Lonely Planet
"Popular with return visitors, who come back for the central location and good-value breakfast... Ask for a quieter room away from the street."
DK Eyewitness
"Affordable with a few classy touches, the Lek Hotel is comfortable, spacious, and clean. The rooms themselves are rather small and basic... Only a few steps from Hat Pattaya and its shops."
