Vytautas Mineral Spa

Quite and wonderful place

One night in February 2025 OK conditions, average SPA Hotel.

TRAGEDY. First, we were given probably the smallest room in the entire hotel. We thought, well, we won’t be spending much time in it, so it’s not a big deal. But we had no idea that the bed would be only 140 cm wide for two people. The pillows were old, worn out, and small. The sound insulation was nonexistent – we could constantly hear someone walking above us. In the morning, kids were running and screaming in the corridor, and no one was stopping them. The shower in the room was a disaster – when you turned on the water, it squeaked and sprayed in all directions, as if it was taking its last breath. The dispensers for shower gel and shampoo were broken. The carpet was in terrible condition. The spa area had a pool with two swimming lanes, one overcrowded jacuzzi, and another small pool that was empty because the water was cold. On the first day, out of four saunas, one was out of order. The spa area was far too small for the number of guests – it was impossible to relax, with kids screaming like wild animals and jumping into the pool onto people’s heads. I didn’t even see a lifeguard or any staff member supervising to keep the kids in check. The only good thing about this hotel was the breakfast. But since we couldn’t get a good night’s sleep or relax, we decided not to stay for the second night and went home instead. At the reception, the staff member only asked if we were leaving because of their service. We explained that it wasn’t the staff’s fault but rather the hotel itself, where the price-to-quality ratio was completely unreasonable. The receptionist didn’t even ask what went wrong or try to fix anything—she just said, “You had a voucher, so you still need to pay extra.” It’s strange when no effort is made to understand the issues or improve the experience. The total cost of the stay was €330, which is a lot, especially considering there are many much better places available for less. We will never return and definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Terrible service and overpriced. They manipulated the bill upon our arrival. Beware what you pay and for. You can read more comments in Lithuanian https://rekvizitai.vz.lt/imone/spa_birstonas/atsiliepimai/ and then understand more about this place.

We came for a weekend getaway. Parking was busy and we were fortunate to find a last spot. We decided to try the largest room that wasn’t a suite and we loved it! It was located on the 3rd floor about ~10m from the lift tucked independently in a corner of the large lobby. It was beautifully furnished in (I think) mid-century modern, tan smooth wood with dark and gold accents, and towering floor to ceiling heavy black-out velvet curtains. There was plenty of well-built, integrated storage in the angular room we found comfortable to navigate. Bath was spacious with a tub and all was clean. We forgot toothpaste, which front desk provided (a small one packed with a toothbrush) kindly. The room was well-soundproofed and we were pleased. Visitors typically come for the spa, and we were no exception. I’ve heard Lithuanians gripe that it can get too busy in the spa area, but it wasn’t an issue for us. I only wish the pool was a little wider. There are enough spots to engage us without queueing and we spent about 3 hours in total without lounging on the many chairs, and instead rotated amongst the pool, jacuzzi, hydrotherapy jets, saunas, steam room and reflexology path. It was lovely and we felt amazing and reenergised after. The restaurant is a diner by day and quite romantic at night. Food isn’t as expensive as Ergo Spa’s and I thought it was more satisfying. We were fortunate to catch a wonderful live sax performance in the restaurant too. Overall, all was above expectations ❤️
