Very close to the train station and to the beach. Clean, modern and surprisingly big room for a hotel in France. I liked that the room had 2 balconies and the garden was pretty. Excellent value for money. I would stay again here.

I really wanted this to be a good stay. Nice old type of hotel and the staff was really nice and helpful. However, we got dirty sheets, which they replaced after us telling them (good), but dirty sheets should never go into a visitors bed right? And we are sure that the stains were there before we came. Further more, there was no AC, so we had to sleep with open windows, perhaps that’s acceptable at this price range BUT, we got waken by motor bikes and cars that went past very loudly during the night. So we had two really bad nights sleeping. The staff was really nice so I really don’t want to put this place down, but sorry, it was quite bad.
Hotel Lemon is about a 5 minute walk from the Promenade du Soleil and about 20 minutes from Menton old town. I suspect the hotel is in the middle of being renovated, and amenities are pretty basic as it stands. That said, bed was reasonably comfy, and staff were friendly and helpful.
Bathroom in our room wasn't up to standard - it had a constant smell of sewage, and the towels were basically the same as the bathmats! This didn't make for a particularly pleasant experience each morning when you opened the bathroom door and got a waft of sewer smell.
If you're looking for a place to put down your head and not much else then this is probably fine for you, just don't expect luxury.
We stayed at the hotel 4 nights. The hotel has a nice garden, and the rooms were clean.The Hotel has a good location close to the beach and city center. However, that comes at the cost of a lot of noise from the cars and motor bike driving past the hotel. Earplugs are key if you want to get a good night of sleep. Also there is no Aircondition so the rooms get fairly hotel during summer
We have an apartment close by and have had many friend stay at the Hotel Lemon during the past 3 years. Always our friends praise the hotel for it informality, very reasonable price and location. This is not a 5 start hotel but neither is the price per night. This an excellent value for money hotel doing what is claims --and well. ( and we know several hotels in Menton since we bought our apartment here 19 years ago. It offers precisely what our friends want-- a good clean room only to sleep in with en-suite , TV and friendly staff at a good price . Noticeably, Hotel Lemon only slightly raises its prices during the Monaco GP week unlike other hotels in the region. -
Off to the Monaco Historic GP again, and as usual opted to stay in Menton and use the train to/from Monaco. Looked for a cheap hotel, close to the station (aged father who can't walk far) for a reasonable price. Hotel Lemon fitted the bill perfectly, so booked up.
Arrived on the train, and it took some logic to find the hotel. It's on a road parallel to the railway line, but not obvious how to get to the road. TIP: come out of station, turn hard right and down the steep stairs, head west and it's on the left hand side.
Room was basic, but bed was comfortable and shower hot. No noise from the railway line, the road outside was louder, so concerns of rail disturbance disappeared.
Breakfast is only served from 08:00, cost €9, but we wanted earlier and there wasn't too much flex so missed out. Did try it one day (could leave mention due to French Rail Strike) and it was usual continental breakfast and coffee excellent.
Overall a very nice hotel to base ourselves from, plenty of local restaurants to eat, all within short walking from Hotel. I would stay there again on my next trip based in Menton
