The Property — Friendz inn
The Friendz inn is a straightforward 3-star business hotel in Gurugram's busy Udyog Vihar area, aimed squarely at corporate travellers who need a clean, functional room close to office parks and the metro. The lobby has basic modern furniture, a small front desk with polite staff, and a faint smell of disinfectant — no frills, no pretence. Its USP is location and reliability rather than charm. Suits anyone on a work trip who values a quick commute and predictable comfort over atmosphere.
Chronicles of Gurugram
Gurugram was a sleepy farming village called Gurgaon until the 1990s, when economic liberalisation turned it into India's back-office and IT hub. Post-2000, global firms like Google and American Express built glass towers on former wheat fields, and luxury malls replaced village squares. Architecturally it’s a chaotic mash-up of steel-and-glass skyscrapers, unfinished flyovers, and pockets of old havelis. Culturally, Gurugram is now a young, car-centric city of commuters where Punjabi weddings meet startup happy hours.
Best Time to Visit
Full Gurugram guide →Best months
October to March. Cool, dry weather (15–25°C) suits both outdoor meetings and visits to nearby Sultanpur National Park. Roads are manageable and pollution is lower than in summer.
Peak / festival surge
Peak is December–January, when corporate conferences fill hotels and the city hosts the annual Surajkund Mela (early Feb) nearby. Room rates at Friendz inn can jump 40–60% above off-season levels.
Budget shoulder season
April and September are good budget months. April heats up but before monsoon humidity; September has reduced post-monsoon crowds and intermittent rain keeps prices 20–30% lower than winter.
Weather & packing
July is monsoon season: high humidity (~80%), daily downpours, and temperatures around 28–35°C. Pack a compact umbrella, waterproof shoes, and quick-dry clothing — cotton soaks through fast.
Live City Briefing — Gurugram
- The Delhi–Gurugram expressway widening project is ongoing near Udyog Vihar; expect delays during peak hours (8–10am, 6–8pm). Use the metro's Rapid Metro Line from Sikandarpur (5 min walk) to bypass traffic.
- Several new food courts opened at Cyber Hub (3 km away) last quarter, including South Indian and Korean options — better than the hotel restaurant for a quick dinner.
- Monsoon season increases mosquito activity; carry repellent as cases of dengue have been reported in the city this July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Friendz inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 2-4, facing away from the main road (towards the back of the property). These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level bustle but still use the lift reliably, and the rear orientation cuts street noise. If the back side has a courtyard or residential view, that's your best bet.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the ground floor (noise from the lobby, restaurant, and street drift in) and any room directly facing the main road at the front—especially on floors 1-2, where traffic from Gurugram’s feeder roads is loudest. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft; the lift serves all floors, so it can rattle at odd hours.
Best views
The best view is from a rear-facing room on floors 3-4, overlooking the residential area (likely other low-rise blocks or a quiet lane) rather than the main road. Expect a working Gurugram suburb scene, not a landmark. No special vista, but calmness is the win.
Quietest floors
Floors 2-4 are the quietest, provided you avoid the front-facing side. These are high enough to escape ground-level clatter but below the roof (where HVAC units and water tanks can hum), and they don't suffer from the lift's mechanical noise as badly as floor 1 or floor 5.
🔊 Noise notes
Gurugram streets are notoriously busy: expect honking, autorickshaw engines, and occasional temple or construction noise (common in this high-growth suburb). The hotel’s entrance is on a feeder road, so morning/evening rush hour is the peak. Also, if the hotel has a rooftop lounge or water tank, it may hum on floor 5.
Insider tips
1) If you're driving, park at the rear—it’s often less crowded and quieter than the front lot. Ask at check-in. 2) Request a room on floor 3 rear-side at booking; confirm 48 hours before arrival. At a 3-star in Gurugram, early requests work better than walk-in changes.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Rapid Metro (single ride ~15-30 INR) plus feeder buses; from airport, take the Delhi Airport Metro Express to IFFCO Chowk (under 100 INR) then a cheap e-rickshaw.
Use metro and shared auto-rickshaws instead of Uber/Ola for short trips; eat at food courts or dhabas rather than malls; avoid buying water at tourist spots — use refillable bottles and free water at malls.

Gurugram Railway Station (Gurgaon) → Lemon Tree Hotel
💡 Negotiate before you sit. ₹100 for a private auto is fair – they’ll start at ₹200. For shared auto (₹20 per head), walk to the main road near the station.
IFFCO Chowk Metro Station Bus Stop → Lemon Tree Hotel (near Sikanderpur)
💡 Ask the conductor to drop you at ‘Sikanderpur Mor’. The bus stops 50m from the hotel entrance – easier than the crowded metro station walk.
Sikanderpur Rapid Metro Station (Yellow Line interchange) → DLF Phase 2 Rapid Metro Station (nearest to Lemon Tree)
💡 The hotel is 800m walk from DLF Phase 2 station – but the path is unlit after dark. Use the rickshaw waiting outside (₹30) instead. Buy a token; don’t bother with a smart card for one ride.
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) → Lemon Tree Hotel, Gurugram (DLF Phase 2)
💡 Book UberGO or Ola Micro from airport arrivals. Avoid prepaid taxi counters – they charge double. For early morning flights, pre-schedule a ride at midnight to lock in base fare.
