What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I was very happy with the entire process, the booking and our stay. The restaurant is fabulous, the rooms very good and extremely comfy beds. I really appreciated the well appointed gym and the very friendly staff.”
“We had a fantastic stay at the Athena Hotel in Toowoomba. Marcus and Karen were some of the friendliest and most welcoming hosts we’ve come across – nothing was too much trouble and they genuinely made us feel at home. The weekly meal deal was excellent value and a real bonus during a longer stay. Our room was exceptional: spotlessly clean, thoughtfully set up, and incredibly comfortable. The bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve slept in, and the amenities were well above expectations – full cooking utensils, hotplates, microwave, dishwasher, and everything you’d need whether staying short- or long-term. A large 50-inch TV topped it off nicely, making it easy to relax in the evenings. Overall, great value, great comfort, and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommended and we’d happily stay again.”
“I often stay in Toowoomba for work, and over the last year I’ve been staying at Athena. It’s always been great. Great reception, good-sized rooms, very clean, comfortable bed, and a big TV with all the apps. They even have their own Netflix account that you can use. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else and always recommend it.”
“Needing accomodation near Toowoomba Base Hospital, we found Athena Motel Apartments. Booking a 2 bedroom apartment, we enjoyed our stay in comfort. There is hospital access through a back gate and it made visiting a family member there easy and quick. The beds were comfortable, and kitchenette meant we could cook some meals when needed. Staff were friendly and helpful with advice and local knowledge.”
