A5 Hotel Fabijoniškių 6-5, tel. 270 24 09, fax 270 24 18,<br />
reservation@a5hotel.lt, www.a5hotel.lt. <strong>In</strong> a converted<br />
home in the Fabijoniškės district not too far from the middle<br />
of civilisation, the hosts of this family-run hotel are eager to<br />
please their guests. The set-up is reminiscent of a traditional<br />
British B&B since there is a living room and a dining room<br />
where breakfast is served, and the nice owners will pick up<br />
guests at the aiport which is a real bonus. Q10 rooms (4<br />
singles 90 - 120Lt, 2 doubles 140 - 150Lt, 2 triples 160Lt, 2<br />
suites 190Lt). AR6LGW hhh<br />
Genovaitės Dedelienės B&B J-4, Polocko 53a, tel./<br />
fax 210 58 61. If you don’t mind a 20-minute walk to Old<br />
Town through the charming Užupis district, this could be just<br />
the spot. The rooms are like mini apartments, with a kitchen<br />
and modern bathroom, cable television, and in the bigger<br />
rooms, a couch and eating area. There are trendy touches<br />
like glass placemats and the sort of leather furniture that<br />
you have to peel yourself out of in summer, but basically the<br />
formula here is airy cleanliness, simplicity, and good value.<br />
Worth considering if you want to be out of the way - but not<br />
too far away. Free internet. Q (9 rooms, starting 130Lt).<br />

Jeruzalė Kalvarijų 247, tel. 271 40 40, fax 276 26 27,<br />
jeruzale@takas.lt, www.jeruzalehotel.com. For the modest<br />
price, who could complain? Especially with add-ons like<br />
sauna, swimming pool, in-room internet access and a safe<br />
place to park your car. This hotel, 10 minutes north of the<br />
river, maintains a standard of rooms that should make your<br />
stay comfortable enough while not denting the wallet. Q27<br />
rooms (3 singles 60 - 100Lt, 20 doubles 80 - 100Lt, 2 triples<br />

31 12, hotel@paupio.lt, hotel.paupio.lt. A big friendly manor<br />
house full of big friendly staff tucked away just off the street.<br />
Here you can get just about any combination you require, from<br />
a shared dormitory with external bathroom to self-contained<br />
apartments with en-suite facilities. The rooms are basic, clean,<br />
and fairly good value, and if you want you can take advantage<br />
of the fully equipped downstairs kitchen to keep costs down<br />
even further. Prices include a large breakfast. Q24 rooms (2<br />
singles 60 - 70Lt, 14 doubles 90 - 110Lt, 8 triples 90 - 130Lt,<br />

Velga E-5, Geležinio Vilko 3, tel./fax 231 14 35, velhotel@sekme.lt,<br />
www.hotelvelga.lt. Out of the way and of little<br />
use unless you’ve got business at the nearby Litexpo centre, or<br />
a deep respect for Soviet style 70s kitsch and floral wallpaper.<br />
Good transport connections nearby, pleasant service, and cheap<br />
prices. Q 44 rooms (2 singles from 60Lt, 26 doubles from 90Lt,<br />
15 triples from 120Lt, 1 suite from 120Lt). 6G hh<br />
Victoria G-2, Saltoniškių 56, tel. 272 40 13, fax 272<br />
43 20, hotel@victoria.lt, www.victoria.lt. The price and<br />
quality definitely make up for its location, just a ten-minute<br />
walk from the edge of Old Town. Scandinavian owned and<br />
operated, its contemporary rooms are a bargain at such affordable<br />
prices.Q42 rooms (6 singles €17 - 32, 30 doubles<br />
€40, 2 triples €52, 1 quad €69, 1 suite €52 - 64, 2 mini suites<br />

lt. Here’s a place that aspires to mediocrity, but doesn’t quite<br />
make it. While there’s nothing wrong with the idea of an office<br />
block being converted into a hotel, with cubicles... erm...<br />
Vilnius <strong>In</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Pocket</strong><br />
rooms filled with simple furniture and compact bathrooms<br />
(without baths), this place just feels tired. The threadbare<br />
carpets and tatty furniture in reception at least give an appropriate<br />
welcome. There are no minibars in the rooms, but<br />
you can buy a refrigerator from the shop next door - it’s in<br />
that part of town. Best only for business on a budget. Q26<br />
rooms (1 single 100 - 150Lt, 10 doubles 150 - 190Lt, 15<br />
triples 210 - 250Lt, 2 quads 280 - 320Lt, 2 apartments 210<br />

262 77 42, vjtc@delfi.lt, www.vjtc.lt. Set in a pastoral<br />
courtyard of the Užupis district, the building is in a state of<br />
dilapidated charm characteristic of this part of town. The<br />
bathrooms and quarters are very clean. The receptionists<br />
don’t all speak English but hand-gestures should suffice.<br />

hotelameda.lt, www.hotelameda.lt. A nice combination<br />
of a homey atmosphere with some creative decorations<br />
(nothing too wacky). It’s also in a very pleasant residential<br />
area, and yet still stollable from town. It’s certainly well<br />
fitted-out, with kitchenettes, washing machines, internet<br />
access and satellite televisions. It looks like a good choice<br />
for quiet weekends or longer-term stays. Q6 rooms (2 singles<br />
€25 - 40, 2 doubles €30 - 50, 2 apartments €55 - 65).<br />

lt, www.auksineavis.lt. The ‘golden sheep’ is miles away<br />
from anything interesting (or about 10km from the centre of<br />
the city, to be more exact) but does offer a high standard of<br />
accommodation in modern rooms for a bargain price, and free<br />
WiFi. They also offer free transport to anyone staying more<br />
than five nights, so it’s a good option for a long-term stay, or<br />
if you just want to avoid all the other sheep. Q5 rooms (4<br />
singles 80Lt, 1 double 120Lt). A6ULGW<br />
