old_mill_hotel-72733662.jpg

Old Mill Hotel is located in the very center of the city, on the banks of the reservoir. An ideal option if you want to explore Klaipeda. Amazing architecture of the building and this view of the sea! I was delighted. The conditions are really at a high level. Breakfasts could be a bit more varied. But I still had no reason to complain.

Old Mill Hotel

I have already stayed at this hotel twice and I can recommend it with a clear conscience. It is located in a historic building from the 19th century, ideally in the center. It has a very elegant, bright interior. Comfortable bed, delicious breakfast and very professional service.

National Hotel

Nice boutique hotel, on the Dange River, very close to the Curonian Lagoon. A classy building, both from the outside and inside. I spent two nights there and had no complaints. Very nice staff - always smiling, helpful, but not intrusive. Spacious room, nicely decorated. A very atmospheric place.

Michaelson Boutique Hotel

ibis_styles_klaipeda_aurora-163918245.jpg

In Klaipeda, I can definitely recommend the Ibis hotel. Good conditions for good money. It is located in a large, modern building, by the reservoir. A plus is the possibility of parking your car in the underground parking lot. Tasty breakfasts, although without fireworks (so-called hotel standard). Clean, tidy and nice.

A great guesthouse practically in the very center of the city. An intimate place with soul, where I spent one night, but I regret not staying at least a day longer. The room was cozy and decorated in a homely way. There is also a kettle and a set of coffee and tea. Certainly a good option for travelers with children.
