The Lek Aree

Pros: A lovely place to stay, the room was large and it felt as though you were staying in someone's personal bedroom

Cons: I would not consider this as a hotel as its more like a guest house. Check in was confusing and it was difficult to even find the staff

Most comfortable bed ever!

Pros: The most cosy comfortable bed ever! Great location just a few minutes walk from Ari skytrain station. Nice quiet street. Very spacious rooms. Great value for Bangkok.

Luxury hidden among the skyscrapers.

Pros: These are very luxurious apartments — spacious and clean. It’s also very close to the BTS station.

Absolutely wonderful to arrive to after long travelling from the UK, would definitely return

Pros: So clean, stylish and in a really quiet road. Friendly staff

Cons: In our room there was a plastic curtain blind for the door onto the terrace that was really loud when opened or closed, but that was it

Beautiful house, quiet street, great area, good connections

Pros: Overall, exceptional decor in a very clean, comfortable environment, with an almost classical feel, with traditional artworks and ornaments in the public areas, high ceilings and a beautiful, polished darkwood floors and staircases. Effectively, it's really a quite posh two-storey townhouse, in a quiet area. The house is situated in a broad, private street, well-located for enjoying Ari's lively streets and accessing the tube (5 mins walk) which gives good access to more central destinations. Tea, coffee etc are provided down in the limited (eg no sink) kitchen facility on the ground floor. Room cleaning was good if requested. Spacious bathroom, very comfortable bed, good sized room. We arrived extremely early after an overnight train, and we were checked-in immediately, for a five night stay.

Cons: These comments should be read in the context that, overall, The Lek Aree was an excellent base for five days in Bangkok. However, there were one or two areas that could be improved. After a couple of days our bathroom, generally very clean, started to smell a bit whiffy in that toilety/drainy way you sometimes get in public toilets. Re peace and quiet, although it's generally peaceful, anyone who's allergic to the sound of screaming children might want to consider an alternative, as the property houses some young ones who can make a lot of piercing noise in the corridors at times. The cleaning of the guests' kitchen area did not keep up with usage, the bin is too small and was overflowing with rubbish for more than a day until something was said about it, and the surfaces did not get wiped very regularly, even if the area was getting a lot of use. Hotel-type service is very minimal unless requested and reception almost never manned - it's not a hotel in the traditional sense, but something like having a serviced apartment, with staff in the building but largely invisible most of the time. Rooms are up two flights of stairs, with no lift or assistance with bag carrying, which won't suit everyone The hotel frontage is very discreet, so it can take a little while to locate once you find the street. As a suggestion, although some bottled water is provided, a water filter for guests' use would make this a more environmentally-friendly place to stay. A translation app proves useful for communicating with staff.

Pros: It’s really spacious and iconic! Staff are really lovely and helpful

Great hotel in a perfect location

Pros: Great hotel in a perfect location; 5 Minute walk from the main areas. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The bed was large and comfortable and the bathroom clean with a hot shower. There was also a large dressing area. You have access to the kitchen for tea, coffee etc. I really could not recommend it enough. Very close by is Landhaus a fabulous bakery and cafe which serves a great breakfast, also a little further on is Yellow Lane cafe again amazing food and very comfortable.

Price justifies the location. Immaculate inside.

Pros: Price great. Quality of hotel great. Location moderate. Location might seem awkward for first timers to Bangkok. But it’s a lovely area. 8 minute walk to BTS which ferries you all over where you need to go. The building is beautiful. For the price, this is a good option.

Cons: Staff very indifferent. Zero personal touch.

Pros: Loved the location and the family room was perfect for our family of 5. Wonderful house with a cozy outdoor entry.

Cons: The shower never really got hot. Our room was not cleaned with any regularity.

Cute little place in Ari.

Pros: This was a great little place tucked away from the busyness of Bangkok. Ari is a great neighbourhood full of great spots to eat. Comfortable and clean rooms, with kitchen downstairs for making breakfast in the morning.

Cons: Pillows and beds a little hard, but getting use to that in Thailand.
