Trakai

Very friendly and kind landlady. She gave us a better room than we had booked, since she had a spare room in the evening. She also gave us recommendations for eating and shopping for groceries (she doesn’t speak English, tho).

Room was nice, had a separate bathroom and toilet. It was a bit chilly for me in the room but it was actually good for sleeping.

Good price and location as well!



Nice landlady

We three British middle-aged guys booked ahead from Vilnius via B.c.. the Monday night before the Tuesday stay.

We arrived at Trakai station at around 14:15 and made our leisurely way beside the lake along the wild flower and waterfowl populated reed beds. It was so relaxing after a week in Kaunas and Vilnius.

We arrived at 15:15 (stoping frequently to take loads of pics) and found this detached modern wooden house by the main road near a statue on an island.

The door was open and in we ventured. A young tall man with fair English was surprised to see us but greeted us. They had not checked their bookings that morning, fair enough; we should have phoned ahead to confirm. The mum came down (little English) and we were ushered upstairs to room 5. This is obviously a friendly family business and they seem to live upstairs on the second floor and attic.

The light pine decor looked new and all was very clean and belied its three year old (judging by the only three Russian reviews with no pics from 2015) history. The family obviously are very house proud and have added blankets since the grumpy low rating review!

Room 5 at the town side has three beds (two together as a double), thin wardrobe with a few hangers and shelves, small but very useful fridge, cutlery, plates, glass tea mugs, beer glasses, kettle, hair drier, a towel each, lots of pillows and cushions, sofa bed, foot stool, dark curtains (they worked in the morning, unlike most, in keeping the light mostly out), led/plasma TV in top corner, windowsill for nick-nacks and two smoke detectors! Lots of power sockets over the beds (and sofa bed) and one bedside lamp on the bedside table (between the twin/double bed and single. No hooks anywhere to hang jackets. All good though in a relatively tight space but it was not claustrophobic at all. Extra blankets were available in the wardrobe, there was no radiator but the house seemed very well insulated. Fridge was quite quiet overnight and was not disturbing us.

Mum showed us the shared but separate shower room and toilet with sink rooms in first floor corridor, all very clean with soap provided. They overlooked the road but had blackout mirror windows to see out but not in, albeit a little disconcerting! The shower-room had an electrically heated towel rail. The room did not have a bin but there was a large communal bin in the corridor.

As we had been travelling a week already we had accumulated a few kg of clothes that needed a proper wash. A launderette was spotted on a map but we thought we would ask the mum (via the son) if we could pay to have them washed as it was very convenient. They were amenable to do it for free but we insisted we paid and within an hour they were hanging on a rack system in the back garden as the sun was creeping round the sky to catch them later in the evening. A weight off our shoulders for the price of two beers (€5). 

The garden had a big BBQ and bench table, no doubt to have a home-made picnic on using the facilities provided. Breakfast there would have been too cold. We had an early evening coffee (Iki 700m back down the road and a Maxima 200m further) and an Alcohol Free Weissbier by the lake 200m to the west past the coach park, on a jetty watching the wildfowl families. All very peaceful. We avoided the coach parties at the castle (some from Spain!) and had a really nice dusk walk around it after our splendid Georgian meal at Pirosami.

We spent a peaceful night on the narrow but comfortable beds. The road noise was minimal and the fellow guests quiet and no noises were heard from the family above.

There was a wait for the morning loo at 08:30 as I was unlucky. There was no problem at 09:45.

Writing this now I'm hoping to have breakfast on an Eastern shoreline jetty in the sun. The fridge, kettle, crockery and cutlery being extremely useful!

Finishing my review in advance of checking out to upload in the reliable wifi we are all very pleased here and happy to give full marks to this lovely family business who try hard to keep people happy. I'm surprised there are only three reviews after three years!! 

Keep it up! A few hooks on the back of the door would be useful and getting the TV working would be helpful if it is raining outside!
