Hotels near FRENDO. Bookshop of ideas, Vilnius

We booked a Business Double room and it was great - huge bed, soft sheets and big pillows, nice bathroom. As this was our first Business room, I wasn't used to additional items like ear-plugs for better sleep, shoe-shine wipes etc. - awesome! Breakfast at the restaurant area was nice, I left filled with tasty food. If someone will ask me where to stay in Vilnius, I'll recommend this hotel!

The beautiful hotel is located in the old town of Vilnius. It is quite new, accordingly the equipment is very good. My single room was a little small, but it is enough for a person and for a night in the city. The bed was comfortable, but unfortunately there was no refrigerator. The check-in was very professional and efficient. The hotel has a contract with a parking area nearby, it is about 600m walk from the hotel. For only 8 euros you can park your vehicle there (as agreed with the reception). The breakfast was in order but still extensive, for example, it lacked normal milk. There was only lactose-free milk that even tasted acid. All in all, it is a nice hotel and I recommend it to everyone for a stay in Vilnius.

A new hotel in the heart of Vilnius in a very well renovated historical building. Many walls have uncovered historical elements, rooms and corridors are nice, clean and well kept. Staff is worth another paragraph. After spending a few hours in this hotel we started to feel sad that nowadays there are less and less hotels in Europe with such attitude. Every person was very friendly from the beginning. We received a warm welcome and check-in was smooth. Bellboy assisted us with luggage without asking, even though we had only one small suitcase (very nice of him) and provided with all information. The only place I could compare it with, would be Sacher hotel in Vienna, because everyone is always attentive, friendly and it makes guests feel truly welcome. Minibar is very well stocked, with quality drinks, decent wine and snacks. Even though it was opened a few years ago, there are no signs of ageing and obviously the interior is being well taken care of. There is a high class restaurant, bar, spa. Breakfast is very rich and high quality. From gourmet selection of meals to order, to buffet with fresh juices, and (besides traditional breakfast offers) a wide selection of premium foods like smoked eel, dragon fruit, selection of cured meats, beef tongue, Treviso DOC Prosecco, delicious restaurant-made pana cotta and other desserts. Check out was at 12:00 and breakfast on a saturday morgning was also till 12:00. Parking is available in the yard, valet or in the streets around the hotel. Location is very central (near the main square in this part of the city). Building and interior are nice and renovated. High quality shampoo in the bathroom. Yoga mat and some sports equipment in the room. All in all - a true 5* experience, where guests get everything what they need without asking for it.

ABSOLUTLY NOT RECOMMENDED! WE BOOKED 2 DOUBLE ROOMS IN SEPTEMBER 2022 FOR A RAMMSTEIN CONCERT. AT THIS POINT THEY HAD A LOT OF ROOMS FREE AND OFFERED IT IN ***********. IN MAI 2023 (7 month later!) THEY CANCELED OUR ROOMS (2 DOUBLE ROOMS) WITH THE CASE ”SORRY - OUR HOTEL IS OVERBOOKED”. BUT THE REAL AND TRUE CASE WAS, THEY OFFERED THE ROOMS TO OTHER GUESTS CAUSE OF RARLY AVAILABLE ROOMS IN MAY 2023/VILNIUS. WE ORGINALLY PAID 599 EURO FOR ONE WEEK TOTAL FOR BOTH DOUBLE ROOMS IN SEPTEMBER 2022. IN MAI 2023 THEY OFFERED THE ROOMS FOR OVER AROUND 2000 EURO+ PER WEEK (EACH ROOM!). FROM THE BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW ITS SURLY WISE BUT ITS REALLY REALLY UNFAIR TO THE GUESTS TO F*CK THEIR LONG PLANNED HOLIDAYS IN THE LAST MOMENT BEFOR THE TRAVEL BEGINS. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO FIND ANOTHER PAYABLE HOTEL IN VILNIUS SO WE HAD TO CHOOSE SOMETHING 30KM OUTSIDE OF VILNIUS CITY. WE HAD TO USE BOLT/UBER TAXIS EVERY DAY AND WE HAD ALOT OF EXTRA COSTS CAUSE OF THIS OUTRAGEOUS HOTEL. WE ARE VERY VERY DISAPOINTED AND I WILL POST THIS STORY WHEREVER I CAN! UNBELIEVABLE!

