lebua staff were gracious and accommodating, including welcoming us early due to our morning flight, and especially when we had to add a guest for one night despite this not being allowed in our room type. The hotel has a variety of amenities, including its famous rooftop bars and a fabulous breakfast room by the swimming pool. The neighborhood is active and has many small restaurants and street vendors - it's not upscale, though, so there's a definite street level difference between the hotel lobby and the outside world, but this is typical of much of Bangkok. Access to the river ferries is reasonably close, but not many subway lines serve the hotel. Taxi or ride hail services, or walking, are better options. It's an easy walk to the creative district to the north, and along Silom Road to Mahanakhon tower to the east. The hotel is a pleasant respite from the energy of the city.
