"We were in Kaunas for 10 days to get a knee replacement. Staff was fantastic helping out. Modern hotel. Fun lobby. Nice morning breakfast. Seconds from Liberty Avenue and great restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops"
"The lack of reception/ staff at the hotel made the experience v clinical. They did not release the code to enter until 3pm and had not let us know this- having previously said we would get an email 24 hours before so I tried chasing it to ensure I had correctly booked the rooms.
Breaksat was cosy with the cooked breakfast cooked to order- v pleasant"
"Great hotel and located in a quiet street just off the main square. minutes walk to restaurants, around 20 minutes to Laisves Alejos. Would absolutely recommend this hotel."
