This hotel reminded me of the days of being back at University. Staying in a single room here is like staying a room in Halls of Residence. The room was small, containing a bed, a chair, a wardrobe, and a cabinet, upon which was was perched a TV without a remote control. This was not an issue actually, as the room was so small that I could change channels by reaching over from my bed if desired. The other reason this doesn't matter is that all the channels are Lithuanian or Polish.

The carpet was dirty, and the sheets slightly stained and quite worn. The shower was clean, but the towels were rarely changed and the sink was so low I had to stoop to wash or clean my teeth (and I'm only 5' 7")

The breakfast was OK-just about. Tea or coffee (only 1 cup!), bread, cheese, meat and 1 hot selection - either porridge, crepes, omelettes, fried egg dishes and various meat dishes that as a vegetarian, I didn't take much notice of.

The girls on reception were nice though-a seemingly never ending conveyor belt of blondes in their twenties-there must be a factory producing them somewhere.

The location is not great. You can walk to the Old Town in 15 minutes, once you get used to the most direct route, but it's not exactly in the nicest area. It's about 20 minutes walk from the bus/railway station.

Would I stay there again? In all honesty, no I wouldn't. I'd advise that you get somewhere a lilltle closer to town. Make sure that you go to Vilnius though-it's much better than Riga in my opinion.
