This place was in a great location, just a little small for our family. The people at breakfast in the morning were always smiling and helpful. I just noticed the bed had a foul odor; they may need to replace it soon. But other than that, it was a good choice for us.

I wouldn’t recommend this property for a family as the rooms are very very tiny and there is no space to put suitcases. There is also no fridge in the room which makes it difficult when you are travelling with medications that require it. Overall the staff were nice except for one woman who was very rude when I asked for help with retrieving medications I had stored in the staff fridge. Overall for the money I would go elsewhere if travelling with a family

El hotel está bien ubicado en la zona de Paddinton, a pocas cuadras de estación de metro y buses. También pasan cerca los buses turísticos. La limpieza es su mayor atributo. Las habitaciones están bien pero es muy complicado llegar a ellas, bajando escaleras y teniendo que pasar por varias puertas y en nuestro caso teniendo que atravesar el desayunador. En el caso nuestro la habitación 54 se encontraba debajo de la recepción y se escuchaban ruidos en el techo todo el tiempo ( tratar de evitarla). Hay desayuno muy completo pagando un adicional. La habitación posee caja de seguridad. Por el precio abonado hubiera esperado un frigobar. En síntesis, el hotel está bien, pero con algunos detalles seria óptimo.

VERY SMALL ROOM - NO AIR CONDITIONING

The room was way too small and could barely fit a double bed in it. It felt very claustrophobic. The thing that made it worse was that there was no air conditioning and it was in the middle of a heatwave. The man at reception did provide us with two fans to be fair. But overall, this room was not value for money at all.

The Athena provided the exact experience we sought for a short stay in London. Our teenagers had never been to London, and we had an extended layover from another trip, so we booked close to Paddington Station to get to and from the airport quickly. The strip of beautiful old homes weaved together on a square made for a fantastic setting. It is located off of a main road with plenty of restaurants to choose from and easy access to public transport. The hotel staff were so pleasant and helpful, and the check in went smoothly and quickly. We loved the authenticity of the building with small, steep, creaky stairs; a quaint, surprisingly roomy room with a double; located on the third floor with a pleasant breeze coming through the windows and a tabletop fan to keep cool in the summer. The bathroom updates were nice and the hotel overall added to our inner London experience, with character and charm. The continental breakfast is a nice way to end the stay, along with the option to hold bags. We may have found the quarters tight if we intended to spend any time other than sleeping and freshening up, but we went to explore London, not stay in the room, and we sought and appreciated the character of the property.
