Was told 3 days before arrival we were going to have to move to another guest House because of over booking. After a few phonecalls we eventually got the Guest house I originally booked. The Owner was helpful enough and gave us breakfast on the house for the inconvenience. The room was fine for what we wanted, ie a room... More

We booked to stay at this Guest house a few months in advance. The day before we were due to arrive, we received an email from them cancelling our booking because they had overbooked on their rooms allocation. Apart from the sheer inconvenience of this, they didn't even have the basic courtesy to notify us by telephone (despite having our... More

I stayed at this hotel with my 15 year old daughter in order to attend a gig at the O2 Academy down the road (Killing Joke, for those who are interested). Based on our experience, I feel that the previous poor reviews are unfair and paint an inaccurate picture. We actually stayed in the guest house itself, not the additional... More

Stayed here for one night and was very disappointed considering the room wasn't cheap. The shower had mould along the edges, the toilet flush was broken and the toilet didn't flush properly. No parking at all, had to park down a tiny road. The owner had a terrible cough, put me off having breakfast at all. Would not stay here... More

Awful awful awul, dirty, unsafe, not what had booked - had to go a further 150 yeard to what felt like student digs. Pubic hair in the fridge and beds. Dirt and mould in the shower, dirty sheets, dirty floor, naked neighbour that swore loudly... Not what we had hoped at al.... vowed to never go back to the Cowely... More

Really dissapointed in this place. When we arrived we checked in, paid and were then told tha our room was 150m further up the road. This turned into more like 3 times that distance. The room itself was shabby at best, dust everywhere, rusty fridge, generally tired and grubby. We did complain and were moved to another room which was... More

My partner and I stayed for two nights here at Athena Guest House. The service was really good! The room was also really modern and beautifully decorated. Very clean and ensuite. It was lovely to see so much provided in the rooms. Biscuits, a variety of tea, coffee and even hot chocolate! We were even more suprised to see such... More

Our stay in Athena Guest House was really awful: When we arrived at Athena, we had to check in ourselves, since the owner, "Jack", was not there. We got a description via mobile phone, where the keys were hidden. In his messages via mobile phone "Jack" reminded us several times that we had to pay immediately after having arrived. We... More

The owner of the property runs a few B&B houses under the name of "Athena Guest house" but it was not clear over the phone that we will get a room in a house more far from the center (which was originally depicted), around 1 km. We also asked if he had parking and he said yes but it turned... More
