10/10 Exceptional

I just stayed overnight in order to be close to Paddington station. The room was good because there was no carpeting and the window opened. The decor is cheerful. The shower worked well and the bed was comfortable. The front desk staff are the same pleasant young people I have met on many stays at the Athena. This is very reassuring and welcoming.
