The original frame design does date back to Soviet years, but it's been thoroughly refurbished and upgraded. Superb views, a park just outside and peace and quiet. Ciurlionio Street is one of the poshest and nicest leafy alleys in Vilnius, US Embassy at one end, Japanese Embassy in the middle and CP at the park end.

Yes, you would not go there on foot from the Old Town, not after a few beers anyway, but it's 10 minutes by taxi maximum, and taxis are very cheap in Vilnius.

However, if you are into nightlife and want to go back to hotel on foot, Europa or Radisson are better choices.

for exercise and picture taking, i did walk from the cp to old trown one afternoon
its doable
but to be honest, i did take a cab back to the hotel

and because of the hotel's location between and around the embassies
its extremely safe to walk
