Lithuania hotels & accommodations
Hotel is a traditional house with some interior design. Many basic things are ready for use in the room. Kettles is also available on request. However, it’s better to provide complimentary bottles of water and also the coffee bar. Location of the hotel is good. Just 10 to 15 minutes walk from the railway station. Actually, bus route no. 88 would be a better choice if y...
Hotel need Air Conditioning . Thank you, we had very good time in your hotel. Dinner at the restaurant was excellent (Cepelinai and Kijevo kotletas 5 star).Perfect for overnight stay near airport. Jack and Tatjana Bostic
Nice hotel in the new part of the city, bus stop one way outside the hotel, never a problem to get a taxi. The staff was pleasant and spoke good english.
We stayed in the suite which in itself is nice and big large comfy sofa and bed, the bathroom had a jacuzzi bath but with only a hand held shower head. The weather was hot and had no control over the a/c, added to the fact the the windows in the room did not open made it very stifling and really uncomfortable at night. The reception staff were very friendly and helpfu...
The only thing i can complain is about bed. When i booked this hotel i demanded large single bed to sleep with my girlfriend together. Instead of this i got 2 small seperate beds... it was zero comfort to sleep like this.
Quite good really. Breakfast was excellent. They also have eggs cooked to order. In fact, it was the best breakfast I ever had in the Baltics (even the radisson in Tallinn fell short of this) and the selection was very extensive. Location-wise, it's within walking distance to the old town..that is if you don't mind walking. It wasn't an issue for me as I thoroughly...
It was a very fantastic hotel in a very strategic location. All the main tourist attractions are just within walking distance from the hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable. I was staying on the top floor so the view was quite nice from the window. Breakfast was good as well and the staff were very helpful and friendly. There was a market/convenient store just b...
Wonderful friendly service, especially at breakfast in the centuries-old cellar. The hotel building is old, but the rooms and reception area are very modern. Our "business room" was spacious and well equipped, as was the ensuite bathroom, which even had 2 vanity basins. Artagonist Hotel is on the main street of the old town, halfway between Cathedral Square and Town H...
Receptionist very friendly and helpful.Good English(although I speak Lithuanian) large comfortable rooms.Didnt eat in the hotel as meeting friends,so only breakfast
The hotel located next to the bus terminal. Local busy stops is downstairs and it’s easy to go tourist spots by bus. There is also a supermarket next to the hotel and a big shopping mall which is not far away.
We booked a standard room which was just that standard! Small, with no view Otherwise it's a decent hotel, in a fab location, an ok gym/pool/wellness area (open plan) Reasonable breakfast If taking an Uber remember which Radisson it is, as we were taken to the other one, which the driver insisted was in the Old Town, it is not
This solidly build monastery makes for an interesting hotel conversion. Guest rooms are surprisingly large. Our luxury guest room included a living room. The furniture is very modest. The bathroom has a modern tub with an easy to use shower. The included breakfast includes cereals, meats and cheeses, pastry, juices and hot beverages. The breakfast room is large a...
Stay was nice. On Arriving I have been charged one more time for room, but after 15 minutes, receptionist call me and apologies. Extra charge was returned, and I get chocolate bar as compensation :) I had bad first impression of breakfast buffet, Beacon and Baked beens was Cold, and some other small things. But after few minutes manager come up, and everything was fi...
Everything you could want from an airport hotel.
Clean and cozy hotel located at town centre. You can go any scenic spots within a few minutes walk. Free parking is a bonus to the apartment. Staff are kind and willing to help. Don’t miss the aqua park and spa in the wellness centre.
The room is very nice with refrigerator, private bathroom and everything you need. Free breakfast at the restaurant is very nice. The location is close to the train station but a bit far from the centre.
We stayed for 10 days. Our arrival and picking up of the keys was easy. The room was excellent; everything we needed was provided. It was close to the city centre and with very easy access to both restaurants and museums. The bathroom and shower were also excellent. The room lighting was good so that we could read at all times. Wifi was good; it was easy to use t...
We stayed only for one night before leaving Lithuania, HI Vilnius was a very good hotel, spacey rooms and comfortable beds. Wifi is free and the staff is very kind!
That's all!
Don't rely on the hotel restaurant for food, it is fairly poor quality. The rooms have aircon and a fridge, but neither of them worked. On the plus side, you are located on 10 mins walk to the old town, and about 15 mins to the new town.
Nothing fancy but does the job!!
Nice hotel with a good size room and bathroom. The rooms were clean and facilities worked. Note some lights are decorations not real lights. Reception staff were good and help organise some laundry to be done. Close to the old city and easy to walk around. Supermarket and restaurants near by. Good value for money.
I picked this hotel as it was close to the train and bus stations. It turned out to be close to the main sights as well as restaurants etc. It was very clean and spacious. They offer breakfast for an extra few and serve hot food including pancakes as well as a buffet. This hotel offers everything a traveller on a budget could want.
