Recommended as a great option for staying at Panevėžys
Pros: The Smelyne has very well maintained rooms. The hotel and rooms does not have most modern features, but everything is in perfect working condition with a comfortable bed . The staff is very friendly and helpful. I was staying for 2 weeks and mostly working nights, during days I was able to sleep just fine with low noise levels.
Cons: During the 2 weeks I stayed there was one evening there was a party hosted which generated quite some noise during the evening time, this happened only once during the 2 week and it was not a big deal overall though.

Short stay in Panevežys
Pros: Very clean and cozy. In our room we had a kettle with a tea and instant coffee, towels and shower equipment which is very nice. Overall Smėlynė is at a very good place near the city centre. Breakfast was also very tasty!
Cons: Nothing, everything was amazing

Very pleasant and well-maintained hotel with functional A/C
Pros: We’ve stayed at this hotel many times over the years and have always had a consistently pleasant experience. The hotel is very clean and tidy, with polite staff who are always helpful and welcoming. The rooms are spacious, well-maintained, and have very comfortable beds. One standout feature is the air pump in each room, which cools the space exceptionally well in hot weather—far better than the so-called “A/C” you often find in hotels across Eastern Europe, where a fan blows but the cooling never actually kicks in. Here, it really works, and it makes a big difference. The hotel also has a good dining room with a varied breakfast offering something for everyone. In the evenings, if the hotel restaurant isn’t open, there are plenty of good restaurants nearby, and the town center is just a short walk away. Another plus is the safe and secure outdoor car park—very convenient for those traveling by car. Highly recommended, and we’ll certainly be returning again.
