Are there any hotels with a 24h check-in option in Vilnius, Lithuania?
I am travelling to Vilnius, Lithuania and will arrive at the airport at around 9am. I will have more luggage than is comfortable to walk around with, so I plan on going to a hotel directly from the airport.
The problem is that I can't seem to find any hotels with 24h check-in options. Nearly all that I have come across have a check-in time starting from 2pm or 14:00.
Therefore, I am wondering if anyone knows of a hotel with a 24h check-in option?
Best Answer
Almost all hotels have a check out between 10am-12pm and a check-in time between 2pm and 4pm and they use the time in between to clean and refit the rooms.
The only exception are so-called "day use" rooms where you book a room for a certain time in the day, but this is pretty rare and I didn't see anything in Vilnius.
Some options:
- Ask for an "early check in". Some hotels allow this but it's hit or miss and sometimes you have to pay extra. 9am is unlikely to fly though.
- Just pay for an extra day. You can certainly check in at 9am, you just need to pay for that arrival day.
- Ask the hotel to store your luggage until check in time. Most hotels will do this, some do charge for it.

Can you check-in anytime in a hotel?
Virtually every hotel, from the smallest country inn to the largest urban skyscraper, has a set check-in time, generally somewhere around midafternoon. As long as you've confirmed that you're coming, you can check in anytime after that point with no trouble, even if you don't arrive until midnight.Can you arrive later than check-in time in hotel?
For this reason, most hotels have a check-in end time. Otherwise, it will state Your room is guaranteed for late arrival, usually in cases where they have already taken the payment, or at least enough for the first night. You have not specified the end of check-in time, which sometimes is not even provided!Can I get a hotel before 3pm?
The standard time for check-in at a hotel is 3pm or 4pm. However, if a hotel has your room ready for you before that time, they often will allow you early check-in and access to your room.Top 10 hotels in Vilnius: best 4 star hotels in Vilnius, Lithuania

Answer 2
If you can consider dropping your standards, hostels regularily offer this kind of service.
I have been in quite a lot of hostels in eastern Europe over the years, and have yet to find one where 24-hour check in (and access to your room/bed) wasn't offered by default.
Yes, it's not the feel and calm of your own furnished room in a hotel, but better than wandering around at 2 am without a bed if need be.
Depending on the hostel it might be possible to get an entire room (some offer those, for others it might be in an ok price range for you to rent out an entire 4 bed room or so to have your peace).
Maybe for the first night after a flight it's an ok compromise for you. Do make sure they have lockers if you travel with any valuable equipment (laptops etc.)

Vilnius City Hotel states on their site that you can check in for free two hour before normal check-in time, as long as you book directly with them. I believe that is at noon, since I made a test reservation, and it was stated that check-in is from 2 pm.
From https://www.vilniuscityhotel.com/reservation/
"4. Early check-in or late check-out.
Our direct customers can always ask for an extra two hours before check-in or check-out. It’s free."
Another option is Grand Hotel Kempinski. They have what you asked for - a 24-hour check-in option. Meaning check-in anytime, you can stay 24 hours. Valid Sunday to Thursday. Terms apply.
"Take advantage of our “24 – Like Never Before” offer, which allows flexible check-in and check-out times for stays from Sunday to Thursday. Choose any desired check-in time and check out at exactly the same hour the next day.*"
In case that doesn't work they have another option. The package "Weekends at Kempinski"
The offer includes:
"Early check in from 10:00 o'clock Late check out until 15:00 o'clock ...'
