Gabija Hotel Spa & Conferences

This is definitely not a 4 star hotel. Not even close. In a 4 star hotel you except all rooms to be at least at a 4 star level. Apparently, according to the reception, we booked a "simple" room. Which means no shampoo or conditioner or any other toiletries for you. 2 star accommodation in a supposedly 4 star hotel. The rooms are quite small, which isn't a big problem. The walls are paper thin - any conversation in the adjacent rooms can be heard loud and clear . Bath towels are old and paper thin too. Bed is half decent. Pillows are cheap. The only pro is the M-eat restaurant. We only had breakfast. Food was good and service was amazing. Thank you to all restaurant staff.

It was hot and air conditioning was not working properly. When asked to change the rooms, the answer was that there are few rooms with proper air conditioning but “ people are coming” there for a weekend. That made us feel like we are just a “chopped liver”. Maybe long ago it was a good hotel, not anymore.

M-eat restaurant. Waiting for food for 2 hours. Half an hour after we ordered, er were told that they didn’t have the beef we ordered. After that we waited another hour more. Half an hour after we finished eating, we had to fetch the personnell to ba able to pay. Noone asked for if we wanted something to drink, or if we wanted dessert.

Hotel is in the nice location, near Birtutė’s park, surrounded by pine trees. We got a room with a view to a yard, which was also really nice. It takes about 5-10min to reach Basanavičiaus street by foot and about 15min to reach the sea. As we were visiting the hotel in winter, there weren’t too much people on workdays and only a slight increase on the weekends. Room is nice and clean with a carpets all over the floor, halls are also calming, with a cozy lamps and silent classic music playing in the background. One of the most unique things were the speaker installed in the bathroom’s ceilings. So, whenever you watch TV, you can hear everything even when you go to the bathroom or go for a wash. Room has a kettle and coffee which is free and a minibar which is charged. Another great thing is the bed - super comfy, soft and gives you the feeling of sleeping like on the clouds. However, the were some minuses. I have to agree with a previous visitors that the hotel has overall an old vibe. It isn’t a modern hotel, even though it has some renovated areas (such as the clothing rooms in the spa area). Breakfast were good, the only thing missing were juice:(. Pool area was good as well, but quite small, not adapted for many people. The bigger pool was cold and the hot tub way too hot at times. Steam bath was my favorite, really nice and warm, not too hot, neither too cold. However, saunas were open only after 6pm, which impacts spa experience in a poor way as you cannot enjoy them during the day time. Overall i’m quite satisfied with this visit, but hotel still has room for improvement and development.

Good location, big rooms. That’s all. Poor breakfasts, cold pools, cold hot tub, small pool zone when com’s ten and more people’s, food in restaurant Meat wasn’t good, aperol spritz prepared with fly, poor service

Breakfast: very poor, nothing with gluten free, coffee cold, juice not drinkable at all. Spa zone: cos sauna works only from 18 till 21 its too crowded, too many people. Pool and jakuzi too cold. The only good thing was room size. Its big and with good beds.

Modern hotel with spa which I couldnt test unfortunately. Large room, clean and large bed. Small bottle of water for 2.50€ is a bit exagerated. Breakfast was ok. Lunch at M.EAT was excellent. No bar and restaurant closes 9pm (maybe because it is low season). Overall good place to stay in Palanga and not far from airport.

Visiting with a group of friends for a weekend trip in Palanga. We enjoyed great, rich breakfast, spa, staff! Renewed hotel! Will be planing to come back in august with family and friends for a few days.

Hospitality is a people's business and the Gabija Staff in Palanaga is embracing just that - very well done. All staff interactions have been friendly, professional and thus very pleasant. Rooms are functional and clean - we had a room towards the back yard and thus the location was very quiet. The hotel is locaed perfectly - be that for a walk through the park or for going out to dinner or renting a bike to explore the city. All there and coupled with top-notch service. Great experience overall and would certainly return.
