What guests report

View

Best: rooms with balconies overlooking the church, Basanavicius Street, and Rondžė river; worst: basement/ground-floor rooms with no natural light and views of parking garage

Bed & mattress

Beds consistently praised as comfortable and high-quality with excellent mattresses, though some reviews note squeaky beds and worn frames in older rooms

Bathroom & water

Large bathrooms with rain showerheads, hot water reliable, good water pressure, but some reports of mold on ceilings and humidity issues in basement rooms

Wi-Fi

Internet available but slow according to multiple guests; adequate for basic browsing but not reliable for streaming

Breakfast

Worth it; generous portions and varied Lithuanian menu with hot dishes, pastries, fruits, and quality coffee, but inconsistent execution and portion depletion mid-morning

AC / heating

Air conditioning works in most rooms but limited to maximum 24°C in some units; several reports of non-functioning AC units that staff struggled to repair; heating available for winter stays

Elevator

Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request a room away from Basanavicius Street to avoid late-night music and traffic noise; ask for upper floors

Book rooms in the newer building section if available; older Soviet-era rooms are dated and uncomfortable

Arrive for breakfast by 9 AM on weekends; by 9:30 AM hot dishes and bread are often depleted
