We had a double room which was clean but there was a stench of sewage constantly coming from the bathroom drains. The shower tray was cracked and the floor was wet from a leak. When we brought it to the staff's attention the was no urgency to get anthing done or to offer us an other room. The bedding was less then adequate and we had to share a very tiny cover resembling a douvet. The decor was outdated and the rates were too high for what we actually got. The young lady who served us at breakfast was lovely, polite and helpful. A pleasent welcome from the lady who checked us in and dealt with ( or didn't deal with) our bathroom issue. The breakfast however was basic with cheese, ham, toast so the was no choice. The location was excellent only a few minutes walk from all the sights but I'm sure there are other places to stay to offer more value for money.

I was last in Kaunas in 2003 for a Lithuania-Scotland match, and back then my I swore I would NEVER return to the place ever again as I found it to be a horriable place.
7 years later Scotland are paired with Lithuania again and the game is to be played in Kaunas as before.... I decided to go again, but was telling all my friends nothing but bad things about the place. In 2009 Vilnius was sellected as European Capital of Culture, and since then Kaunas has cleaned itself up and now a not to bad provencial city.

I decided to picj the Hotel Mene due to its price and location (its is in the heart of the old town and about 5 minutes walk from the main street in Kaunas).

I had arranged for the hotel to pick me up at the airport when I arrived, and they were waiting for me, and was at the hotel and checked in to it in no time.

I was in room 3 which is situated next to the reception desk.... the rooms are spacious and clean, though the bedclothes could be a little to be desired for, with the top blanket just covering the surface of the bed, and two over-sizes (and over used!!!!) pillows.

Tv in the room with about 100 stations and a few in English.

My only major problems with the hotel are the walls are paper-thin in it!!!! There is no night porter and after 11pm the guests are left to themselves in the hotel... also the front door is locked after 11pm, so guests are given a key... this is where the problems start! Most guests will be given one key, so if you are in a group and the person with the key is not there, then you have to ring the door bell, and as there is no staff, usually a guest has to get up to open it (I did this myself after someone was buzzing for about 15 minutes to get in and nobody would answer!)

Breakfast is not to bad... juice and a plate of cheese and ham with some slices of bread... not the greatest, but enough to get you started.

If I had the choice to stay here then I probably would again, but be asked to be away from the reception area this time.

Great place to stay. The room is modern, clean,and spacious. A little warm in afternoon so nice to have the AC. The people are friendly and the food is good. Great location in the old city. I certainly would stay here again.

Our double room was clean but cold .. It took 24 hours to get some warmth/heat in the room because the owner/boss was absent and nobody else had the "power" to make decision of starting the heating.
In mini bar we found somebody elses food .. so the cleaning person had not checked everything!
Hotel was quite cosy, on a quiet street in Old Town .. PERFECT for a turist!
Breakfast was continental .. I was hungry again by 10 a.m.
