Great staff, clean bite size rooms

We had a great stay at our hotel near Paddington. The room was bite size but exactly what we needed. The beds were comfortable, and there were extra blankets which is great as my mom tends to run cold. The desk staff were friendly and helpful with questions about transportation.

Our first morning we woke up to screaming kids at 6 am I went to the front counter to look for help but instead I was met with a rude angry woman who proceeded to yell and scream at me on how she can’t do anything about this lobby was full of customers and she over talk me wouldn’t let me speak. Absolutely rude I would never stay here again I regret staying here never felt so embarrassed for me and my kid who ended up scared thinking we were gonna get kick out. We did nothing wrong to get treated like this especially for the money we paid. I work in the customer service industry and never ever treat a customer like this let alone talk to another human like this. 1/10 stars if I could I would ask for a refund. Back here in Canada I will do everything in my power to let everyone know how bad this place is and will continue to post on every social site about the The Athena. Bad , rude and not worth the verbal abuse we suffer from the staff at this facility

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Athena Hotel in London, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist with any queries or needs. The location is truly unbeatable, being just a short walk from Paddington Station and Hyde Park, making it easy to explore the city. The amenities at the hotel were also impressive. The rooms were well-equipped with essentials like a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities, and a comfortable bed. The complimentary Wi-Fi and breakfast were great perks as well. However, there was one aspect that didn't quite meet my expectations: the shower temperature. Unfortunately, the water was consistently too hot for my comfort, which made it a bit challenging to enjoy the shower experience. Despite this minor issue, I would highly recommend the Athena Hotel for its excellent service, prime location, and good value for money. If you're looking for a convenient and welcoming place to stay in London, Athena Hotel is definitely worth considering.
