Lithuania Hotel Tips - Hot to Save on Accommodation

Lithuania is an attractive small country that offers plenty of things to see and do, but can become costly without careful planning. There are some strategies you can employ to save money on accommodation.

Tipping isn't customary in Lithuania; however, you should reward those providing outstanding services by tipping taxi drivers or hotel staff accordingly.

1. Stay in the City Centre

Lithuania's bustling capital city offers visitors a charming historic old town, vibrant street art installations, cozy cafes and an exciting nightlife that attracts backpackers. Explore UNESCO World Heritage sites while feasting on locally produced cuisine or discovering some of Baltic's premier museums.

To experience Vilnius at its best, book a hotel nearby iconic sites like Gediminas Tower or Palace of the Republic. There are plenty of boutique hotels located close enough to these popular tourist spots for an easy walk-to stay experience.

Staying in the center of Vilnius can help budget travelers save on accommodation costs while exploring this historic city on foot. Tipping is not expected here; however a small tip would be appreciated in recognition of exceptional service received.

2. Book Early

Whenever traveling to Lithuania, it's advisable to book your hotel room early in order to secure the best rate on accommodations and take advantage of any potential price drops that may arise after having made a reservation. Booking early also gives you time to benefit from any potential price drops that might occur once your stay has begun.

3. Book a Non-Smoking Room

Lithuania, like much of Eastern Europe, is not known for being an expensive travel destination. Hostels and budget hotels can often be found for less than $20 a night while food and drink costs are relatively inexpensive; expect to pay approximately $2 for a beer or $8 for an order of Lithuania's famed cepelinai dishes.

One week's travel expenses in Lithuania should average approximately EUR644 per person, according to past traveler expenses. Traveling as a couple can significantly lower this price as both will split costs like accommodations and meals - though keep in mind additional travel costs like visas and airfare as these will add additional costs to consider. Although tipping in Lithuania isn't common practice, exceptional service deserves acknowledgement with 5-10% tip left in restaurants if applicable.

4. Book a Room with a View

Lithuania offers spectacular cityscape views from hotel rooms. One such hotel, Radisson Blu Hotel Lietuva, features panoramic vistas from all rooms within its walls.

Stikliai Hotel, a boutique hotel inspired by Elizabethan England, features luxurious rooms featuring regal carpeting, drapes and four-poster beds with four-poster beds; while suites provide spacious living areas and deep soaking tubs.

For maximum value for your travel dollar, try booking a room with a view during shoulder season - according to Pruvo this will save up to 40% in trip costs!

5. Book a Suite

If you want to treat yourself during your trip to Lithuania, there are plenty of luxurious suite options available. One example is Artagonist Hotel; a boutique hotel which features rooms designed with distinctive themes. These spaces encourage reflection with striking murals, classic design features, and glass bathrooms.
