Easy in. Easy out. If you’re arriving to London at Heathrow Express Paddington and need a place to crash for the night, this is ideal. The staff was friendly and the room clean.

Great location with friendly and helpful staff. The room was small and the window old and draughty which made it quite cold, and the bathroom was always freezing! Granted it was the coldest November in history with snow…still, the heating system could be improved (old and dusty), but overall, because of the location, cleanliness and friendly staff I would recommend.

The Athena is a GEM. I can’t believe th price. The staff is amazing. The rooms are clean and modern. The beds are comfortable. The rooms are very small but honestly the perfect size if you just a need a place to sleep. 5 min walk from Paddington Station and 10 mins from Hyde Park with tons of restaurants right outside of it. This is my spot to stay now!

Convenient, clean and quiet.
This is the best buy hotel in London that I know of. The neighbourhood is not the best, but it is close to Paddington stn and many transit options. I keep returning because it is reliable and I have more money left over for theatre etc. My single room was at the top and not cramped. The lift rattled a bit, but it worked.

its a good basic hotel. No clocks or phones. Last year there was no TV available No worries. Very secure Excellent and very helpful staff. They told me where laundry was, a super market, where I could buy a cheap phone when I had phone problems a couple of blocks a way on Edgeware RD. very close to Paddington with multiple Metro lines.Very clean. The staff and location is what makes this hotel a winner at a more budget price. If you are there to just sleep this is the place for you. I went there last year and I returned there this year.

Basement-level room
I was disappointed that the room was in basement-level. There was very little natural light in the room, because there was a wall right outside of the windows. Also, the bathroom was tiny. But the beds were clean, and loads of channels on the tv.
