We settled quickly, the room was on the 2nd floor, the view from the room was amazing - on the old center. As much as I do not like the classic interior, but in this hotel for the first time I realized what a competent design is. Everything was chosen with taste and light chic. the room turned out to be not only beautiful, but also functional: a wardrobe with hangers, an ironing board, an iron, a hairdryer in the bathroom, a coffee machine, a minibar and an alarm clock in the room.
Breakfasts strike not so much with the assortment as with the quality. I especially remember: red fish, Caprese salad, homemade cookies, buns and bread, Actimel, fruits (namely: pineapple, melon, blueberries), as well as freshly squeezed orange juice and delicious cappuccino.
On Saturday we were offered champagne for breakfast. After my agreement with the clarification "only a little", they brought me half a glass, as I requested. The atmosphere at breakfast was incredibly solemn, as if it were not morning at all. Some guests came to breakfast almost in evening dresses and shoes (and it was about +5 degrees outside).
We went to the bar from the hotel - it's just a holiday there in the evening: loud music, everyone drinks, prices are about the same as in other bars.
Once we dined at the restaurant from the hotel - it is simply beyond praise: the service, the taste of the dishes, the atmosphere of solemnity.
FINDINGS:
The hotel is very beautiful and comfortable, the staff catered to us at every turn (sometimes we felt uncomfortable - as much attention was paid to us), excellently located, with a good restaurant and bar.
I have been to many places and lived in different hotels. But we remember this one because for the first time we did not want to see the city, but there was a desire to stay in the room.
We stayed for a whole week at the Ramada Hotel. The hotel turned out to be just super - much higher than our expectations! We chose the hotel based on reviews - it was also recommended by our friends because it is located in the old town and you can walk to all the main restaurants and museums (this is for those who want everything to be at hand). We ordered a New Year's package from them with tickets to the Philharmonic. Rooms I'll tell you on the highest category - a luxury!
The most convenient thing is that the Philharmonic Hall is right in front of the hotel, so we did not lose a single second of precious festive time! At 6 pm, we and other guests were invited to the hotel lobby and congratulated on the upcoming holidays, there were snacks and champagne!
my husband and I were very pleased with the good start of the evening : ) The concert turned out to be excellent and we, inspired by the Strauss polkas, went to the Californija Gourmet restaurant in the same Ramada in an elevated mood. I won't go into details about the menu, but I will say that everything was great.
Moreover, on Christmas the hotel administration put on a whole performance with gifts from "Santa Claus": ) for Russian-speaking guests. It was amazing, real animation for kids, and most importantly everything is free - it was a surprise! I want to say that if you want to get into a fairy tale, be sure to choose Ramada.
rested for a couple of days - Ramada Vilnius hotel is super - price / quality, still managed to shop
looked at the sights of Vilnius with a friend. I didn't know that you can in Vilnius
buy EVERYTHING, and did not suspect how profitable it is. On discount recaptured tickets.
Super hotel, sauna, gym, excellent cuisine, great staff
Upon arrival, the hotel pleased with the beauty and richness of the decoration of the lobbies and corridors. Everywhere carpets, tapestries, vases. On the ground floor there is a fireplace room. It seems that you are in an old building, which has been renovated in the palace style.
The room was small, but quite comfortable. After a four-seater compartment on the train St. Petersburg - Vilnius and a sleepless night, because of fellow travelers and customs, we felt like people. But that was only the first impression.
Soundproofing. As it turned out later, with all the monumentality of appearance and richness of decoration, the soundproofing in the rooms is very poor. We were placed in a room on the third floor. And above us was the kitchen of the conference room. And at eight in the morning, the attendants woke us up with the roar of dishes, the noise of an open water tap and the clatter of heels. And when the neighbors drove into the next room, and the noise was added, our patience ran out and we asked to change the number for us. The number was changed to us without further ado and even with understanding and sympathy.
The room on the fourth floor, where we moved, was larger, but the windows were attic, and you could see little from them, but you could hear everything, both what was happening on the street and what the neighbors were doing. Moreover, the ventilation in the toilet was noisy incessantly. The room was completely smoky. Tobacco smoke reeked of all bed linen and towels. But we discovered this only when we went to bed. In general, they ventilated as best they could and reconciled, since there were only two nights left to spend the night.
Housekeeping. As in most Russian hotels, the most "important people" in the hotel are the maids. They are everywhere. Whenever you leave the room or return to the room, you will either see or hear them. They will constantly catch your eye, either with a cart or with a vacuum cleaner. And yet, in the rooms on the table is a paper envelope with the name of the maid. As we understood, this is a hint of a tip. And this despite the fact that the floor in our room was never vacuumed, and the linen was changed on the fourth day. Rave. Well, why, when you live in hotels in Europe, even three stars, you don’t see or hear the staff. And at the same time, the rooms are clean, and the bed linen is changed. And when do they have time to do it?
Breakfast. The buffet has a very good selection of dishes: hot dishes, salads, fruits and drinks. Whether these items will be available when you arrive for breakfast depends on which staff is on duty. If during the duty of one of the waitresses all the dishes that are offered were always available, then when the other waitress was on duty, most of the dishes were not. No, they probably were, but they were not carried out on time. After the holidays, breakfast was until 11.30, but by 10.00 there was no more coffee in thermoses. On our question, the waitress said that the coffee was over.
General impression. The Ramada Hotel in Vilnius is not four-star. Yes, well located, beautiful outside and inside. But there is no feeling that you live in a four-star European hotel. The staff is not trained. In general, the owners have something to work on, especially since Lithuania is now in the Schengen zone, and the European tourist is used to decent service.

Location of the hotel. The choice fell on this hotel primarily because of the location. And in this our expectations were justified. Living in the historic center is just great. Everything is nearby. Only churches and castels within a radius of five hundred meters counted seven. And for a week of stay, we managed to get around almost all the nearby restaurants, cafes and bars, and there are many of them in the center.
