Shakespeare Boutique Hotel

I stayed at the Shakespeare Boutique Hotel for 2 nights recently whilst on a solo trip in Vilnius. I chose this hotel as it was well situated right in the Old Town which made everything I wanted to see and do a short walking distance away and had breakfast included which made the stay cheaper and more convenient for me. I felt very safe at the hotel and it was located in quiet surroundings. The staff were very kind and friendly. I would recommend to others booking a city break in Vilnius.

This is a very stylish and cozy hotel, set up in the style of an old-time country inn with a (slightly forced) literary theme; rooms are named after canonical writers and have book exchange shelves. Staff were efficient. My room was nice though rather small and a bit dated. The electronic key card system is annoyingly noisy at night when people to the left and right of you return to their rooms, plus I had the vending machine right next to my door, so some more shrill beeping sounds there. Ground floor rooms facing the street also have a slight noise problem, since there are lots of happy pedestrians, families, tour groups etc. walking the street at all times. On the plus side: fantastic breakfast, served in a truly grand and majestic upstairs parlour. This alone was worth the price of admission.

Excellent location, super central with parking (not free). I liked that they are pet friendly. The rooms are disappointing, very outdated. The bathroom was not ventilated and smelled bad. It is definitely not a 4-star hotel, but a mediocre 3-star one. Pretty bad value for money. I would not stay here again, because there are other options that I think are better.