The hotel and room itself were nice, modern, clean, comfortable and warm. Breakfast was good and the staff were polite and helpful. We liked the breakfast porridge very much and found the food was fresh and tasty. Some fresh fruit would be a nice addition. The hotel is much further from the centre than you would think. our Booking website listed the hotel as a 15 min walk from the centre, but it was 25-30 from the areas you are most likely to visit and there are hills, so go prepared for this or take Uber/Bolt cars which are very cheap. (We would consider ourselves fast walkers) IGNORE THE 'HISTORIC CENTRE' DIRECTION SIGN POST OUTSIDE THE MAIN ENTRANCE which has been put up the wrong way and directs unsuspecting tourists in the opposite direction to where they want to go. Nobody warned us about this initially. This won't affect most visitors, but during our stay the hotel hosted a darts tournament, which I am sure brings them good custom. However, not all of the people attending this event were very considerate of other guests staying at the hotel and it did affect our experience for the one weekend we stayed. Some drunk guests from the darts teams were running and shouting up and down our corridor (third floor) from midnight until around 5am, banging on doors, shouting and laughing loudly. This made it very difficult to sleep. In the morning the breakfast room was overwhelmed and dishes were emptied by the darts players soon after they were put out. I put my orange juice, cutlery and glasses on a table one morning and went to grab my breakfast and when I returned one of the darts players was busy moving my things to the side so that they could take my seat. It kind of made me feel like a second priority guest. There were lots of darts tournament attendees heavy drinking at the hotel bar (which is in the main reception) at all hours of the day and due to the hard, modern decor, this made the communal areas very noisy.

One of the best hotels that we stayed during our 2 weeks Europe tour We were here for 3 nights. 1) Receptionist was excellent. Ever smiling and helpful, she was understanding and cooperative. Our room had an AC problem- she immediately provided an alternative room. 2) Location- Great location just on the fringes of the old town. The walking distance to the Town hall was 5 minutes. 3) Comfort- Room was quite good size with all amenities except heating iron. Room was spanking new and very clean. Only one drinking water bottle was provided on the first night, it wasn’t replenished. Bedding was very comfortable. 4) We did not opt for the breakfast. We did not have any meals at the hotel. Room had Tea/ coffee making facility and provisions for tea and coffee. 5) Rooms and towels were cleaned only if requested by guests (by placing sign on door) 6) We had a wonderful time in Vilnius and our stay at Conti hotel was superb.

Domus Maria is a lovely hotel located right at the doorstep of old town. the location was perfect. The closest sights to see literally started at the doorstep of the hotel. Its only about a 20-25 min walk to the hill top castle which was one of the furthest points. Between the hotel and that point of interest there is an incredible amount to see so the it was a perfect location to start from. Its also close to lots of cafes, restaurants, tourist shops, some bars etc. The bus to get to and from the airport is about a 1 - 2 minute walk away. If your needing the bus station or train station throughout your stay to go and see sights outside the city, they are also both a short walk. The only thing that could use an upgrade or refresh is the linens. The towels are really thin, the bed cover was a bit run down (you can take this off the bed though as it’s just the decorative part so it didn’t effect me), and the pillows were a bit thin and lumpy. The linens themselves though were very clean, just a bit old is all. All in all, this didn’t have a negative effect on my stay and I would stay here against for sure. Nice property, great location and very clean.

This is a very nice hotel. The reception staff are extremely helpful (thanks!), my room was very nice, comfortable mattress (and I’m fussy), excellent breakfast, including non-dairy items (thanks again!). The hotel is a short walk to the bus station, or two blocks from a bus 3g bus stop going to the airport (short ride). The hotel is not right in Old Town, but is a very short walk, which for me seemed perfect. Finally, the lobby furniture is really nice, much better than the usual.

We were on the 5th floor with great vistas of the city. Our room was warm and comfy and we enjoyed 2 nights there. We ate one evening in the restaurant and the food was very nice but it was a bit pricey so definitely cheaper to eat in town. It was very handy for breakfasts just being situated across from a world famous fast food outlet where we went each morning. The hotel was well situated for walking trips into the city which we did each day.

From reception to the bar all the staff were wonderful - extremely professional, warm and welcoming, offering advice and genuinely interested in ensuring guests have everything they need. I only ate a snack in the bar but this was a plate full of high quality cured meats and delicious bread and the server was very kind and helpful.
