For quite some time now my hotel
search criteria ignores how many stars the hotel has been rated by some rating
bodies ; instead I look for unique home away from home with great reviews from travelers.
On my recent trip to Bangkok, I went as
far as to book a hotel with no reviews as they have just been opened for a few
months but it looks great and had a great story.
The LemonTea Hotel situated in the
heart of shopping district Pratunam caught my eye with its uniquely decorated
rooms and lobby. It was reasonably priced which meant I could spent more on
shopping, that’s a win- win!
Upon arrival, we were greeted with a
welcome drink and the friendliest and helpful crew who made our stay really
homey. I was tasked by my mom to buy a kind of crab bean paste and the crew rang
the manufacturer to hunt it down for me; how sweet!
The location of the hotel used to be
a dilapidated bungalow plot of land which they demolished and built the
LemonTea Hotel from ground up. Every room had simple but unique décor that
exudes comfort and coziness. It is equipped for individuals looking for long
stay as it comes with coin-operated laundry room and your own letterbox. You
can totally imagine a writer staying here in the back streets of the bustling
shopping district conjuring up his next great piece of work while occasionally
stepping out unto the busy streets for inspiration.
Although we visited other great 5
star hotels in the posh district, I will still choose Lemontea should I return
to Bangkok. It’s down to earth and personal approach to travelers has captured
my heart.
