Congress Hotel

The overall experience wasn’t to bad as we were attended to with haste. It was cold and we couldn’t turn on the A/C heating, staff told us that it’s turned off during winter which makes no sense. There was also false advertising on amenities such as a pool and gym, staff told us to go elsewhere.

Very nice hotel in a prime location! Looking out my window, I could see the Stalin's Finger Building and the big shopping area. For being in the center of town, it was remarkably quiet. My room itself was very nice with plenty of electrical outlets, but it was on the small side. Also, the room was warm, and I could not get it to cool down. The windows are locked so that you can only open them about two inches and no breeze or fresh air comes in. The breakfast buffet was very nice. We kept getting lost, though, and for some reason it was hard to find our way back to the hotel for the first day and a half. I would definitely return to this hotel if I have the opportunity to return.

Very disappointing stay – poor customer service

We booked a room for 4 people (2 adults, a 6-year-old, and an 8-month-old baby). On arrival, we were given a room with only one double bed and a cot — no extra bedding or space for our 6-year-old. When I went to reception to sort it out, Alexandra told me it was “normal” for a child to sleep with the parents, even though our booking clearly showed 4 guests. She offered no solution and said it was my fault, and that we’d need to pay extra if we wanted a bed for our child.

We decided to pay extra and moved to a suite. However, that room had a double bed and a sofa bed, but no cot for the baby this time. When we called reception, they said there were no cots available. I even suggested bringing the one from our previous room, but they refused.

This whole experience was very frustrating. I have stayed in many hotels before and never experienced such unhelpful service. Coming back to Lithuania from the UK after 8 years, I was really disappointed to see that the level of customer care hasn’t improved. Definitely not what you expect from a 4-star hotel.

Be aware there are steps from the sidewalk to the hotel entrance.

Spacious room. Comfortable bed. Tea making facilities. Fridge. Inroom safe. Wifi good. Aircon ok. Could be a few more hangers. Lack of drawer space.

Walk-in shower with good water pressure with shampoo & shower gel dispensers. Soap dispenser at basin. Hairdryer.

Nice hot & cold buffet breakfast with eggs & bacon/sausage, ham & cheese, rolls, croissants, cereals, fruit, tea & a decent coffee machine.

No draught beer in the bar.

Exit hotel left & sights, restaurants, bars & shops a short walk away.

The Congress is in a handy location, great buffet breakfast selection and very friendly staff.

I have to share this as any body can face this and may become in trouble in the mid of their vacation, I booked in this hotel and was few hours from the check in, to recieve a cancellation email without knowing the reason or even someone contact me. And at the same moment the hotel is full. How ? I dont know ..
If you want a stress free trip avoid unguaranteed hotels like that ..
Its exactly what I faced and it was really stressful at the last minute ... I do not wish that for my enemy ..

Our second stay - that says it all, I a

Staff at reception were quite unhelpful with providing guidance about parking in the red zone right outside the hotel. Whilst I understand that this is not their responsibility and they are possibly not used to people staying who are travelling in their own vehicles, information could be provided which would have helped reduce a stressful hour of trying to download one of the many parking apps which couldn’t even locate the actual street outside the hotel. The hotel felt impersonal but I think we were quite stressed.
The stay was much improved after visiting the Blue Lotus restaurant which was a short walk from the centrally located hotel.

I recently stayed at congress hotel in Vilnius, it’s a really good place to stay, the room was more than I expected!!! It’s only 10 minutes walking distance from historic places like the Vilnius cathedral and only 15 minutes distance from old town. I definitely recommend this place.

Great hotel! Feels new

Nice soft beds and our room had a lovely balcony. Staff was very friendly and it was conveniently located to Senamiestis (Old Town). Buffet looked awesome but we already had breakfast plans. I will definitely stay here next time as well.

Great place to stay for families. Excellent place!

Location, location!
Nice property, friendly staff... Stayed few times.

It was a great experience.

Good location close to town center, clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Pleasant stay.

Excellent

Excellent location good staff and room

We stayed here 3 nights while in Vilnius. The location is great for exploring the town (10-15 minutes) from the main sites. Our room on the 4th floor overlooked the river and was quiet. The bathroom could have had a bit more counter space but the shower was large with a rain head mounted by the ceiling for tall people. The room had enough space for us to open up both our suitcases without them being in our way. The bed was fairly thin (mattress and springs), especially notable when we sat on the bed. Breakfast was included at the ground floor restaurant which didn’t open as early as we would have liked (7am weekday and 8am weekends). The buffet had several smoked meats (ham and chicken) that really tasted great.

Nice hotel. Very convenient location.

Great, central location; Clean, quiet rooms with great service. Very helpful reception; prompt check-in and check-out. I would recommend and have no hesitation to say there again.
