Had lunch here with a group. It was cool outside, but the heater made the restaurant feels like one big oven. We asked the first waitress if they can turn the heater down a bit. The waitress didn't even let us finish the sentence and said 'No' rudely while turning away. I thought it was maybe the culture here, but since there are other waitresses way nicer than this first one, I doubt so.
The food was so-so, the soup was nice but main course has no taste at all. The fish has fishbones all over and was hard to eat. Finally, the ice cream was too sweet and because of the heater inside the ice cream melted even before it reaches our table.
I hope the restaurant can listen to its customer more. If there are customers sweating as hell and trying to tell you it's hot in here, they shouldn't have to go wait for their food outside the restaurant and comeback in just to quickly finish it with no good explanation other than 'no'. Please, try to respect our needs even if we are asians with broken English.

Read moreThis has fairly basic facilities, reasonably clean but very small rooms. The restaurant was adequate, don't expect gourmet and breakfast is exceedingly basic and you get the feeling they aren't really interested in offering breakfast. It is $15.00 Lts extra, no menu and not offered until 9 am. The grounds are brilliant and would be perfect if you have young children although tack some mozzie spray.

It was a good stop driving from Latvia to Vilnius, wanting to visit the Hill of Crosses (a lovely 20-30 minutes walk from Girele) and unfortunately wished we had requested a visit to the airport to see the old soviet planes. This has to be organised 1 week minimum in advance. Will do that next time. Basic accommodation but priced...
Read moreThis hotel is very economic, we have stayed on more expensive camp sites! Its fairly quiet and quite remote. We stayed there specifically to visit the Hill of Crosses. Which we did, it's just down the road and well worth the visit. Stopped off here midday visited the hill of crosses in the afternoon then on to Riga the next day. ||Seems to me most people just overnight here, our room was basic but good for the price. ||Free internet in the hotel restaurant but quality of internet very frustrating to use, I wish hotels would not provide internet at all than to provide poor on/off internet. We gave up in the end which was a nuisance because we wanted to find accommodation for the next night... ||Bit of a problem with mosquitoes whilst we were there but nothing...
