lemon tree Overview
Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked into the Lemon Tree, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? This hotel completely caught me off guard in the best way possible. There’s something refreshingly unpretentious about it that I actually appreciated after staying at too many places that try way too hard. The lobby has this clean, minimalist vibe with these bright yellow accents (obviously) that somehow manage to be cheerful without being obnoxious. The staff at check-in were genuinely friendly – not that rehearsed hotel smile thing, but like they actually cared about making sure I had what I needed.
What really impressed me was how well-thought-out everything felt for a mid-range property. The rooms are compact but smartly designed – honestly, they’ve maximized every inch without making it feel cramped. The bed was surprisingly comfortable (I’m picky about mattresses), and the bathroom was modern with decent water pressure, which is more than I can say for some supposedly fancier places I’ve stayed. The Wi-Fi actually worked throughout the building, which seems basic but trust me, it’s not always a given. I loved that they had these little touches like good lighting by the desk and enough outlets near the bed – small stuff that shows they understand what travelers actually need. The housekeeping was consistent too, and I noticed they used eco-friendly products, which was a nice touch without being preachy about it.
Here’s the thing about the Lemon Tree – it knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try to be anything else. With an 8.0 rating, it’s clearly hitting the mark for a lot of people, and I can see why. It’s not trying to compete with luxury hotels, but it’s doing the fundamentals really well. The breakfast was simple but fresh (their coffee was actually decent, which made my mornings much better), and the common areas stayed clean and comfortable throughout my stay. I mean, there were a few minor things – the elevator was a bit slow during busy times, and the air conditioning took a while to kick in – but nothing that really bothered me. What I appreciated most was the value proposition here. You’re getting a solid, reliable experience without paying for a bunch of amenities you probably won’t use anyway. If you’re looking for a place that’s clean, comfortable, and well-run without any unnecessary frills, this is honestly a smart choice.
