We booked on the day we went. Hotel a few mins walk from Paddington and was a pleasant walk through Hyde Park to the museums the following day. Also, walked back to the hotel from Marble Arch, down the Edgeware Road, Praed Street where we found a great Greek restaurant opposite a Tesco Metro (looking it up I think it... More

The Athena hotel is very easy to get to from Paddington station. We stayed in a triple room that was a good size for a London hotel. The price was extremely good. Breakfast was an average English breakfast good to get filled up and start your day with. Water pressure was good, bathroom remodeled and was kept clean. Our room... More

The Hotel is just 5-10 mins walk from Paddington station, which is ideal for taking the Heathrow Express train and London tube. Rooms were recently renovated and where kept clean. Our room was reasonably sized for a double bed in London. The English breakfast is adequate. It included cereals, fruit salad and toast. The hotel has a good sized lift,... More

Friendly staff, decent price for Great location, 10 minutes from Paddington Station on foot. Our room was a smallish family one. Outdated needed some work. Breakfast will fill you up if not most spectacular. Looks just like every other Victorian hotel on this street.

This is a great location - 2 minutes to Paddington or 5 mins to Lancaster Gate tube. The breakfast included was not too bad - there was a choice of hot food as well, which was nice. The room was poor. The bathroom door and tv cabinet door had stains on them. The bathroom sink was blocked. There was a... More

I paid more than 90 pounds a night to stay here for 4 nights, for a onepersonsroom. when I arrived they put me, without asking, in different hotel (of not even 2 starres). The room smelled, was noisy, the light was broken, the bed was rock hard and the room itself was not even 4 m2 big. The day after... More
