Lemon Tree Hotel Ahmedabad is the mid-range sibling in the same family as the Premier property, and it offers the same cheerful style at a lower price. Rooms are compact but modern, public spaces are bright, and the staff are known for being welcoming and efficient. It is a good choice for travellers who want a clean, comfortable base without extras that they will not use, and it appeals to families, solo travellers and small groups. The restaurant serves Indian and continental dishes with a strong vegetarian presence, and breakfast covers both Gujarati and Western tastes. Because the hotel is in the modern western part of the city, it is better for travellers who plan day trips and dining out than for those who want to step straight into the old lanes.
Location and getting around
Allow about thirty minutes to the walled city and the airport in normal traffic, with longer at peak times. Cabs and rickshaws are easy to find, and several malls and restaurants are nearby. The hotel can arrange a car and driver for day trips to Adalaj, Patan, Modhera or the Rann, which is often cheaper than booking each separately. Check the exact address on your booking to confirm distances.
Rooms and who it suits
Rooms are neat, air conditioned and practical, with a desk, a kettle and a modern bathroom. They suit budget-conscious couples, families and groups of friends. Light sleepers should ask for a room away from the street, and anyone needing more space should look at larger room types or connecting rooms. A simple breakfast buffet usually includes thepla, poha and fruit, a good foundation before a day of sightseeing.
Good to know
This is a dependable, no-frills hotel, so do not expect extensive spa or leisure facilities. Gujarat is a dry state, so alcohol is not served. During the winter wedding season and big events, rooms sell out, so book ahead. If you are on a long trip, a few nights here can offset the cost of a splurge elsewhere, such as a haveli stay in the old city.
Eating and nearby
The surrounding area has malls, cafes and restaurants, and the hotel staff are happy to recommend local favourites, from vegetarian thali houses to busy snack stalls. The restaurant downstairs is useful for a simple dinner after a long excursion. Because the hotel is a value choice, many travellers spend the savings on guided tours, a heritage dinner or a night in a haveli, which makes for a well-balanced trip without stretching the budget. Reception can also help with printing tickets, arranging laundry and booking restaurants.