The hotel was in a good location for restaurants and bars and near shopping and the mall. It was also about a 15 minute walk to Old Town and is also a 15 minute walk from the bus and train station. The room was standard, but the hotel had a really nice gym in the basement and the breakfast was also pretty standard. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The...
Value for the money, everything is fine. If you book single room at the top floor, one minus that you'd have to crunch while trying to use the toilet (or do it sitting down). But this is not an issue at all since they have single room price at less than 50% price of a normal double. Value for money for sure.
hotel is located some distance away from the old town or the train station, but the helpful staff will kindly arrange a taxi to the airport or train station at a very reasonable price. room is big and spacious. downside is the weak wifi reception in the rooms which disconnects regularly. for the price of the stay, this hotel is highly recommended for its value.
Cheap places to stay in Lithuania
I stayed For one night only, but it was a good rest for me these days! The staff was soo helpful and nice, always around if I needed something. I will definitely recommend Downtown Hostel to friends and come back one day
staff are fine and friendly. location is too close to railway and major road which can be very noisy. not enough tea and coffee on 2nd floor.
Was a nice place although small with 3 rooms for accomodation on bunkbeds. 8, 6 and 4 beds. Roomy lockers by the bed. The key, for which you had to pay 10 euro in deposit, had a tag with 20 % off by the two next door cafés. They were both splendid. One (Green Café) focused more on the drinks, where as 101 Kepyklele focused more on the fresh sauvory filled pirugies, br...
Our booking was canceled (after overbooking) but the manager of the Pogo Hostel, did everything possible to find another place for us to stay and even gave us a lift to the new hotel. We really appreciated, it was really kind from her and for sure I would go to Pogo Hostel next time I'll be back in Vilnius... The place is so well maintained and located!
First arrived, no one is at the reception, so I couldn't get in. There was a sign stuck out at the door saying must ring the local Lithuanian number - are you kidding? I stay in hostel to save cost and you ask me to ring international number to get in? I walked to the police station not far away to ask where public telephones are, they kindly helped me ring the hotel...

Perfect location although urgent renovation needed... hotel is crying for modernization!
The staff is friendly and helpful. I stayed here for 2 night. The room is clean and have a very comfortable bed. I slept very well. Just felt at home.
Staff can't speak English, no guest kitchen, no wifi but the room is super, very comfortable and close to everything
Pros: The place is clean, love the common area and the simplistic decorations. Toilets and Bathroom are clean too. Location is near to the bus / train station. Cons: Probably the need to go to another location to pick up the keys first. Lack of signages at the key pick up location, as the hostel uses a different name there.
Very clean and beautiful. The staff are very nice. Sincerely recommend it to all
It was quite comfy and automatically check in, which means you could arrive at any times I suppose. The two beds rooms was equipped with everything you might need, even a toaster. We thought the yellow blankets were all we had so we got freezing cold but it turned out that the duvets were right underneath(which we thought were the sheets) so make sure you don’t make th...
I could communicate relatively well with the staff. Food is fantastic. Location is great as it 2 minutes walk from the nearest bank and supermarket and 20-25 minutes walk from the bigger shops in mazeikiai. They don't clean the room everyday. But the room is comfortable and spacious.
Good for families. Silent place. Please bring your own toilet paper. That one in the apartment was like cooking paper. Some things are a little broken - refrigerator, faucet. Close to shop, city. Free car parking.
It's only an one star hotel so needed to be asked to get toilet rolls, fresh towels or the room to be cleaned. But it didn't cause any problems. The upstairs rooms are super small. The rest is alright. Warm, peaceful, generally clean and friendly.
Located in the quiet side of the old town and within walking distance to everything. The room is spacious and clean. The owner/ manager is so nice he waited me until after midnight to check in as my flight arrived Vilnius late. There's also locker for you to store luggage after check out. Overall a very pleasant stay.
fantastic location. lovely, helpful owner. lovely town. just make sure to pre-organise a meeting time to check-in / meet for the keys! Use the address number to locate building - not location on map!
Receptionist very friendly and helpful.Good English(although I speak Lithuanian) large comfortable rooms.Didnt eat in the hotel as meeting friends,so only breakfast
The house itself doesn't look good but the apartment is beautiful. The place is perfect for three people, four if you have a mattress. Everything's clean and tidy but the mat in the shower was constantly wet. It was close to our party place so the location is great.
Lovely hotel, friendly owners, clean and tidy. Big restaurant next to hotel plus 20% offer for food. Perfect location and close to the airport. Definitely recommend!
Room is big and clean. The location is a centre of the city. Bus station and railway station are walking distance. There is a lithuanian restaurant inside of the hotel. Staff are helpful. I recommend this hotel.
