Parking note. Problematic — 30 EUR per day is expensive for the region, back courtyard access narrow and inconvenient, some guests advised street parking is cheaper or free elsewhere in Lithuania.

What guests report

View
Superior rooms and suites with balconies overlooking Old Town rooftops, church spires, and picturesque streets; ground-floor and rear-facing rooms have limited views of parking lots or blank walls
Bed & mattress
High-quality comfortable beds in main building rooms; however, some beds unusually narrow at 32 inches wide, and mattresses in annex/budget rooms described as hard as bricks
Bathroom & water
Heated bathroom floors praised; hot water reliable; marble tiles and elegant fixtures in deluxe rooms; however, high bathtub edges pose safety concern, and some showers have poor water pressure or drainage issues
Wi-Fi
Generally good, though one guest reported terrible wifi with frequent disconnections and inability to make audio calls
Breakfast
Extensive buffet with meats, fish, cheeses, fresh vegetables, eggs, bread, and pastries in main dining room; however, limited selection compared to premium hotels, items run out quickly mid-service, and expensive at 15 EUR when better options available nearby
AC / heating
Silent and powerful air conditioning praised by some guests; however, many report non-functional heating in winter, air conditioner providing cold air instead of warm, and poor temperature regulation
Elevator
Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request a room in the main building with Old Town views rather than annex rooms near the parking lot courtyard
Skip the breakfast and eat at nearby cafes on Pilies Street or the senamiesčio square—cheaper and better quality
Check if your room has elevator access before arrival; several annex rooms require stairs with luggage
