotels this will be very small. My room was about $200 per which was the original reason I choose this property. This is my second time staying here so I must think it's 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.
