Comfortable overnight stay
Pros:

Hotel was situated in a perfect position for my one night stay arriving at Paddington Station and leaving from there next day. Sited on a pleasant street. The staff I met were very helpful and friendly. My room was plenty big enough and clean. It had everything I needed

Cons:

I chose hotel as it had a lift and I knew I had a large suitcase. However I was put in a basement room with no lift access. However staff both morning and the previous evening carried my case to reception for me so it was not an issue.

Η καθαριότητα και η άποψη εξυπηρέτηση του προσωπικού που δουλεύει εκεί,καθώς και η τοποθεσία του ξενοδοχείου είναι ένας λόγος που θα το επισκεφτώ ξανά!!

Pros:

Perfekt placering i forhold til at komme rundt i byen. Fin stille sidegade.

Cons:

Bookede hotellet pga beliggenheden og tidligere anmeldelser af hotellet, som værende rent og behageligt.
Der var ikke rent! Værelset var nødtørftigt gjort rent og vi fandt desværre hår i sengen, så vi blev nødt til at bede om at få sengetøjet skiftet..
Værelset var småt, men ok til to. Sengen var behagelig nok (til den lille side) men puderne var stenhårde.
På hjemmesiden står der, at streaming er muligt på værelserne. Det var ikke tilfældet på vores værelse. Blot til obs, hvis man ønsker at slappe af med film/serie om aftenen.
Morgenmaden er meget sparsom og dårlig kvalitet.
Personalet er dog høfligt og imødekommende.
Beliggenheden er i top, men Jeg ville ikke booke igen.

Hotel confortável e muito bem localizado
Pros:

A localização é perfeita! Perto do metrô Paddington, e próximo a vários restaurantes e lojistas bacanas. Pertinho do Hyde Park também. Quarto pequeno, mas confortável e com aquecimento no chão do banheiro. Café da manhã bomm a 9 libras por pessoa.

La première chambre minuscule qui nous avait été attribuée mais suite à ma demande de changement, l hôtel nous a transféré sans supplément dans une chambre plus grande et beaucoup plus agréable ! Merci beaucoup !

Uitstekend en vriendelijk hotel op goede locatie in Londen
Pros:

Athena hotel is een knus, gezellig hotel. Het personeel is vriendelijk, er heerst een huiselijke sfeer.
De kamers (4 persoons) zijn slim ingericht. Als je grote koffers mee hebt is het wat krap om ze neer te leggen, maar wij hebben ons prima gered. De bedden slapen goed en de douche is fijn.
Het hotel is goed bereikbaar, op korte loopafstand van metro Paddingtonstation en ook diverse bushaltes en Kensingtonpark.
Het ontbijt is goed, geen bruin brood. Wel croissants, koffiebroodjes, chocoladebroodjes, gekookt ei, kwark, vruchten, fruit, muesli, cornflakes, pap en divers beleg.
In de buurt zijn winkeltjes en restaurantjes.
Dit hotel is echt een aanrader.

Cons:

Je hoort wat straatgeluiden, maar in een hotel in een wereldstad kan je dat verwachten. Goed op te lossen met oordopjes.
