Žalgiris Arena

Such a lovely place to stay. The room had a great view out its windows and if you just walk outside the residence you’re immediately in front of several beautiful Old Town churches. Make sure to walk across the river and see what I can only describe as Bohemia. I haven’t been to actual Bohemia (yet), but this space is indeed special. The arts are alive and well in Vilnius. The people there are hard to get to know but very warm once you find common ground. The hotel has a pool and a great courtyard to rest in. Also they have a fridge, so you can buy small groceries and keep them or have leftovers from a meal. There are snacks and drinks (good selection) at the front desk at standard prices. Loved this place. If I can, I will try and come back to it.

I think the main issue we had was the lack of heating from the radiators and the hot water not working at the time. Staff managed to find an alternative to the heating and got the hot water working. The location is very good in what’s available, but also can be noisy at night. The other thing that is that the floors have virtually no soundproof, so you can hear all steps and movements when trying to sleep. The sofabed also was a little uncomfortable. We were only there for 3 nights and only for sleeping. It’s spacious and good walking with public transport and taxis. Good value for short term stays.
