Can’t say enough positive about our stay. The location is great with easy connections at Paddington and proximity to Hyde Park. We easily mad the walk to Buckingham several times.

We stayed at the Athena due to its proximity to Paddington Station for the Heathrow Express. We found it very walkable to many places including, Hyde Park, Soho, Notting Hill, Museums and Harrods. It was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had a couple of small issues in our room and the staff fixed them right away. Would recommend this hotel.
