Really nice and clean modern hotel in the new part of Vilnius. A short walk (approx 20 mins) from the Old Town but a great place to set your base to explore or as for me a business trip!
I'm giving the hotel 4 stars because the location is great if you're on a short layover, otherwise it only rates 3 stars. There's a lot of construction going on, so maybe in the future the hotel will rate 4 or even 5 stars. It's quite old and outdated, which is not a bad thing, but the bed was small, the room was too hot even though a small fan was provided and the shower was very small. The bathroom seemed clean, but the rest of the room was a bit sketchy. The included breakfast buffet was very good and service was friendly. It's just a few minutes walk to the arrivals area of the airport.
The Ibis Centrum is located approximately 12 minutes walk from the old town over the river into the new quarter. It is on the opposite side of the city to the train and bus station. My advice would be either to get a cab (25 euros!!), Uber or bus to the hotel. The airport bus also has a stop close by. Check-in was quick, friendly and professional. My mobility assist room was located on the 4th floor. Their are two lifts and both were working. The room was large, light, modern and airy with standard ibis decor and fittings. A flat screen tv, hanging space, writing desk and air con, the double bed (2 x singles together) was extremely firm - too firm for me personally but others might prefer a hard bed. The shower room was extremely large and spotless clean. My only wish is that ibis provide a shelf in the shower area to put your shower paraphernalia on. Not easy having to constantly bend to the floor to pick up shampoo etc. On the ground floor of the hotel next to reception is a lounge area, children’s play area, bar and breakfast room (ibis kitchen). Breakfast is the standard ibis Fayre of hot and cold food. The croissants were particularly large and very good! I did use the ibis kitchen for a casual dinner. The pasta dish was fine. I would have liked more choice though. Note that the hotel does have an underground car park, and accepts well behaved dogs (supplement). Despite the poor wet weather? I enjoyed my stay at the ibis centrum. On a final note their was one particular member of staff I would like to commend. A blonde haired lady (sorry I did not get her name) who worked the ibis kitchen and bar was extremely helpful towards me. She offered to carry my breakfast tray (I use a walking stick) , and when ordering drinks (pot of tea for 2 euros is a bargain) she brought them personally to my table. She is a credit to the hotel. Thank you
The hotel is generally good, but there is a very big minus. - there is no parking space for the bus. Therefore, for large groups traveling by bus, I do not recommend this hotel. the security guard is not polite, he started yelling at the bus driver at the stage of unloading the luggage., let alone the fact that the driver said that he would spend the night in this hotel. He said ----- Get your bus out of here and I don't care where you park. The driver worked a lot during the day and we arrived late already in the dark, unfamiliar city, he had to look for parking before he could go to rest. That is why large groups traveling by bus from city to city from country to country, I do not recommend this hotel.
ゲゲストLocated in a good place, near shops, not far from railway/bus station. Tv, hairdryer, kettle, cups, glasses. No wardrobe. We were staying on the last floor with view to inside ground, but still was noisy even with closed window. Still not bad for the price with free parking
I feel that hospitality has always been an issue in Lithuania... But Astorija is an exception... Well train and top rate hospitality... Worth every penny spent... I live in Vilnius but I stay in astorija for the pampering comfort and great service...
NNzubechukwu OnyiwaraI booked a studio apartment for a few nights during my stay in Vilnius after having issues with my first booking. I booked the lodging on my ride over from the other place and within 20 minutes, I was checked into the flat.
The customer service guy I spoke with on the phone was a very helpful and stand-up guy, pity I didn't get his name.
What's more? The flat was very clean with all amenities in place. I loved my stay. Didn't really want to leave but alas all things must have an end
