Hotels Near Kazys Varnelis House-Museum in Vilnius

The hotel is a short walk from the old town. The street it is on is quiet and I felt safe walking there, even at night. After 8pm there are no staff on site but there is a keypad with code for security at the door. The reception staff were very efficient and friendly. Rooms are bit dated but extremely clean and had everything I needed, including a fridge and hairdryer in the room. For the price it is extremely good value. Unfortunately I didn’t eat breakfast in the hotel but it smelt very good and was included in the room rate. I would definitely stay here again as it was a good budget friendly option.

We were on the 5th floor with great vistas of the city. Our room was warm and comfy and we enjoyed 2 nights there. We ate one evening in the restaurant and the food was very nice but it was a bit pricey so definitely cheaper to eat in town. It was very handy for breakfasts just being situated across from a world famous fast food outlet where we went each morning. The hotel was well situated for walking trips into the city which we did each day.

I really liked the hostel, room smelled very nice, and was decorated with love. Realy appreciated the welcoming letter ♥️ 🌲Very atmospheric garden and love that you can grill there. 🌲Very good morning coffe. I love the rustic hippy / Pipi Langstrumpf style! 🔥Easygoing and chill. Now the bad parts: Sorry but i hate the toilet situation there.🙈💩 Often times there was no soap (yes i kindly asked staff to refill, but next day same thing). You have to put used toilet paper in a bin (without a lid) 🙈 Very weak flushing. The ventilation was not strong enough so the air felt damp. I had to gag several times and felt like puking sorry. Also if you have an opnenbin with used toilet paper, of course it will be dampy and eww. A lot of people used the bathrooms, so i had to run up and down but no empty one in mornings. There are no pissoirs, so it frequently happened that nasty men peed standing, causing pee splatters everywhere.(mostly night time) I simply could not poop my whole stay, had to go over to the newly build 'fancy' food hall, which had nice toilets. With good flushing. Good pooping there👌 Would stay there again if i had a room with private toilet.

So I have not even seen my room yet because I have arrived early, but I think I can give my assessment. I ordered an airport transfer with the hotel and was quoted a set price of €20. I can’t tell you how much drama agreeing to this airport transfer caused. As they said, the driver was waiting for me in the hall with my name. But when I got in the car he informed me that there was no set price and that it would be on a meter. So I called the hotel and they assured me that it should’ve been a set price. They were going to call the company to straighten it out. But by the time I arrived at the hotel, I hadn’t heard any information. I ended up just paying him. Now on the metered fair, it came out to €28 instead of €20. It’s not that the money was so crazy. But just as a comparison, if I had ordered an Uber, I would’ve paid €10. What I didn’t like is that the hotel did not do anything to compensate for this discrepancy. Instead they told me that as of that morning, there was a new set price of €27. Which cannot possibly be true because the driver did not tell me there was a set price of €27, he put it on a meter and it so happened that it came out to €27. Above all, I think people want to feel that they are dealing with an honest hotel. And here, I can already say that this does not appear to be an honest hotel. Even if something had happened to the price, as a courtesy they could’ve offered me a free cup of coffee and I would’ve let it go. The only reason I have given it two stars is that the price of the hotel is cheap. I am hoping that the room is at least decent. If it is not, then I would give the place zero stars and will be downgrading this review even more.

This is a very nice hotel. The reception staff are extremely helpful (thanks!), my room was very nice, comfortable mattress (and I’m fussy), excellent breakfast, including non-dairy items (thanks again!). The hotel is a short walk to the bus station, or two blocks from a bus 3g bus stop going to the airport (short ride). The hotel is not right in Old Town, but is a very short walk, which for me seemed perfect. Finally, the lobby furniture is really nice, much better than the usual.

The location is right at the heart of the city center and all attractions are within walking distance. The bed is one of the best I have ever slept in with memory foam. However the design and the layout of the bedroom and bathroom needs improvement as the shower and bathtub are separate units, looks weird and small and narrow. Old railing/shelf needs to be removed in the shower area as I keep hitting it. Wifi connection is good. Breakfast food is standard nothing outstanding. There are not much selection of fruits and using spoon to scoop the muesli is quite silly. I would expect to see omelets there but were not catered there for a 5 stars hotel like Novotel. Overall the stay was comfortable just missed out the usual Novotel hospitality I have expected.

The hotel and room itself were nice, modern, clean, comfortable and warm. Breakfast was good and the staff were polite and helpful. We liked the breakfast porridge very much and found the food was fresh and tasty. Some fresh fruit would be a nice addition. The hotel is much further from the centre than you would think. our Booking website listed the hotel as a 15 min walk from the centre, but it was 25-30 from the areas you are most likely to visit and there are hills, so go prepared for this or take Uber/Bolt cars which are very cheap. (We would consider ourselves fast walkers) IGNORE THE 'HISTORIC CENTRE' DIRECTION SIGN POST OUTSIDE THE MAIN ENTRANCE which has been put up the wrong way and directs unsuspecting tourists in the opposite direction to where they want to go. Nobody warned us about this initially. This won't affect most visitors, but during our stay the hotel hosted a darts tournament, which I am sure brings them good custom. However, not all of the people attending this event were very considerate of other guests staying at the hotel and it did affect our experience for the one weekend we stayed. Some drunk guests from the darts teams were running and shouting up and down our corridor (third floor) from midnight until around 5am, banging on doors, shouting and laughing loudly. This made it very difficult to sleep. In the morning the breakfast room was overwhelmed and dishes were emptied by the darts players soon after they were put out. I put my orange juice, cutlery and glasses on a table one morning and went to grab my breakfast and when I returned one of the darts players was busy moving my things to the side so that they could take my seat. It kind of made me feel like a second priority guest. There were lots of darts tournament attendees heavy drinking at the hotel bar (which is in the main reception) at all hours of the day and due to the hard, modern decor, this made the communal areas very noisy.

The location is convenient, but only one door is open for visitors, that is, you need to order a taxi clearly to it in advance, otherwise go on foot. Incredibly fast registration at the reception, very nice girls working. The breakfast is varied, but if something is over, they are in no hurry to spread it. Personally, I never waited for fruit for 40 minutes of breakfast. There is a room for luggage, it is locked with a key, you can easily leave things while walking around the city.

The room is large and the view is very good, you can look out into the old town. There is parking space; breakfast is varied, rich in nutrition, and very local characteristics, very perfect stay.

Perhaps one of the best spots to live if you're on a business plus leisure trip. It's just opposite the White Bridge and you can reach Old Town in just 18 min walk. A mall is just next door if you forget any essentials. The rooms are cozy and the food is amazing, just that they charge a lot for room service. The lobby and Skybar are the differentiators. Darius at the front desk is very helpful and the hot food breakfast chef is great!
