When choosing a hotel for a stay in Vilnius, in addition to the standard set of our hotels (not very expensive, tasty, yes, and preferably in the center), we also added the availability of parking for our iron horse. Yeah, it's better than the free one : )). According to the given parameters, they fit and were booked with free cancellation Best Western Vilnius 4 * and Holiday Inn Vilnius 4 *.

When choosing a hotel for a stay in Vilnius, in addition to the standard set of our hotels (not very expensive, tasty, yes, and preferably in the center), we also added the availability of parking for our iron horse. Yeah, it's better than the free one : )).
According to the given parameters, they fit and were booked with free cancellation Best Western Vilnius 4 * and Holiday Inn Vilnius 4 *. Took time to think. But the second one, after some time, requested another card, then called the second one “invalid” and canceled the booking. So the pain of choice disappeared.
Hotel Best Western Vilnius 4* is conveniently located in the Snipiskes (? nipi? k? s) area within walking distance from the historical center. The area of modern skyscrapers, business and shopping centers, at the foot of which, it seems, buildings of past centuries have miraculously survived. It is said that the locals call this area "Shanghai" because of such contrasts. Looking at it from Gediminas Hill, we called this place Vilnius City for ourselves)). (see photo)
Holiday Inn Vilnius 4*, Redisson Blu Lietuva 4*, and Ibis Vilnius Center 3* are also based there.
As I mentioned, one of the selection criteria was the availability of its own parking. But personally, we were not very lucky with her, there was not enough space. Opposite the hotel there is a city parking (well, or a territory adapted for it), at the moment repair work is underway there (or maybe not very much), everything has been dug up there. But free! Anyway, now. We left the car there. True, you still have to manage to squeeze in on it, by seven in the morning there are no places left on it, it is empty by the end of the working day. (see photo)
The room is quite cozy and comfortable. But the photo looked newer. The carpet that has already seen thousands of feet is especially striking. Everything you need is there, everything works. There are many sockets, which becomes a very important moment in the modern world : )). Rich bar, paid, of course : )). Moreover, it is the cabinet with a built-in refrigerator that stands out against the general background with its novelty, recently, probably, it was replaced.
We got a room with windows to the floor. Cool. And yes, they open....Completely, not for ventilation. But you should not worry, there is further glass in the entire opening. On the photo of the facade you can identify these numbers. And in the dark (in winter, for example, it dawns only after 9 am) from the street, sometimes, you can watch the show "Behind the Glass" : )). Oh, well, nothing bad: someone pulls on trousers, someone scratches their turnips, someone just stands and contemplates beauty ...
The bathroom is clean and tidy, but old-fashioned. Equipped with shampoos and gels, liquid soap in the dispenser (by the way, very pleasant, coniferous), towels are available. Somewhat surprised by the unusually low sink. The strange location of the toilet is uncomfortably close to the doorway with sufficient bathroom space. But this is me, for the description, all of a sudden for which giant this is important)).
Breakfast! For him, you can forgive all the scuffs and roughness of the hotel.
Not only is there a lot of everything, everything is fresh, but it is also delicious! Oh, this slightly salted salmon! And what amazing sausages (there were two types for sure)! I will not list omelettes, bacons and other cereals. It is clear that the set is the same from day to day. So in order to try everything and not roll out like koloboks, you probably have to live for a week. But we didn't have such luxury (a week), we had to be koloboks : )). But until the evening I didn’t even want to look towards the eating establishments : )).
Yes, I almost forgot. The hotel has a sauna and a small swimming pool. What can be a nice bonus after a busy tourist day. Especially if there are not many guests. I suspect on peak dates this pool is more like a soup. Frankly, we also took swimsuits with us, but in the morning it would be time to go somewhere, and in the evening there is no strength anymore : )).
Bottom line: if you do not find fault with trifles, then the hotel is almost perfect for your money.

A very cozy hotel, there are two administrators at the reception, one speaks Lithuanian and English, the second one speaks Russian, so if your English is not perfect, there will be no problems in communication, on the ground floor there is a lockable and very spacious room for baggage. We go further, there are two elevators, modern, but fast, which is nice, because more than 60 people checked in at the same time as part of the Baltic Express and we checked in in 10 minutes.

We go further, there are two elevators, modern, but fast, which is nice, because more than 60 people checked in at the same time as part of the Baltic Express and we checked in in 10 minutes. Everyone has their own room key card, so you can’t depend on your neighbor. The room has a huge closet for a hotel with a mirrored door. And in the bathroom - a bath! After a week in the train - hotel - train mode, it was very pleasant to lie in the bathroom. The room itself is spacious with a desk, chairs and armchairs. The beds are one and a half, the pillows are high, the blankets are warm, but natural. Warm, but not hot or stuffy. I am attaching a photo and I advise you to live in this hotel!
