The room wasn't very big but it was very clean and comfortable. Perfect for people that stay out all day and just need a clean, nice place to rest. Although it's very central and has great transport connections, it's a very quiet and safe neighborhood. The breakfast is fine, and the staff is super, super nice and helpful! I will come back for sure!

Athena Hotel is a great place to stay while visiting London. We were so surprised at how convenient it was to stay in that location. Close enough to Paddington Station but not close enough to be bothered by noise. …

Very good value for money! Our room was a little small but very clean and functional for 2 adults and 2 children. The location is very convenient, just a few steps from Paddington station, and the area is very pleasant. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and always have a little thought for the children. Highly recommend!

The staff in the reception were welcoming and nice.||The room was small, not leaving much room for anything but sleeping, but the beds were good for that purpose. The sheets on one of the beds had stains on them. …

A great little hotel in an excellent location just 5min walk from Paddington Station. Booked a family room for five which was modern, comfortable and clean. Staff were warm and friendly, professional and helpful. We booked direct so breakfast was included. The food was perfectly adequate and the staff ensured we all left with a full stomach. Overall, a great experience and good value for money for a 3-star hotel in Central London.

I stayed at the Athena this September and honestly, it was one of those rare hotel experiences where you feel genuinely cared for. The room was cosy, spotless, and kept in top shape by the housekeeping team the whole time I was there. …

The service was amazing, when we needed to change rooms from what we originally booked, they were quick to help us and even gave us a discount. The rooms are decent, but quite small and vary throughout the hotel. Two people in our group booked a 2 bed room and they got what seemed like a very small version of a college dorm and then when me and my friend got a 2 bed room, it was completely different when tons of extra space. The 5 bed room is only 4 beds, the big bed being just a full so plan accordingly with that. They did not tell us this originally, but they do come into your room to make the bed during the day. I would have liked to know that before we left for the day, but there was not any "do not disturb" cards either. The location was perfect for what we needed. There was several decent restaurants including McDonald's just around the corner. The bus stop to take you into the heart of London (Big Ben, the Eye, etc.) was also around the corner. Hyde park was also just a 15 minute walk away. Overall the area seemed very safe. Breakfast is also included, we did not partake though as it seemed to only be eggs, toast, and fruit.Overall it was exactly what we needed as tourist only staying in London for 3 nights, but if you plan to stay in your rooms for more than just a place to rest, there are several other hotels in the area. For the experience, I would stay at The Athena again.

Nice hotel in safe environment. Near Paddington station and easy to explore London. Rooms small, like everywhere in London, but clean. Good beds. Breakfast included when booked straight from hotel.|Friendly staff and room cleaned everyday.

We stayed at Athena for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay. It is located in a block with a lot of hotels, very close to Paddington station and in a safe area.Our room did not have a window, but did have a skylight with a remote control to open and close the unit and blinds.We only had the breakfast one morning and chose to skip it otherwise. It was fine and included with our stay (because we booked directly through their site) - it was mainly pastries, juice, hard boiled eggs and meat/cheese along with tea/coffee.Everyone was incredibly helpful and kind, the hotel was very clean and we enjoyed our stay!
