51.) We've just got back from the weekend in Pulau Perhentian. Just before going there, we spent a night in Kota Bahru as we wanted to catch the earliest ferry to the islands.I booked Mr. Lee's Guest House based on the recommendations from Trip Advisor website and I must say - they are all TRUE! Mr. Lee is very hospitable and picked us up from the airport when we arrived - he even took us for dinner at the nearby foodstalls before bringing us back.
Overall, the place is VERY CLEAN and he has 5 bedrooms - the biggest being able to acommodate 6 people comfortably (that's our room - with an attached bathroom). TV and cable channels (i.e. astro) is provided in the hall, together with high-speed internet access! The whole house is Wi-Fi enabled, and you can use his computers if you do not have one of your own.
I highly recommend this place and will definitely go back there again if I happen to be back in Kota Bahru.Written by the Trip Advisor guest,Pckgan,from Malaysia dated 2nd April 2008.Please check the following link:-

Mr. Lee went far, far out of his way to accommodate our needs, at all hours, including finding dinner for us, taking us out in a storm to get some things for the kids, walking us thru the airport ensuring that we found our way, handling any other questions or concerns. This attention is hard to beat, even in service-oriented Asia. We were so impressed" Shanghaidean ,Shanghai ,October 2005 written by Trip Advisor member.Please check the following link:-

10.) We're really fascinated by Mr. Lee kindness and hospitality. He's very helpful and he is curious about your future plans just to know how he could be helpful. He arranged not only our transfer to Kuala Besut but also a boat transfer to Perhentians and even a boat transfer from Perhentians to Redang in 5 days. He told us about the weather forecast, about how to arrange our money matters before leaving to islands and much more information.
Rooms are very, very clean and Mr. Lee thinks about all: our breakfast was unexpected but very nice.

14.) Staying in Lee's Guesthouse in Kota Bharu has been wonderful experience for my family. The house would have to be cleanest and most spacious guesthouse/hostel in Asia.( or in fact in the world.) Mr.Lee has been a wonderful host,very generous and kind to give us so much time showing us around and the breakfast was excellent.We will stay here again and I have no doubt I will recommend Lee's Guesthouse to all our friends in Australia.

( No extra charge for childcare either). In these times where great service is a rarity, we commend Mr.Lee for his dedication to his guests.

60.) We stayed one night at Lee Guest House (booked via email: leeguest@gmail.com) for 65 MYR for the night for a room with shared bathroom. The room was very basic and clean. There was a fan on the ceiling and an air conditioner that both worked well. The home is located a bit out of town in a residential area outside of the city but the owner will drop you off in the center of town. Mr. Lee was very friendly and seemed to really want his guests to have a nice stay. There is a satellite TV on the main floor and a couple of computers with free internet access as well.

61.) Mr Lee was very hospitable and accomodating. He met us at Wakaf Bharu station after a long overnight from KL drove us to his place and agreed that he would ferry us into town later on. His place is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Rooms have fan and AC. He drove us back from Kota Bharu that evening after we'd seen the puppet show and then arranged for a taxi to take us to Kuala Besut. The only downside is if you plan to spend the day looking round Kota Bharu - which is pretty bum (disappointing experience at the food market) - as his place is out of town and therefore a taxi ride away, so you can't just crash for an hour or two to kill time. Other than that good value stop off before hitting the islands.Written by Trip Advisor guest ,Jkcninja from London dated 25th June 2008.Please check the following link:-
62.) A refreshing change to the basic standard of many other hostels. Mr Lee runs a very clean modern hostel with all 'Western' facilities and proper hot showers that don't just dribble out!

There was four of us and we booked a suite, which had 3 double beds, private bathroom, fan and air conditioning. the guesthouse was very clean. mr lee was so helpful after he took us out for dinner when we arrived and picked us up again. the next day he took us to a number of places e.g took us to see how to make silk and how to make silver etc. we really enjoyd our day. He then helped us with our washing, booked us boat tickets and took us to pick up a meal as there was a storm. Every morning he provided us with breakfast which was whatever we wanted.

70.) Mr Lee was very helpful. He even went to pick us up at the bus station, and also took us by car to eat typical food from Kota Bharu. The guest house is very clean and nice, in a quiet area.

72.) Mr Lee was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. I think I stayed there latein the season so I was the only guest. I was travelling alone and felt completely safe here. Also Mr Lee picked me up from the airport and took me to the ferry making sure everything was sorted for me. I would definitely recommend this for people who are looking for somewhere to stay although not if they are looking for somewhere to party.

74.) We stayed here one night on our way to Perhentians and were the only guests. As Mr. Lee is a fantastic host, it feels more like hospitality club or couch surfing. He gave us a ride to the center (necessary because it is not nearby), treated us with dessert and let us use internet and dvd's for free.

78.) Nice clean guesthouse with large spacious rooms. Mr Lee is also incredibly helpful and friendly. The only downside is the location as it is about 10 minutes outside of central Kota Bahru. However, Mr Lee is quite happy to drive you back and forwards so its not too much of a problem. Really like this place and would come back. writen by hostelworld guest: Lee Garrett dated 25th february 2009.

89.) Although a little out of the centre of town Mr Lee was extremely helpful in dropping off and picking up so this is not an issue. You would be hard pressed to find a more helpful person and Mr Lee went out of his way to help sort out an ongoing travel issue for us. Very happy to recommend.

90.) We stayed one night at Lee guesthouse. The room was clean and quite comfortable. Lee was very friendly and helped us to arrange a visit to the Tumpat Thai temples. Then, the day after he arranged a taxi to Kuala Besut for us. We paid RM40 for the airport pick up, maybe a little bit more expensive than a taxi but he then gave us a lift to downtown and picked us up again at night. He even gave us a SIM card to call him in order to arrange the pick up at night! I'd recommend this hostel! Written by hostelworld guest :Francisco Javier Ceamanos Garcia dated 17th july 2009

99.) We stopped here twice, before the perenthian islands and after. Mr Lee is very very helpful, got us boat ticket, booked taxi to the islands. When we returned he dropped us at the bus station to go to Kuala Perlis to find the bus was full, drove us to the next bus station, found us a bus ticket for the evening after and took us back to the guesthouse. Would have had difficulties without his assistance. Good place to use as base before or after your island visit! Written by hostelworld guest : Richard Mees DATED 16th august 2009.

101.) Mr Lees Guesthouse was a perfect place to stay overnight before transferring to the perhintians, very comfortable and clean it really was like staying in someones home and very easy to 'make yourself at home'. Mr Lee was very hospitable with any information required. the location is a little out of town but he was only too happy to drive me to the local mall and collect me when I was done. Highly reccommended! Written by hostelworld guest : Kristy Whittle dated 1st september 2009.

102.) Mr. Lee was one of the most helpful person we ran into on our travels. Place was comfortable and clean. Lots of breakfast and not just toast and jam. I would definately recommend it to other travelers. It is just a bit far away from the city but has many food stalls around. We also ran into troubles with our supposed pre-arranged transportation. Thankfully Mr. Lee worked everything out for us (and I believe gave some people s**t) and we were able to carry on. Thanks Mr. Lee for all the help.Written by hostelbookers guest :Stephen Herzog dated 2nd september 2009.

104.) Mr Lee is very kind and helpful and punctual - he will pick you up at the airport, drop off and pick up in Kota Bharu, organise transport and tickets to the Perhentians etc.; his guesthouse is a little out of town, but this is no hindrance at all. We recommend anyone to stay at Lee's Guesthouse. Written by hostelbooker guest :Hettie Enderes dated 1st october 2009.
