The hotel is beautiful and there is a veneer of professionalism however it quickly became clear that the facility was not ready to open as a fully functioning hotel. This should have been declared at the time of booking. The breakfasts were good but any other meals were awful, there was no coffee available through the entire hotel after 10am. Workmen we’re around much of the building, making a noise with power tools and leaving a mess. Guests were treated as second class citizens and “Guinea pigs”.
It was easy to find using navigation. The room was great, the spacious courtyard was very relaxing, and the coffee was delicious. I'll definitely return for my next business trip.
The Athena isn't bad. Everything was clean and tidy. The staff were very nice. The pool was relatively small, but okay. However, there were only about 5 sun loungers, and they were usually occupied. The à la carte breakfast was okay, but if you wanted an orange juice, it cost an extra $5 USD, which we found excessive. All in all, a good 4-star hotel with minor drawbacks.
The hotel is easy to locate on Google maps, a square of the main street, takes attention 24hs, to parking space, offers extra washing services and motorbike rental, the receptionist is very friendly, service, It should only improve your English, helped us get a taxi for the airport. The room is large, with basic facilities, shampoo, soap, water bottles (day), white towels, closet,air/con, acceptable WiFi, that if the smell of the bathroom was something strong. It is recalled that you leave 100000.00 LAK as security deposit (about $4.62) And return it to your check out.
The hotel was greatly situated on the island. They arranged everything for us including transfers back to Pakse. We hired bikes at 30,000kip each for 2 days and this was great fun. The hotel also did all of our laundry at a fee but it was beautifully clean!
The hotel restaurant did amazing food and we particularly liked the breakfast!
The pool and amenities were great and we loved our room and balcony.
Would highly recommend this!! :)
The accommodations were average for the price.
Free internet is a given in today's society, but since there was only one internet router in the center of the hallway on each floor, I couldn't connect to the internet in my room, which was only about 5 meters away. I called the staff and told them the internet connection wasn't working, but they had no other options.
If you're looking for accommodations during a tight trip, I highly recommend the Subin Hotel, located across from Daejanggeum Restaurant in the city center. Ultimately, the poor internet connection made it difficult to conduct business.
We stayed in Villa 1, the older building of this hotel. Good balcony with great view to the river, big room with enogh space. The breakfast was at the new Villa 2 which is about three minutes walking distance. Good, varied breakfast. There's also the pool which is very clean and can be used. Perfect place to enjoy sunset. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would be our choice for another time.

This was the only hotel I ever stayed at in Pakse, so don't have a way to compare it to other places, but it was priced as high or higher than most other places in town. Setup was a little strange, felt like someone's home that got converted to a hotel. Also felt like it wasn't originally designed as a 5 story building but rather that floors were subsequently added. Staff speaks little to no English with the exception of one older lady that seemed to be translating for everyone. The breakfast room at the top floor was nicely setup with beautiful river view. Breakfast was basic but nice. My room was a little dated and very basic. It had everything I needed, just everything felt super old. Curtains couldn't be properly closed all the way and the room could not be kept dark in the mornings. I also had a problem with ants in the bathroom, in my toothpaste, my shaving cream and on the towels. Overall not a bad place to stay, but when I return to Pakse I will probably try some other hotels before returning to this property.
The best choice for Dongkong Island. The hotel is right under the old bridge. The location is excellent. You can walk up to the bridge to watch the sunrise and sunset.
The breakfast was good, and the riverside dinner in the restaurant was refreshing.

HHumbertoMonteiro03The hotel gave me an amazing entrance, magnificent lobby, but 5mins later they made us wait for almost an hour to check in saying that they couldn’t find our reservation. They told us to have a sit multiple times wait for them to cum out the reservation, while we were exhausted from a long bus ride to Pakse(btw, such a horrible terrible miserable city). They’d only pay good attention to the well represented.
But after checking in, realizing the check in time on trip.com isn’t aligned with their own check in time schedule, the hotel was an amazing resting place with international TV, nice bathroom and pool outdoors. In such a dirty city like Pakse, we have a better stay because of the nice hotel.
Just one last little tip for the hotel, recruit people who speak good English please.

GGuest UserLovely resort in Pakse which faces the Mekong river so there is a lovely view and breeze!
The staff were amazing from the cleaners to the receptionists. I'm sure this resort will get very popular soon as it is a hidden gem.
I stayed over Christmas and was able to have the receptionists help me book activities during my stay.
I would recommend booking their taxi service from the airport as there are no local taxis available.

BBOBshenThe hotel is large in scale and well-equipped, and is located in the center of Khong En Falls and Li Pi Falls.
The hotel covers a long stretch of the Mekong River, with beautiful scenery.
The hotel is run by Chinese people themselves, and the dishes are also in line with Chinese tastes.
Here I would like to especially praise the front desk manager BESS Yang Hongmei, who is superb in business and enthusiastic. She gave us a lot of travel information and suggestions, and helped us in time when we lost our way.
When you come to the four beautiful islands, Manman Hotel is the best choice.
