Egle Sanatorium in Birstonas

This review is based on a total four visits, with the last two the most prominent for the evaluation (Both of us are of silver client status). The procedures were usually suitable for the price and the medical staff was professional and friendly enough (at least if you have someone speaking Lithuanian with you). English works well with about half of the staff Russian with another half. You should not depend on German. The location next to the river is also quite nice and parking was usually no problem. A shop is a couple of minutes by foot, as are some restaurants.
What makes me give this negative rating is that, for the second time with about one year in between, the organization was among the worst I have ever experienced anywhere else. The other commenters' remarks regarding waiting times of more than one hour for rooms or even more than a day for procedure plans I can 100% approve. To make our arrival more efficient this time we decided to do the doctor appointment by phone before coming there. This had the advantage that we had a procedure plan ready when arriving. However, some procedures we could still not take because at 18 o'clock we still were not given a room to use or rather we were given a dirty, lived-in room. Thus, there was no way to change clothes before the procedure, leading to a necessary rebooking of the procedure with respective waiting times. In any other establishment this would have been grounds for an apology by management. However, this level of missing guest orientation they do not yet (or no longer) have achieved at Egle. Consequently, we are highly doubting of returning in the future, in particular, since there are several comparable alternatives next door.
The assessment of it being a Sanatorium rather than a spa, I would also second, however, I would add that it is communicated accordingly, at least in part.
Consequently, the rooms are mostly of decent quality and comparable to 2-3 star accommodation in a European comparison.

I never recommend
Absolutely no organization, only upon arrival, it takes 1.5 days to register, waste of free time and sit, just collecting money NOT for entrance and rest but for sitting and registration
Absolutely poor service, No scale to review

I wanted to cancel my reservation the minute I came in to check in. The Soviet style receptionist didn’t greet us, was rude with a smug face for no reason, refused to answer questions and help to fill out a 3 question survey. After complaining to the manager, we were accused of being problematic customers. Very unprofessional. The staff at the spa reception, spa and restaurant was very friendly, but the mood was ruined at the check in and I was ready to turn around and rebook someplace else.

Just horible! Checkin takes longer than 3h!!! Everything else makes no sense when you start in the manner like that.

This place turned to be so horrible, it took us 2 hours to check in, rude Renata did not bother herself to help us, asked for more money to ensure my mom who is pensionist and came to cure her back does not sleep on the sofa. We missed a lunch that day. Simona on the reception couldn't place the treatments on time and started to shout at us

For all this we pay almost 500 eur a night, price range of top spas around the Europe

Horrible calls center work. I did rezervation, when the date came they lost it. So i had to do all ower again, going to doctor including. Now I can not remeber if i have to come tommorow or day after tommorow and nobody is picking up the phone. So far I have spend an hour on line calling them 5 times. And nothing. Could be i will loose my appointment again,because of theyr bad job.

We booked a stay at this SPA facility and wanted to spend a nice time here with my wife in autumn. I also have to say that we really enjoy being here and this time everything seemed to be going well, except for the night of the 9th day, we were told that a lot of people would be arriving from our beloved country that night and that The plane is delayed, hence the night action. What we didn't know was that they were military men, 90 people. and they are very loud and in a civilian facility. You can't imagine that all hell is going on here.
Hotel used to be quiet 😞
