“This spot strikes me as a solid choice for exploring Kaunas; its location offers easy access to both the old and new towns. The historical design definitely gives it a unique feel, though I've read some guests faced minor inconveniences; still, the inclusive offerings like catering and the spa add appeal. It's a worthwhile consideration for your stay.”

Solid Stay

The breakfast had a good selection. Freshly squeezed juice was available. The location was excellent, about ten minutes walking distance to the town hall. Free parking was available on site. Spaces are first come, first served.

The hotel needs some updates. The room felt a little dated. The shower setup had a curtain, and it didn't feel very hygienic. I think the shower curtains need to be replaced more often.
