CONCLUSION

This is actually my second time to visit Vilnius, the first one being in November 2016 where I stayed at the Radisson BLU Royal Astorija. Having diamond status at Hilton is really very important as I got an upgrade to a better room with a balcony with fantastic views of the Cathedral. I could not ask for more. Of course, the room was luxurious, with toiletries from French company Diptyque. The breakfast buffet offering was one of the best we´ve had, where they also had cava and ala carte menu. The pool was a big plus. Lastly, the staff were all friendly and helpful. This is no doubt the best hotel in Vilnius 👍
