We slept at Lee Guesthouse one night in our way to Perhentians.
The house is quiet, pleasant, clean and good price. And Mr. Lee made our way to the island run very smoothly by providing us with his transport services.
I don't know wether the location is convenient for someone visiting Kota Barhu.

Mr Lee was just great, he met us at the train station as promised - wow! He was very kind and took us into town so we could get some dinner and then kindly picked us up again afterwards. He organised us a taxi in the morning to take us to the Thai boarder.

He was very friendly and spoke good English. He laid on breakfast too!

It's a shame we could only stay one night - I thoroughly recommend his guesthouse.

After reading all the other reviews, mentioning Mr. Lee by name so many times, we could hardly believe this guy was real! Having met him we now know he is real. Not superhuman, just a really friendly, kind, intelligent guy. His guesthouse is in a suburban residential area, maybe 5km from town centre but Mr. Lee happily drove us downtown and picked us up a few hours later. His place is homey, quiet, and comfortable. We had an A/C room with two single beds and a shared bathroom for RM80 including a breakfast of toast, spreads, cereal, coffee, tea, yogurt drinks, and juice. The only down side for us is that he allowed smoking in the common TV area - probably because he likes to accommodate everyone.

Mr Lee went out of his way to look after us and to provide us with transport to and from town as it is a bit out of the city. There are good food stalls within a few minutes walk and the biggest and cleanest mega supermarket we have ever seen.

We had an air con family room though there were only two fo us and free wifi and self service breakfast. Mr Lee also arranged our transport to Kuala Besut and the van picked us up from the guest house.
