FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Don’t let the name fool you because it is just an Inn! This hotel is fabulous, it is just constructed brand new, exterior and interior wise of the Hotel is clean and modern!

From the outside, it is filled with lights hanging from the ceiling structure, bright during the day and well lit during the night. It like walking into a modern art museum.

GROUND FLOOR LOBBY

The ground floor lobby has a very clean and simple minimalist feel to it, as you walked in, you are greeted with the friendliest and welcoming receptionist staffs ever!

Right across from the reception area, it is an area called “The Shop” this is where if you like to make some purchase on some confectionery snacks, water or alcohols for your room.

Scroll down this post below for my own hotel secrets!

KING DELUXE ROOM

We were fortunate to get upgraded to a King Deluxe room from the ordinary King Room during our stay. The room is actually so much larger than we had anticipated, which was a delight to stay in!

The room has an extra-large king bed, coffee-machine, a temperature LCD remote controlled air-con, a bathtub, shower and also they had provided us with some complimentary fruit platter and bottles of water! (Thank you Hilton Vilnius)

The view of our room was facing the courtyard, it was actually not bad at all, the hanging vine lights makes the courtyard looks beautiful. However, the downside, is that you can see other people room from across because of the close distance. Make sure you get those curtains down, if you wish to have some privacy!

THE BEEF ROOM & BAR

Alright, Alright, Alright! (*Insert Matthew Mcconaughey voice*) The foods and the drinks served in this restaurant is absolutely fantastic! We had Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner here almost every night because of the service and food quality provided here at the Beef Room.

Breakfast was actually great, however, there are some days while we are there the waffle machine had broken down. That broke my heart! :( The barista made latte, on the other hand, made up for it! It was excellent made coffee!

Lunch and Dinner - The food from the dinner menu was PHENOMENAL!!! The soup of the day, Mushroom Ravioli, Salmon, Octopus starter, Tiger Prawns, Steak and Hand-cut potatoes, Beef Burgers and Steak Sand which is to DIE FOR!

Furthermore, their signature cocktails from the bar are FREAKING SWEET! Definitely try their twist on the classic Pina Colada and another rum cocktail which I forgot the name.

Check out some of the foods and drink photos below:

GYMNASIUM & LAUNDRY ROOM

The fitness and laundry room is located on the 6th floor. The room is filled with plenty of weights and cardio machines to keep you occupied for your workout. Furthermore, the Laundry room is just right next door, there are washing machine and dryer in the room. IT IS ABSOLUTELY FREE TO USE! Just purchase your own laundry detergent.

FINAL THOUGHTS

The staffs throughout the hotel are absolutely fantastic, I had one of the most pleasant and enjoyable customer service experiences ever. EVERYONE DESERVES A PAT ON THEIR SHOULDER! WELL DONE!

HUSH HUSH SECRET TIPS:

THE SHOP - The items at the Shop can be quite pricey! However, there is a conveniences store “RIMI EXPRESS” just right next door to the hotel (1 Minute Walk) that sell everything for way less! (If you would love to save some money!)
Open every day till 10 pm Daily!
THE BEEF RESTAURANT - When ordering your meal at the restaurant, make sure you grab as many complimentary toast in the restaurant, it is delicious with the garlic butter provided.
Catch Public Transport or Walk – If you’re planning to visit most of the famous landmark in Vilnius, just walk or catch one of their iconic trolleybuses (GOOGLE and see what I’ve meant)
