Best Place

Best Place Overview

Look, I’ll be straight with you about Best Place – the name is doing some serious heavy lifting here because, honestly, this boutique spot on Gedimino Prospektas didn’t quite live up to expectations when I stayed there last spring. I mean, the location is actually fantastic – you’re right in the heart of Naujamiestis, walking distance from Cathedral Square and all those great cafes that line the main drag. You know what caught my eye initially? The building itself has this sort of mysterious, understated entrance that makes you feel like you’re discovering some hidden gem that only locals know about.

The thing is, once you get inside, well… let’s just say the experience gets a bit more complicated. The lobby has this eclectic, almost artistic vibe that screams “we’re different from those chain hotels,” and I actually appreciate that they’re going for something unique rather than playing it safe. But here’s where things get tricky – the execution doesn’t quite match the ambition. My room had character, I’ll give it that, but some of the fixtures felt like they needed attention, and the soundproofing between rooms was pretty much nonexistent (learned that the hard way around 2 AM). The staff seemed genuinely friendly, though a bit overwhelmed during check-in, which took longer than expected even though there wasn’t really a line.

What’s frustrating is that you can see the potential everywhere – the location alone puts you within a five-minute walk of some of Vilnius’s best restaurants, and you’re practically next door to those little art galleries tucked away in the Old Town’s periphery. Plus, if you’re into exploring on foot, you can’t beat being right on Gedimino – it’s like the city’s main artery. I just wish the hotel itself matched the energy of its surroundings. The breakfast situation was… well, let’s call it minimalist, and not in a good way. Parking nearby is doable but you’ll probably end up circling the block a few times, especially during weekends when locals are out and about. Honestly, for what you’re paying, there are probably better options in the area, but if you’re someone who values location above everything else and doesn’t mind a few rough edges, it might work for you – just don’t expect that boutique experience to feel particularly polished.

  Sukčius ir aferistas.
  
  What could be improved: Naudoja platformą žmonių apgaudinėjimui. Užsakyta buvo groudžio 30-31 dienom. Užsakymas apmokėtas. Po užsakymo apmokėjimo pradėjo reikalauti papildomų pinigų. Atvykus į apgyventinimo vietą neįleido bei nesiteikė jokios info,kaip patekti į patalpas. Telefonu nebendrauja visisškai. Raštu parašė,jog neįleis. Raštu mėtėsi kažkokiais mistiniais kaltinimais bookingui ir žmonėms,kurie perka platformoje apgyvendinimo paslaugas. Daugiau kaip lauko durų pamatyti neteko.
