Hotel berhampiran Giruliai nudist beach, Klaipeda

We stayed here as part of a group. This hotel has two buildings. The main lobby and access to 4 star hotel and the second building home to offices and 3 star hotel. This apparently is old soviet building/ hotel. We stayed in the latter which actually was quite good. The room was on fifth floor and was a decent size with two comfortable single beds. The pillows were poor but this seems standard in Baltics. The room had good sized TV and desk with kettle and tea/coffee makings - a real plus. There was also a mini fridge. The bathroom was clean and modern. With hot shower. Initially the air con was not working but engineer attended to fix it. It was noisy but worked. The lifts in this building small & dark and jolted when stopping so bit unnerving! The breakfast in main building large buffet selection. Wi fi good. We decided to go to 12th floor restaurant in our block but the lift didn’t seem to work and so we walked up.As we went up you could see the old radiators but the door was blocked and there was oil on the floor so we turned back.

We enjoyed staying at this small hotel. The rooms were very well done and we were most comfortable. The hotel also has a bar and a restaurant. The warm ambiance accented the excellent duck breast that we ordered. One of the best parts of the hotel is its location. Right off the central square, there is very good shopping nearby. Also, the river and its parks are about a block away. This is a great spot for a getaway.

Hotel posiada 3 gwiazdki i w sumie na pewno więcej otrzymać nie powinien. Nie był zły, ale na pewno więcej do niego się nie wybierzemy. Plusy: lokalizacja - ok 300 m do głównego rynku starego miasta z restauracjami i knajpami. Około 40 minut spacerkiem do portu, natomiast bardzo daleko do plaży. Bardzo dużym plusem jest czystość: bardzo porządne i dobre sprzątanie, codzienne odkurzanie, czuć chlor i środki czystości w łazience, pod tym względem wielki plus. Minusy: szopki totalne z parkingiem. Najpierw piszą, że jest bezpłatny, potem na ulotkach skreślają to długopisem. W efekcie niby jest bezpłatny ale jest tylko 10 miejsc przed hotelem wiecznie zajętych. Na tyłach hotelu też są, ale nie można tam parkować i grozi mandat. Tak więc dramat z parkowaniem i nie piszmy o bezpłatnym parkingu na tyle gości hotelowych, którzy zatrzymują się w wakacje w tym hotelu.... Okolica hotelu średnia - z jednej strony bok muzeum browaru, z drugiej obdrapany i zapuszczony blok mieszkalny. Pokoje czyste, ale łazienki to jakiś komunistyczny dramat z prysznicem bez możliwości regulacji. W naszym pokoju brak możliwości otwierania okien, bo często padał deszcz i leciał od razu na łózka i pościel. Śniadania: po pierwsze bardzo bardzo skromne, po drugie restauracja hotelowa tak malutka, że ludzie albo stali w kolejce albo musieli siadać na zimnie na tarasie i się tam gnieździć. W sali głównej tylko 4 stoliki na cały hotel gości w godzinach oczywiście 8:00-10:00. Nawet recepcja ponura i na tyle powolna, że często tworzyły się kolejki do zameldowania. Ogólnie uważam, że hotel sam w sobie nie jest zły, ale zdecydowania nie za taką cenę, którą trzeba za niego zapłacić. Cena jest kompletnie nieadekwatna do jakości i tym zdaniem zakończę swój opis.

All in all it is a nice ”sanatorium”, but the single room was too small and stuffy so even if you travel alone book a double room. The treatment package was not worth the money as most of the treatements were useless so it is better to pay for the massage or anything else you want separately. The three meals inclusive deal was not a good idea, especially for dinner. So it is advisable to just take breakfast. However, Palanga itself does not have too many good restaurants. So take this into account...The cleanileness was not always good. Cleaning was very basic. They claim to be 4 star but give you only 2 towels as a result of which after taking shower which you do all the time if you take 5 treatements a day as i did, the bathroom floor is conitnuously wet and unclean. The location is OK if you are just interested in lying on the beach. But it is quite far from the city itself, from the pier, from the museums. So i walked about 10 to 13 kilometers every day amongst the decaying Soviet health centers to get to the center, which was good healthwise but not for everyone...

We stayed here for two nights. The hotel is modern. The rooms are clean and modern but basic with no frills. The shower temperature was incredibly variable - it would literally go from very hot to very cold and back again without anything being touched. We all experienced this issue! The rooms were very stuffy but being on a main road the windows couldn’t be left open overnight; no air con and a fan but it was very noisy. We asked for more pillows and were rudely told “No. The hotel is full. There are no pillows” with no hint of a “sorry”. The breakfasts were pretty typical for this part of Europe and perfectly ok. The location is good if you want the ferry terminal but bad for the centre of Klaipeda, being around 2.5-3km away along the main road which is not in the slightest bit interesting.
