Guesthouse Review: Lee Chieng Lee, Bangkok – Thailand

April 1, 2019 By James Clark

Guesthouse Review: Lee Chieng Lee, Bangkok - Thailand

Hotel Name: Lee Chieng Lee
Address: 1137 Songward Road, Sampantawong, Bangkok Riverside, Bangkok, Thailand.

I stayed at the Leechienglee guesthouse in Bangkok. I booked it online and picked it for its location in the vicinity of the Chinatown area. I got a single room with a private bathroom for $13.17 USD, which is a great deal for a private room in Bangkok these days.

The guesthouse is about 10 minutes walk from Hua Lamphong MRT and train station. This is one of my recommended areas to stay in Bangkok.

The guesthouse is in the old city area near the river and in a residential street.

I checked in with the friendly owner and proceeded to my room.

Reception

The guesthouse is probably better described as a homestay as there are only a few rooms here.

I had a single room in the middle of the building so there was no window. The room was clean and felt new, and the bed was comfortable. The room also had air conditioning.

Leechienglee bed

There was just enough space by the side of the bed to place my bags, and an open cupboard to store other items.

The bathroom was clean and orderly with a good hot water system.

There is free wifi at the guesthouse, and I had a good connection during my stay. There is no breakfast service here.

Overall this was a good place to stay if you are looking for a budget room within walking distance of Chinatown. Book the Leechienglee online or search for more Bangkok hotels.
