"Stayed in a presidential suite. It was a good unit of 2 bedrooms on the 7th floor. The check in was not smooth and took more time than usual. There were issues with wifi as signal was weak but it got sorted out. The staff were quick to remind us that our room did not include a breakfast. Wierd because a person who has booked a suite would generally know what is and is not included in the booking. The staff could be more courteous."

"Very nice deluxe room which was lovely and clean. It had a small balcony but panoramic city views from the double aspect windows being the end room. There was a kettle with complimentary coffee too. The en-suite shower was lovely and light, it also had shower cream and shampoo! The staff were extremely courteous. The buffet breakfast was delicious and had some traditional Thai porridge, steamed pork bun, chicken sausage, selection of curry with rice and egg plant. There was also toast, jam, marmalade and cereal. Great hot drink choice from the self serve coffee machine and fruit juice too. I will be staying at the Lee Hotel again when I’m back in February 2026. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough, a really excellent choice."