The Pervaza Hotel is located on several bus routes (LTL 2.20 to the downtown area) and quite close to main railway station - rail line passes by the hotel but double-glazed windows make it very quiet with no train noise. Indeed, there are not many trains. Room 127 was very clean and comfortable - two single beds pushed together to make a bigger bed, with a gauzy cano...
Fresh air and little traffic noise made me sleep very well. Walking around you discover the beautiful horse farm, the 1000s of doves and fasents, 100s of deer, elks and eventually wild pigs.
The hotel is walking distance to the bus or train station and on a small lake. Very pretty and quiet location. Very friendly manager and staff...helpful and attentive. Excellent restaurant. Nice place to relax in a very beautiful part of the country.
Everything we where looking for
So close to the bus stop, super market.
We booked the room sight unseen on the internet and had expectations of a clean quiet stay. It was neither. Trucks roared past all night. The beds were clean but the rest was poor. The toilet seat was broken, shower was missing one part of the door, shower was also missing the bracket for the rose, the lid on the rubbish bin was broken away at the hinge. On checking i...

decent size apartment and great location at vilnius old town
We travelled from Vilnius and planned to go to the Hill of Crosses. Therefore we stay one night at Siauliai. The hotel is 15 mins walk from train station and 7 mins walk from bus station. The reception lady is friendly and speaks fluent English. but she doesn't know how to travel to the Hill of Crosses. We reserve a room for 4 adults. The room is clean and tidy. ...
We stayed at the Kaunas Hotel three years ago, and our positive impressions from that experience led us to stay there again on our recent visit to Kaunas. We were not disappointed. The facilities are excellent, including a good fitness center and a small pool and sauna. The restaurant has great atmosphere and a good menu. The breakfast buffet is wonderful. We were at t...
The hotel was just a few minutes walk to the train and bus station. It's also close to all the major site seeing spots. Although the room was a bit small, it has sufficient equipment for travellors. I think it was a good deal.
My stay was very pleasant and I really enjoyed the quiet and relaxing atmosphere, and the layout of the hotel with lounge chairs and couches all over with soothing music playing in the halls really helped to relax the mind and body. Also, I was very impressed with the housekeeping service - my room was made every morning by the time I came back from breakfast! And the ...
The hotel is in the heart of the city. everything was clean. Staff was very helpful and did their job just perfect
I would recommend this hotel because it's quiet, not too far from the city center (though it's at least a 10-minute walk). There's a large supermarket nearby that's open 24/7. The rooms are quite nice and the hotel is a good value for what you pay. Taking a cab to the center is pretty cheap, so the location isn't exactly too bothersome. Staff were friendly too.
This place was lovely, the food was great and the room was very unique and distinctive. I have the impression that this place has a lot of repeat business from locals, both for the restaurant and for the hotel. There is definitely the feeling of connectedness to the clientele, and a strong service philosophy ensures that the ambience of the stay is much better than w...
people are nice, showed us where to go visit, where to exchange money, where to experience the best local food, very nice
great hotel -a converted printworks from the soviet era now a smart modern hotel...nice big rooms and balcony....secure car park-fantastic buffet breakfast,the best ive had in years-reccomended
The Hotel is rated as 4 stars, it is far away from 4 stars. dinner was o.k. but..., breakfast was poor, we had to order the food in advance, the evening before, and still we did not got our order.
Very nice place, but it is noisy in the summer if you let you windows open. But it was not a problem. Very nice equipped - furniture, beds, kitchen. The owner is super.
No elevator.
it was great to stayed in alpetri apartment. owner sent us an email one day before we check in and telling us how the driving routes to get in there.she is very friendly and giving us recommendation where to eat and where to shop. the room are very clean and tidy with colorful decoration. And it was located in the city center.Shopping area and supermarket is just near ...

Highly recommend this unique place, special compliments go to the chef and waiting staff. The only complaint - hotel should seriously reconsider its guests with children swimming pool using policy times, until 15.00 its a joke, check in only starts from 15.00. It must be extended until 18.00 or at least just be flexible about it, and trust that your little guests are a...
Very pleasant stay. Clean and conforyable rooms. Room service (maids) take a lot of pride in maintaining the allocated rooms. Overall and nice hotel. The only negative for me was that rooms are not equipped with a tea/coffee making facility and had to be requested separately. However, this appears to be the case with most Lithuanian hotels.
Our booking was canceled (after overbooking) but the manager of the Pogo Hostel, did everything possible to find another place for us to stay and even gave us a lift to the new hotel. We really appreciated, it was really kind from her and for sure I would go to Pogo Hostel next time I'll be back in Vilnius... The place is so well maintained and located!

Safety is generally not a concern in Lithuania, but it’s always wise to stay vigilant, especially in crowded areas. Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings. As for health, it’s advisable to have travel insurance that covers medical emergencies. Lithuania has a good healthcare system, but it’s always better to be prepared.
Learning a few useful phrases in Lithuanian can also enhance your travel experience.
