Kaunas City comments Add Yours

• Lance Grundy 15 February 2012
  This good-looking two star hotel is located in a modern glass and steel extension grafted on to the top of a two storey eighteenth century building. It’s situated at the Old Town end of Laisves aleja a pedestrianised street in the centre of town.I arrived by plane at Kaunas airport and took the number 29 bus into the city centre. The fare was just 2 litas and the journey took about 30 minutes. I got off the bus at the stop on K Donelaicio gatve the boards on the bus tell you the name of the stop as you approach it walked along the road for about 50m in the same direction as the bus was going and then turned right into Vasario 16-osios gatve. I walked down to the end and turned right and the hotel was there. There is a very handy small supermarket in the same building.The rooms were basic but clean and tidy and the shower in the bathroom worked well. Breakfast was a €3 continental affair which I declined as the breakfast room appeared full. Hotel guests get a 20 discount at the modern café next to the hotel entrance and they do a decent bacon and eggs for about 6 litas. The Old Town is about a 10 minute walk away with its many bars and restaurants and there are also two British-style pubs located on Laisves aleja itself - ‘Le Fin’ and ’Republic’ - both of which are open late. As I was leaving Kaunas by train I asked the receptionist the best way to get to the station and she helpfully wrote out the numbers of all the buses and trolley buses I could get there while I went and had breakfast.All in all a great little hotel for the price. No wonder it was packed.
