lebua at State Tower

Lebua…this seriously must be my millionth visit since you opened (thanks for the macarons btw…a nice touch to be recognised)… I stay here for three main reasons… 1. Location (Jumping on the Chao Praya Express or BTS is convenient) 2. The breakfast buffet 3. Size of the rooms and view So let me review on that basis… Location… excellent as usual. Great local food in the surrounding streets. Can be a bit of a pain to get to (eg Banglampu) from from areas once the sun goes down but I know the deal! Buffet… not 5* for me this time. Still a huge selection however it took nearly 30 minutes for the Indian section to be replenished, even when there was obviously nothing in the trays and asking. That’s one of my favourite bits. I did eventually have to hover as a few dosa’s were made. I did also notice that plates were not cleared promptly and there seemed significantly less staff around than previous. Rooms… still big and spacious. This room seemed a little more refreshed than a few I’ve had in recent times (really hope they are refurbishing!) Nespresso machine worked. And a late check out was accommodated which I really appreciated. Brilliant river view! Two small issues were rectified very quickly so no problems with that. These were that I booked 2 beds and we were just getting in the lift to go up when I checked. A new room was found immediately. The second was there was no water in the room. When I rang down, it only took 5 minutes for it to arrive. Yes I’d absolutely stay here again.

We stayed as a family of four adults and four children. The three bedroom suite was of ample size with plenty of amenities. All the beds were comfortable with really nice towels in the bathrooms. Some of the decor is dated with paint flaking in the balcony. We were disappointed with a few aspects of the hotel. Staff at the club could be a little pretentious, very unlike Thai people. We had a very awkward moment on our second day at breakfast. After being shown to a table for eight, subsequently being told “already reserved”. After a heated discussion with the restaurant staff we were allowed to return to the table. Standing among other guests whilst arguing was embarrassing for all of us. I think the room was reserved for other management staff to enjoy their breakfast. Costs for drinks at the Sky bar are really expensive, well above London prices. When this is the case, they need to be perfect. Unfortunately, there aren’t. Swimming pool has toilets under refurbishment. They appear scruffy with nothing being done. Overall, after huge expectations, we were disappointed to say the least. The cost we paid and the reputation of the hotel meant it should have been much better.

Minnie, Jessica and Benz were very polite and helpful. Of course the rooms have spectacular views and excellent dining.

Very nice service and like the hotel very much.. staff is so humble and very soft spokenand the rooftop restaurant view is very nice

All staff is very good especially Benz,saii and Kartik food was very and suites very spacious and sky bar on 64 th floor was very amazing and we are staying in bangkok for the 5 time but this was best and rooms with were best view
