I cannot recommend this lovely hotel highly enough!

I only wish it had been possible to have spent our entire holiday in Lithuania based in this hotel.

Arriving on the train from Vilnius was a nightmare - there were no taxis to be seen. We eventually squeezed onto one of those microbuses (like a Turkish dolmus) - not easy with luggage - and happily another passenger spoke English and sorted us out where to get off!

So we were a bit stressed on arrival but just walking into the calm, elegant reception area and seeing the red and white designer clad staff smiling at us was a taste of what was in store.

We had only booked a standard room but found ourselves in the most beautiful, comfortable and spacious room I think we have had on a city break (we go for 2-3* hotels usually on these sorts of trips, quantity not quality is our aim!)

We were at the front of the hotel with a massive double bed and a gloriously comfortable settee and easy chair.

There was a TV, fridge, mini-bar and the whole ambience was comfort.
Loads of wardrobe space, safe, central heating & double glazing.

Bathroom was just brilliant with state of the art facilities and ample large fluffy white towels plus a hairdryer and various lotions etc. Quite large and warm too in there.

Tiny tiny gripe was no coffee sachets (the hotel had apparently run out totally) just lemon tea bags with no milk....well one can acquire the taste.....

We ate twice in the lovely restaurant - and as another reviewer said, gourmet food at very low prices.

Free internet in reception :-)

Very close to the pedestrianised main shopping street (the longest such in Europe apparently) but quite a walk into the lovely old town for someone who is temporarily partially disabled. (We made it but caught a taxi back for £4)

At the top of the street is a funicular up to the massive church which was commandeered by the Russians to be used as a factory - now restored to the Catholic church. The church really dominates the skyline in Kaunas.

Never seen so many handbag/boots and clothes shops in a city so small! The shopping was great.

The Russian Orthodox Cathedral is also worth a visit as is the eternal flame outside the War Museum.

There are some ghastly examples of Soviet era architecture to be found everywhere outside of the old city.
Our taxi driver said all the money for restoration is going to Vilnius as it is European City of Culture next year.

Hotel Daniela was a joy and for £57 a night we thought that it was quite a bargain considering the high standards.

Staff were super efficient and friendly & helpful. They booked us a taxi to the airport with fixed price (£15 equivalent, well worth it rather than ram into a microbus!) which is 12 km from the city.

I simply cannot find anything critical to say about this hotel in any respect. I just wished we were able to stay longer - it was a credit to Kaunas and to Lithuania and I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone.

Comfort and class personified!
