Apart from the location - a couple of minutes walk from Paddington station - this is a mediocre hotel in almost every way. Some efforts have been made to renovate the rooms but they don't add up to much - my room had some new furnishings, the bed was fine, but there was an old sock under it where no-one... More

Just spent one night there and had a triple room in the basement. First is location....very good location for Paddington Station and only 10 mins walk to Oxford Street. Reception staff very friendly and let us leave our luggage for the day which is handy. The room we had smelt a bit damp which could have been down to the... More

My friend and I stayed two night at this hotel on the 27th & 28th of February. We paid 80 USD a night (40 each because we split it) which was the same price we were considering paying for a hostel... so glad I chose here instead! Even though our room had not been refurbished yet (53) you could tell... More

Myself & my girlfriend stopped here for 2 nights on the 27th January 2012, and for £75 a night bed & breakfast it was very reasonable. The hotel looks like it's had a makeover at some point, but the finishing off leaves a lot to be desired, but for the price you pay it's relatively clean and presentable, yes the... More

I stayed in there with my family in may while on a holiday, overall we thought the athena hotel was alright. Our room was a tad small but we were mainly out looking at the magnificent sights of London. Pretty good location, near a few things like hyde park, madame tussuads, Abby road, and a few more :) had a... More

We had a terrible stay there! The staff can be very rude, especially those who serve breakfast in the morning. The room was very dusty, the curtains looked as though they've never been cleaned since they've been put up and the bed covers looked so terrible! Furthermore, some of the amenities in the room were not working. I will never... More

As a family of five we stayed in the family room which has one double and 3 single beds. Room was clean and not too cramped. Breakfast was good and service was very good overall other than one of the ladies who serves breakfast who does have an attitude problem. Good value for money, would certainly stay again. More

Stayed for my second visit. The hotel had been reurbished during last year and the room was nice and modern but rather small. We had ordered a twin bed room but got a double:-(( Breakfast was nice this time also. More

This hotel is a few blocks from Paddington Station and about a 15-20 minute walk to Oxford st. The hotel seems to have undergone renovations. The room we were in was very roomy with high ceilings and clean. The beds were comfortable. There was a towel warmer in the bathroom which was quite handy. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic....
