ROOMA Apartments Boutique Old Town

A Scandinavian flat behind an Old Town façade

ROOMA takes a historic building on Aušros Vartų gatvė — the street that runs up from the Gates of Dawn — and fills it with calm, contemporary Scandinavian interiors. The apartments feel spacious and thoughtfully put together, and each comes with a proper kitchenette, fast Wi-Fi and its own washing and drying machines, which makes it the rare Old Town address where a week's stay is as easy as a weekend.

Everything runs on self check-in, and the hosts have it down to a fine art: clear instructions ahead of arrival and quick, helpful replies to any question. If you take the breakfast option, it's served at a partner restaurant across the street and gets consistently good reviews for quality.

Good to know

These suit couples and independent travellers who like a design-led base with a fridge of their own — cook a breakfast, do a wash mid-trip and walk out into the Old Town. Being serviced apartments rather than a hotel, there's no lobby, bar or round-the-clock desk, so come expecting a beautiful flat rather than hotel theatre.

The caveats are practical. The historic building has no lift, so heavy cases mean flights of stairs. Breakfast being across the street is a minor bother in cold or wet weather. Light sleepers may catch some street noise with the windows open on this central stretch, and the map pin can sit slightly off, so the entrance takes a moment to find first time.

• Check current rates and availability on the hotel's own site before booking.
