A really excellent, superior 3-star hotel offering facilities usually associated with those of a 4-star, the Karolina Hotel offers superb value for money. Located no more than 7 minutes' drive from Vilnius city centre (and honestly, taxis are fantastically inexpensive!), the Karolina invites guests to enjoy comfortable, tastefully decorated accommodation as well as a wide range of public facilities. 85 guestrooms include satellite television, direct dial telephone, DSL Internet connection and mini-bars as well as offering guests the chance of choosing between smoking and non-smoking rooms. The elegant in-house restaurant overlooks the hotel's private garden with views across to a pine park and sunny summer terrace, and features a variety of contemporary Lithuanian and international dishes. The lobby bar is a good place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or an evening drink (trying "Krupnikas" is a must for everybody!), but what sets the Karolina aside from other 3-star hotels, are the fantastic leisure facilities which include sauna with a marble pool (complimentary for hotel guests), 4 outdoor tennis courts, 9 bowling alleys (!), billiards and a bowling bar.
