Parking note. Adequate — Free parking available both front and rear courtyard, but spaces are limited and guests frequently report difficulty finding spots during peak season.

What guests report

View
Rear courtyard rooms quieter and more peaceful; front rooms face noisy cobblestone street with early morning traffic and smokers
Bed & mattress
Mattresses are uniformly soft and comfortable for most guests, though some prefer firmer support; avoid attic rooms with two single beds jammed into single frame creating uncomfortable gaps
Bathroom & water
Spacious showers with strong water pressure and hot water reliable; lacks flexible shower hose and modern fixtures; toilet paper dispenser system is inconvenient
Wi-Fi
Free and generally reliable throughout property with good speed
Breakfast
Abundant buffet with excellent quality hot dishes, fresh pastries, Lithuanian specialties, multiple coffee options, and generous variety—widely praised as exceptional value and superior to many 4-star hotels
AC / heating
No air conditioning system; portable fans available upon request; rooms become dangerously hot (30°C+) during summer months

Local knowledge

Request a rear-facing room overlooking the courtyard to avoid cobblestone street noise from early morning traffic
Bring your own kettle or request one upon arrival—complementary kettles not always standard in rooms despite water bottles provided
Book non-smoking rooms for more spacious attic accommodations; smoking rooms under the roof are noticeably smaller and cramped
