Reception welcomed us warmly upon arrival, and the check-in process was quick and smooth. The rooms were clean, and the location was perfect—just a short walk to the bus stops and Paddington Station, with plenty of restaurants and souvenir shops nearby. I highly recommend Athena Hotel for a comfortable and convenient stay! Apologies that I didn’t catch the name of the young male receptionist who checked us in on March 25, 2026 around 1:00PM.He was very friendly and helpful.

We are a family of five and LOVED our stay at Athena! This place is a gem! All staff we met were beyond kind, helpful, and professional. Our room was spotless and perfect, we felt so lucky to have reserved it at the last minute. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The location was super convenient as well! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.
