A modern, very well kept B&B a short walk away from Paddington tube and rail station. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars nearby and easy access to central London. Lovely staff and owners, always a pleasure staying there.

The room was very small and old (smell funny) but the bathroom was newly renovated with nice heated floor. The area outside the property was dirty but it was convenient because it was near dining area and a short walk from Paddington train station.

We were a family of 5 adults. The hotel staff were friendly, helpful, accommodating. The rooms were clean, spacious. The hotel is located in a row of hotels, near many restaurants, shops, Paddington station, and a short walk to Hyde Park. We could hear some street noise but that’s a trade off when you in a such a walkable area. Highly recommend.

This hotel is in a great position close to several tube lines, Oxford st and Hyde park. The accomodation is basic but cosy and perfectly fine for a short stay.

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.
