            great place to land after 3 days in the forest”

            awesome bed, clean style, nice pool

            After doing one of the adventure tours in the forest near Pakse for 3 days, the Athena Hotel was a fantastic landing place! The bed and bedding was absolutely the most comfortable I've experienced while traveling Southeast Asia (where I have had about 4 months total travel time so far). The room also had a lot of those little extras you expect in a nice place, like mosquito plug-ins and toiletries in the bathroom. The hot water shower and WiFi worked well. The breakfast was delivered to us on our balcony in the morning. It was delicious, and we were given several order options rather than a set menu. Pakse as a city is not that great, it is mostly a jumping off point for the 4,000 islands or other adventures, but if you need a nice place to stay here, this is a good choice.

            Best hotel in Paksé”

            New building, central location, friedly and helpful staff

            I have spent five days in Paksé at the Athena Hotel. The Athena hotel was a pleasant surprise. It is new and spotlessly clean. It is probably the best hotel in town. It is a two-story building built around a small swimming pool. Although the hotel lies on one of the main roads of the town, the rooms are quiet. Breakfast is basic but sufficient. There is free WiFi. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. You can reach the central area of the town in a few minutes on foot. The large new market is a short taxi ride or a 15 min walk away. The Bolaven plateau and Wat Pho in Champasak can be visited on day tours from Paksé. Directly adjacent to the hotel are two small informal restaurants serving local dishes.

            Near the good restaurants, Herbal sauna next to the hotel, kind staffs

            We stayed here for 2 nights as our first trip to Pakse. Before coming to Pakse we didn't know about the city, where is actually the 2nd largest town of Laos, and after that we enjoyed the stay there, it is a good place to stay relaxed, there have some good restaurants. The hotel is very new and modern designed, and is rare in Pakse such a modern designed hotel. The balcony outside the room, facing the swimming pool, is good for enjoying drinking, such as BEERLAO or Laos spirits "LaoLao" after dinner. I strongly recommend this hotel to stay, and if we have another opportunity to visit Pakse, we want to stay again this hotel.

            A Pool in Pakse”

            Large, clean and comfortable room; Swimming pool; English speaking host

            We chose to stay at Athena Hotel not because of location, but because of the swimming pool and the rooms. Both looked fabulous on the website and we weren't disappointed by the reality. Rooms are large and tastefully decorated with comfortable beds, air-conditioning, great bathrooms, bathrobes, private patio overlooking the pool and very comfortable poolside loungers. Breakfast was good and the staff were accommodating in serving ours by the pool each morning instead of in the air-conditioned dining room. The manager and receptionist went above and beyond in trying to help us visit Bolaven Farms (which is not on the tourist map nor on Google earth!).

            The staff at the Athena were really great and helped us a great deal. The rooms were spacious clean and overlooked the pool. Although not central in Pakse it only takes 10 minutes to walk to the centr. Opposite the Delta Coffee place which is an added bonus if you need coffee and a cake. The food is also good and the breakfasts are great.

            Rooms and pool

            The rooms and entire hotel were very well kept and beautifully appointed. Breakfast was good, nothing special, but plenty to choose from on the menu and more than enough to eat. Staff was friendly, but very quiet as most Loas people are. Would reccomend the Athena to friends and definitely go back myself. The one down side was what seemed to a car wash next door that was quite loud during the day. Also not right in the main downtown action (not that there's a lot of downtown action in Pakse), but an easy walk to get there.

            Excellent experience”

            Attractive/good service /tasty food

            we were delighted with the athena. only 1 year old it is beautifully built with quality fittings and lots of timber. the design is compact with clever use of a small space. you have access to your own small deck facing the courtyard and swimming pool which is inviting, clean and especially attractive at night with the garden tastefully lit. you can sit in a stylish wooden rocking chair and sip a cold lao beer by the pool.upon arrival the staff were friendly and well organised so we were settled into our room within a few minutes. we dined in their restaurant where the waiters were attentive ..limited english but well trained. food was plentiful and tasty. as we had an early flight we were able to put in our breakfast order which was ready upon our appointed time and then the manager drove us to the airport in a comfortable van as part of the price. certainly recommend this for value, style and convenience as it is on the main road but quiet enough.

            Cozy and gorgeous”

            Athena has done so many things right! Beautiful comfortable rooms and nice, cozy poolside area. Unfortunately there was no quiet place to sit with the loud and very disturbing construction noise that started early morning until 6 at night. Absolutely robbed us of the peace that Athena so thoughtfully built into their design. We wished they would have offered a reduced rate for the inconvenience. Some day we envision this being a nice place to stay. IF the venue being built next door is not noisy at night. Looks like it may be a venue for weddings and parties which means loud music all night long.

            nice comfy rooms - lovely pool

            We have stayed there 3 nights and absolutely loved it. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The hotel is new and well maintained. Staff is very friendly but only speaks a few words English. Breakfast was freshly prepared. Although the hotel is a little out of the center, everything is well within walking distance. Good value for money and should we go back to Pakse we will def stay there again.

            We had a nice stay in Athena hotel. The city was very hot and dusty so it was nice to jump in the ( freezing cold, i do not how that was possible) swimmingpool. The room was very nice and clean. The bed and shower good. Internet fast. The breakfast okay. The location was so so. You could walk to the center but was not a nice walk.

            cleanliness, spacious, friendly staff

            My stay at Athena was very nice & relaxing. Though, breakfast was not so fancy but acceptable. I like the interior, pool and wooden floor. A lady at the front office was nice and very helpful. Not all standard room has pool view. I booked three rooms which only one room has nice pool view. Agoda should have included room view into booking details. Overall, I will return to this hotel again.

            The hotel was nice, not so cheap, comparatively, but worth the expense,breakfast was very good,nice ,big,clean rooms. Nice view over the pool area.The staff are very friendly and for Pakse speak reasonably good english.It's very central and although Pakse is a stepping stone to the 4000 islands further south,this hotel is a very good option to overnight in if u are using the airport. All in all a great hotel.

            Lovely fluffy bedding, salt water pool, excellent service

            There is nothing not to love about Athena! The room is excellently appointed with adorably, inviting clean white sheets and fluffy duvet. The bathroom was spotless with a nice big shower (no bathtub but that did not bother me). The rooms open onto balconies with outdoor sitting area, which is very useful: a great place to enjoy your room service or breakfast! I ordered dinner there and had the "fish steak" - it was much more delicious than it sounds, with a wonderful creamy sauce and side vegetables. Delicious! The pool was perfect and both times I went swimming I was the only one. The staff are very friendly.

The rooms are large and comfortable, with windows overlooking the pool. The hotel is well position in the little town.
