This is an absolute gem of a hotel. We stayed 5 nights & honestly couldn't fault it. We took a bolt from the airport (a great, easy, cheap way to do airport transfers). The location is in the old town - fairly close to the Town Hall where a lot of the guided walking tours start - and in the other direction at the end of the street is Cathedral Square. So it's a very good location but really quiet. The hotel is boutique style, modern, clean with some quirky artwork. There's a lovely light scent in the air which greets you upon arrival. We had a standard room. I was prepared for a small room but ours was very spacious (maybe we were lucky), clean, comfortable & well-equipped (electronic safe, touch lighting,hairdryer etc). The shower was easy to use, powerful & there was no shortage of hot water. There was also a stocked minibar which we didn't use. Breakfast was good in what look like old cellars downstairs which have been modernized. For a fairly small hotel there was a good selection of fresh hot & cold options. However, what also made this a great place were the staff, always friendly, helpful & super efficient! There was a problem with our hairdryer & Reception said they'd be up in a minute. I presumed I'd be waiting maybe 10 minutes but honestly within a flash, there was a knock at the door! I also asked for restaurant recommendations from the Receptionist, he gave us a few recommendations & we chose one - and the food was delicious with a lovely ambience. Could anything be improved? Maybe if it's busy a second coffee machine or hot water urn at breakfast - also there are tea/coffee making facilities in the room but milk sachets would be a nice addition - but to be honest it's very rare to find that in European hotels! Vilnius itself is a lovely destination - probably often overlooked. We found it clean, felt very safe & has an interesting history. Makes for a great city break.

“Great hotel within walking distance to all Old Town attractions”

Stayed at the Artagonist in early December. We had their Business Double Room (#211) on the 2nd floor for 3 nights. The room was very nice, spacious, modern and comfortable. Plenty of space too, and some nice amenities like a pour-over coffee maker. There was a glass wall between the bedroom and the bathroom, but even with the wooden shutters closed, it would still allow quite some light into the bedroom. For light sleepers, you could wake them up with the lights if going to the bathroom at night. The hotel has a great location in Old Town, just a few minutes walk from the main square with the Cathedral where i.e. the Christmas Market is taking place, with plenty of cafes and restaurants just minutes away, and with some convenience shops nearby, i.e. pharmacy, nice gift shops etc. One thing to be aware of is that Old Town is tough for parking, and the hotel doesn’t have a designated parking spot, even to drop the bags off. We briefly parked just outside the hotel, and were quickly warned to move the car quickly. Apparently you may very quickly get a parking ticket here even if you only walked into the hotel to check in or ask where to park; we were lucky, and avoided getting the ticket. The staff were very helpful and welcoming, and offered advice on nearby cheaper parking options (i.e. 10 minute walk towards the river), as well as have an option of taking your details and switching your parking on/off via an app that they use (at an extra cost, I believe, but convenient since parking is hourly). There were a few nice breakfast spots nearby, even on the same street as the hotel, where you can get a nice breakfast. Due to that we only had breakfast at the hotel once as we were pressed for time, and they were supposed to open at 7am. The continental spread was nice, and everything was very fresh and tasty (i.e. great bread!), but they were not ready shortly after 7am, and we had to wait for the staff to get everything ready. All in all we enjoyed our stay here, and would return in a heartbeat, as well as recommend to others.

“Great Value & Location”

A great hotel, and very central. The room was modern and spacious. Service was good by all that we encountered. We also felt the price was good value for money. Great shower, with fantastic water volume and pressure. Plus very comfortable bed which we always find a challenge as we sleep on a high end bed at home. Slight disappointments were that we paid for a city view room and didn’t get one. But as we liked the room we didn’t raise it. The breakfast was largely good. However, the cooked elements were only just about warm, on both mornings. Also potentially a second coffee machine would be helpful.

“Great hotel in a great location”

What a great hotel. Brilliantly located and something different than the norm in terms of the rooms and the art. The staff were so friendly and the whole atmosphere of the hotel started the trip in a fantastic way. Would highly recommend it
