Guest house VILLA KAUNENSIS is waiting for all those who want to stay in the historic building of the interwar period in the main square of Kaunas Old Town, near the Town Hall. Once upon a time, there was the Kaunas Priesthood Seminary and the Museum of Church Art. The adjoining The St. Trinity Church creates an extraordinary mood to this area; it seems to be filled with an aging atmosphere of sacredness. There are many tourist attractions and famous historical sites that allow you to admire valuable cultural heritage or museum exhibitions. Guests can enjoy in the cultural life of the city, which is constantly boiling on the Town Hall Square, and those who prefer the impressive natural shelter can take a walk in the park near the Nemunas and Neris river blossom, loved by the Kaunas citizens. Ancient Kaunas Castle (XIV century), the Bernardine Monastery complex (XV century), the heart of the Old Town - Archcathedral Basilica are within 3 minutes walking distance.

This was exactly as expected after reading earlier reviews. Booking.com sent out an automatic message about how the reception might not be open at all times, but it was followed by another, less automatic message about how my selected check-in time of 3PM is accepted. So it was a little bit confusing, but needed no extra action. My one-minute check-in at 3:05 was easy and friendly.
It's an old building with old plumbing and not very thick walls, so some level of noise is to be expected at almost all hours. Not very loud, but still present. The shower cubicle and the chairs are a little bit more worn than in the official pictures, but everything is still clean.

Basic accommodation in an excellent location. Directly in old town square and everything is walkable. Staff was very friendly. Rooms are basic (beds chairs wardrobe windows) but perfect for a base for a long layover. Excellent rates.

I had a room facing the town square. There are bright spotlights that shine right into the room. Although there are curtains this still made for bad sleep. The halls echo so you can her everything in your room, including late night revelers climbing the stairs to their own room. Very friendly staff and very clean room, but the mattress is a piece of thin foam. Love the high ceilings and parquet floors.

The Archdiocese of Kaunas converted part of its property into a guesthouse, and this is probably the best deal in the city. The rooms are large with very high ceilings. The renovation was carried out just a few years ago so everything is clean and functioning. The guesthouse is quiet and good for families. The location is excellent because the guesthouse is situated on the main square of the old town. Meals are not served, but there are several good restaurants within a few minutes walk. Because this is a small guesthouse, a front desk receptionist is not always available. We arrived in the late afternoon on a Saturday and had to telephone the hotel staff to come and meet us, but this was a minor inconvenience. This is not a hotel for a romantic honeymoon or a business trip. However, if you are travelling for sightseeing with your family, this place is great value for its price. The room prices are ridiculously low. I strongly recommend staying here.

The receptionist was charming and we muddled along well in sign language. The room was airy, clean and suitably simple. The location is amazing, right in the heart of the old town - so long as you are happy to have summer music and general happiness going on outside your window. And the parking system works really well. Lots of places to eat nearby. No breakfast, but we found lovely bakery that also did excellent coffee which we could sit outside on Vilneus Street (on the left, brick building with black door ... Down a couple of steps)
There was just one tiny problem. The double bed was tiny: narrow and short. We are both under 5'10", and I found the bed too short. We both wear medium clothing and were decidedly cozy.

Stayed one night in early June. We found this place while researching for a hotel with car parking. Firstly let me say this is not everyones cup of tea, this is not a luxury hotel, it is more like accomodation on campus at a university college. So if you are looking for room service and the like look elsewhere.
The place itself is situated right near the old town square, It is located in the Churchs main buildings for the region which is a beautiful old set of buildings, courtyards and churches just near the old town square, it is a fantastic location to explore the old town of Kaunas.
We arrived by rental car and were given a pass by the receptionist to put on the dashboard so that we could park right in front of the building in the restricted area without worrying about getting a ticket. Car was safe overnight. The receptionist is very helpful. There are no lifts in the buiding. the building itself has great character.
There is no breakfast and you are told when booking, as it is owned by the church, that you can't consume alcohol in the room, so it is not a party place and perfect for couples after peace and quiet or families. The reception is not manned 24 hours, but you do get a key and can come and go as you like. There is no lift in the building.
The room is very very basic but big, clean and included satelite TV with English channels, and also has a good/basic bathroom set up. Beds were a little lumpy. There is free water dispenser downstairs which we were grateful for. It included internet. We were in a room facing the town square side and it was quiet as the place is located far enough from bars that you cannot hear them.
For what it is - a guesthouse, overall a handy little place and the best thing is its super cheap! We can recommend.

We have been here for three nights. The place is easy to find, right at the end of the main square of the Old Town. Just footsteps from the Christmas Market, restaurants, bars and minimarkets. The reception is not open 24/7, but staff is friendly and helpful. The lovely girl booked for us a taxi for the early flight we had to take. The huge room for your breakfast (not available on site) is equiped with kettle, microwave oven, fridge and of course mugs, plates and cutlery. Complimentary coffee and tea available. The room with a nice wooden floor, high ceiling and huge windows was big and airy, very clean and warm. The bathroom simple, but clean. Bring your own shower gel shampoo, as there is only a hand soap dispenser. Hairdryer available at reception on request. The building was very quiet as quiet is all the area. BUT saturday night the club next door can be annoying... we were able to hear the bass of the music till 4am!!! (luckily we had to leave at that time)

This is a very simple and excellent value for money guesthouse, it is not a hotel. you will pay as little as 12 pounds per night for a room in the guesthouse in the Old Town of Kaunas.It is clean and very simple, with shared bathrooms and showers. There is no breakfast and there no facilities as such. if you are on a budget and want to stay somewhere quiet and simple, this is an excellent place.
It can be noisy if there are events on like New Year's Eve so plan ahead.

Great value for money, next to the riverside and the main street in old town, restaurants, bars and galleries at your doorstep. Cute minimal interior and peaceful atmosphere. Very clean. Really enjoyed my stay. Great for a solo traveller.
