Basel and the staff communicated consistently and clearly with me from the booking to my departure, everything was easy. The room itself was sparkling clean, the bed is VERY comfortable, and the common areas were nice. They were very accommodating and took care of everything I needed. I absolutely recommend Lemon Tree to solo travelers and people who like a straightforward experience. The location is safe and directly next to the Italian embassy. It was very walkable and I explored many restaurants and shops. Definitely try Dar Ne’meh up the street for breakfast!! The value was excellent. An extra plus: I’ve been traveling for a month from country to country and Lemon Tree has washing machines on-site - which was very helpful so that I was able to finally conveniently do a load of laundry! Keep in mind there are no elevators, but the staff was friendly and more than willing to help carry it to your room.
