We loved our stay at Athena Premier. There were 5 of us and the apartment with three rooms worked perfectly for us. The pool and location were amazing, nicely tucked away into the limestone cliffs for privacy from the town bustle! We were able to hire Athena bikes for free and explore the town only a short distance away. Breakfast was also lovely and filling. This place is perfect for families. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff
Clean room. Though, the bathroom was very hot even with the AC on all day.
Nice pool area but early closng time at 8pm and the pool bar only opens after 3pm. The bartender mistook our drinks with someone's else.
The only bad experience we had with the hotel was the transportation to Ha Noi. It was a separate service that we booked through the hotel. We had to changed 3 times, and got dropped of around the corner instead of in front of our next hotel. It was a short walk but with all the luggages we had and the crazy traffic with no sidewalk, it was not enjoyable AT ALL.

Photos look nicer than the actual property, although it looks nice at night. Picturesque and quiet location.
Nice trail walk to town.
Breakfast was poor, only black tea and coffee and run out very quickly, we asked several times for coffee and they ignored us, more a 3 stars breakfast overall.
Rooms very basic.

In no particular order, here are our issues. On two of the nights of there was loud parties going on till two or 3:30 in the morning when we attempted to call the front desk, but there were no answers. It’s a good thing we weren’t having a heart attack. The beautiful pond indicated in the photographs is actually a sewage catchment basin . Smelling as though you were sleeping next to an open sewer. The breakfast almost identical every morning with music playing on a loop every 10 seconds exactly the same sounds. The dinner definitely eat out elsewhere, the pillows cheap polyester poly fill almost as cheap as the sheets. The water pressure was great and the little open area next to the shower was sweet, particularly when the rat decided to make an appearance, limited shower facilities for a woman like no body lotion, etc..

Ok this place was AMAZING! We stayed for a couple days and loved every second. If you’re in the fence about booking this hotel DO IT! The. Food is great, the bathrooms are nice, the beds are comfy, the views are breathtaking, and the pool is a 10/10. The staff was nice and friendly too! I will definitely be back.

Athena Resort is a fantastic unique hotel in Ninh Binh, the little house style accommodation feels like a home away from home and the pool facilities are expansive. The staff were fantastic including helping us to confirm details on sleeper buses we were taking to the next leg of our trip. The resort is standalone so is extremely quiet and tranquil with the small village of Tam Coc not too far away (20 min walk down a single road over the rice paddies), or a quick taxi / bike ride. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Oasis

This hotel is a bit off the beaten path but quiet, and perfect for exploring Ninh Binh attractions. We used the free bicycles to go to Mua Cave. The property is lush and beautiful with waterfalls, koi fish, and plants everywhere. We loved the unique bathroom with an outdoor feel and the balcony on the water. Staff in the hotel were so helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay again.

Stunning hotel & great location!

Staff at this hotel are very nice and welcoming. Location is also perfect for exploring. Close to Tam Coc and surrounding attractions. Grounds of the hotel are beautiful and rooms are clean and very comfortable. Definitely felt like a luxury staying here and it’s very reasonably priced for the standard of hotel. So enjoyable we decided to extend our stay.

Wonderful stay in this resort. We spent only one night but everything was awesome. The room is huge and beautiful. The staff is super friendly and highly efficient to help you optimize your stay in the region. You can borrow a bike for free. Restaurant is excellent. On the day of departure, we had to take a train at night and they offered us to come back to the hotel after our visits and stay by the pool and have dinner at the restaurant before taxi to the train station. Very greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this place!

Poor overall!

We loved Vietnam, but this hotel doesnt do it justice. Was excited to splurge on accommodation in a 3 bed villa but was overall very poor.
When checking in we were first told of a list that we had to check when wntering the room. If missing when we check out we have to pay to replace. Just started it off poorly.
The room was ok and overall beytiful surroundings.
Bathroom stunk off sewage and gradually got worse.
Customer service was well below we had experienced in our time in Vietnam. On checking out we had to pay to 'replace' a dirty towel that could of easily been washed. Was only arounf 1.50 so just wanted checkout and leave. The towel was used to clean the kids legs after getting dirt on them from cycling.
We highlighted how poor this was and didnt get a response.
It wasnt hugely busy when there but the atmopshere was lacking in what could be an amazing hotel.
Plenty of better options else where also close by, cheaper, better customer service and better represents a great country to holiday.

Det var et smukt og hyggeligt sted med fantastiske terrasser lige ud til en lille flod med rismarker bagved.

Alt i alt en god oplevelse.

Værelset var fint. Badeværelset var dejligt stort. De der kunne godt få nogle bedre møbler til terrasse og Der kunne generelt godt være et bedre finish på værelserne og hotellet.

Rengøringen var rigtig fin.

Der var meget forskelligt at vælge til morgenmaden.

Der var mulighed for at låne cykler gratis, men der var ikke nok til alle gæster. Man kunne leje en scooter for dagen til billige penge.

Området er dejligt stille og lidt væk fra byen.

En ting der dog trækker ned for os er, at der den sidste aften blev holdt en stor fest på hotellet for et større selskab. Der var meget høj dj musik og karaoke samtidigt. Der var ingen varsling eller kompensation til alle gæsterne, som skulle høre på larmen. Festen sluttede dog klokken 22.
