Fantastic Breakfast

The breakfast at Sweet Lemon was a highlight of my stay. Every morning, it included a good selection of fresh fruit salad, breads, eggs made to order, and an array of meats and cheeses. It felt like a true feast and was an excellent way to start my day!

I had a cozy stay at this guest house, enjoying the lovely breakfast and friendly atmosphere. The staff were welcoming, and I appreciated the nice location near Seaview Point. However, the steep walk back to the hotel could be challenging for some, and unfortunately, the pool was out of order during my visit.

The style of the rooms is modern and inviting, and the breakfast each morning was a delightful start to the day. However, there were some issues with noise in my room, and it would have been nicer to have better air circulation during warmer days.

My stay at the Sweet Lemon was delightful! The guesthouse is situated in a peaceful neighborhood, just a short walk from the beach and plenty of shops and restaurants. The room was very nice, but we faced some noise issues at night. Breakfast was fantastic, especially since I'm a fan of hearty meals, but the parking situation was a bit tricky. Overall, a charming place with some quirks, but I would recommend it as a cozy getaway.
