40 month(s) with no reviews — possible closure/renovation gaps (shaded on the chart).
What the trend suggests
Possible renovation2021-01 – 2021-1285% confidence
A major 15-month gap (2019-10 to 2020-12, COVID-era) ends with resumption at 2021-01 (5★, 1 review). Post-gap average 2021 Q1–Q4 stabilizes around 4.4–4.5, and review snippets from 2021-Q2 onwards consistently mention 'renovation', 'newly refurbished', and 'after renovation' with overwhelmingly positive sentiment (numerous 5★ praising updated interiors, modern design, and preserved authenticity). This pattern is consistent with hotel closure for renovation during COVID and reopening with enthusiastic guest reception.
Possible recovery2017-04 – 2018-0472% confidence
A minor dip occurs 2017-04 to 2017-06 (ratings 3.0–3.8, n=3–5 each month), followed by sustained recovery through 2017-07 to 2018-04 (ratings 4.0–5.0, n=1–12). Although the gap is not in the 'significant gaps' list, the pattern shows clear upward momentum after a 3-month trough, suggesting operational improvements or seasonal stabilization. The recovery is robust enough to warrant confidence 0.72.
Issue resolved2017-01 – 2026-0878% confidence
Service speed and attentiveness complaints are prominent in 2017–2022 snippets (e.g., 2017-Q3: '55min waiting', 2022-Q1: '40 mins for order', 2022-Q4: 'ignored for 20 minutes'), but become rare and isolated after 2023. Recent 2025–2026 reviews (Q1–Q3) consistently praise staff as 'friendly', 'attentive', 'exceptional', and 'caring', with no significant complaints about wait times. This suggests sustained operational/staffing improvements post-2023.

Members see the full detail. Ask for an introduction
Local knowledge
Request a back-facing room away from Gediminas Avenue to avoid street noise and enjoy quiet sleep
Bring your own coffee or arrive early for breakfast, as the automatic coffee machines are frequently criticized and often have queues
Avoid the rooftop bar on weekend evenings if you want an early sleep—parties can generate noise that carries throughout the building
If you have a medical condition or need late checkout, call ahead directly to the manager rather than relying on standard reception policies
Book the restaurant in advance (call +37067815569), especially for weekends, as it fills up quickly and service slows when busy
Verify taxi fares with reception before booking—quoted prices (€8-15) have often been higher (€20-25) than actual charges by drivers
Try the Kiev cutlet and Lithuanian white curd cheese at the restaurant, but skip expensive imported wines and stick to local beverages
Pack a light room temperature monitor—some guests report difficulty controlling AC from the room; manual adjustment or front desk intervention may be needed
