4/10 Fair

Athena not recommended
The room was booked for 5. 3 adult and 2 children aged 4 and 7. The picture of it made it look more spacious than it actually was. There were bunk beds for the children. The mattress on the top bunk didn't fit There were spaces at the sides. This showed the lattes under neath, there were full of dust. The double bed quilt cover was dirty. Reported it to reception who brought a new cover. I asked if she expected me to do it. She changed the cover. The new one had black spots on. I didn't bother to complain again. The single bed and the bunk beds were next to windows. Although the windows were shut there was a draft through them, they were also dirty. The lamps were covered in dust There was no ventilation in the bathroom. The shower unit was dirty The one and only chair had stains on It's not a place I would recommend because of the aforementioned

Easy in. Easy out. If you’re arriving to London at Heathrow Express Paddington and need a place to crash for the night, this is ideal. The staff was friendly and the room clean.

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.

Basement-level room
I was disappointed that the room was in basement-level. There was very little natural light in the room, because there was a wall right outside of the windows. Also, the bathroom was tiny. But the beds were clean, and loads of channels on the tv.

Helpful and and well situated
Our state was excellent! We appreciate it the staff so much! They were able to accommodate all of our needs and wishes happily and beyond. The room was small but adequate for our family. However it was perfect for a weekend in London. It is well situated close to the Paddington tube station. Very easy to get on the circle line and explore London. I would recommend it highly to anyone wanting to stay in the city! Thank you
