I was treated at the Draugystes sanatorium 3 times. Once again I was convinced of the right choice of the sanatorium. I am satisfied with everything: location, quality of accommodation, accommodation, food, and most importantly, quality of treatment. I would like to note the friendly attitude of all the staff, the highly professional work of the staff of the medical building, especially the wonderful medical workers in the mud therapy room, the excellent massage therapist Irina Sociene (I’m not sure about the correct spelling of her last name), the pool staff led by Rimma (unfortunately, I don’t know her last name). The most important result of the stay and treatment is a positive result. Thanks a lot! I recommend this sanatorium in terms of price-quality ratio.Positives
I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the staff of the sanatorium for their excellent professional work, friendliness, responsiveness, and excellent service. Wonderful, varied food. Sanatorium Draugyste is a sanatorium where the price and quality of treatment and service coincide in the best possible way. The picturesque place where it is located perfectly complements all the positive aspects of this sanatorium. Neman River, pine trees, clean air! The territory of the sanatorium somehow smoothly turns into a park, where my friend and I went for a walk every evening. It seemed as if the whole of Druskininkai was a city in a park. I have the warmest memories of my stay there.Negatives
There are no negative memories.Positives
Responsive staff, good rehabilitation for people with musculoskeletal diseases. Excellent location of the resort.Negatives
The organization of leisure time for patients and vacationers remains unchanged.Positives
Very good sanatorium. The staff is friendly, any problems were solved instantly. Change the procedures, please, the girl (I don’t know her name) who does this was polite and patiently fulfilled our requests. We would especially like to mention the maid (we had No. 203), at every meeting she asked what was needed and what was missing, very responsible. My wife and I are happy.Negatives
There is billiards, but it is not equipped. For older clients, billiards would not be a problem.Positives
Proximity to the bus station and all attractions and shops; cozy rooms, park area and fresh air; buffets with a varied selection of dishes. Mostly friendly and friendly staff, with the exception of the bartender from the herbal bar.Negatives
When staying for 14 nights, I first received 74 treatment procedures instead of the 84 stated on the website, after contacting the attending physician, and then the head physician, they added 4 more procedures to me, which still did not reach the promised 84. Bonus anti-stress procedure “Keep Calm” "was carried out only after my appeal to the administration.Positives
Positive attentive staff and the spa hotel is located in a picturesque place, close to the park, supermarket, market, river .. the cleaning in the rooms and corridors is very high quality ..Negatives
The promotion showed a room in the central building, but I was placed in a small room in the colonnade where the Internet does not work good.. it would be nice to indicate the room number and its type when booking, i.e. specify ..Positives
A beautiful green place, close to a walking path near the Neman River. Accommodation is fast, the room is clean and modernly renovated, there is a fan. The outdoor pool on site was open and clean. Linen and towels were changed in a timely manner, cleaning was done daily. The TV worked, the Internet was available. The shower was ok. The city center is accessible on foot. The loggia is spacious, the cleaning was carried out. The food was quite decent, buffet style. Friendly staff, wonderfully decorated corridors in the main building, paintings everywhere.Negatives
Of course, the heat was to blame - but the rather modest flower beds were not watered and looked deplorable. The area was rarely cleaned; there was construction going on nearby (near the Villa Colonada) and noise was disturbing. The library is depressing; there are rows of books from the Classics and Contemporaries series, etc. There are no periodicals or newspapers. The TV was on. This did not spoil the stay, although in *EGLE* FLOWERS REIGN, the flower beds are often updated, the grass is regularly mowed, it is very clean.Positives
We were there for two weeks in July 2019. The impressions are the most positive from the procedures, from the work of the staff, and from the food. We had a two-room apartment, so our accommodation was quite spacious. The sanatorium is located in a picturesque park, near the river, within walking distance of the resort boulevard.Negatives
A bit boring, almost no entertainment.Positives
well organized treatment and foodNegatives
The medical base is rather weak. There is room for improvement.Positives
Everything was fine, the procedures were good, the rooms were clean, the food was good, thank you very much for the food and service in the dining room. Overall I liked it a lot.Negatives
Some staff have no idea how to behave with clients/vacationers, they are irritated, they speak arrogantly, the doctor did not pay much attention, he sat and wrote a lot, prescribed many water treatments without asking or explaining to me. When I asked to change, he said that the procedures cannot be changed. Bathing every day is absurd.Positives
The location of the sanatorium is excellent, the food is varied and satisfying, the living conditions are excellent, rooms are cleaned daily (except weekends), towels are changed every other day, bed linen is changed once every five days, honey. The staff is polite, there are 5-6 treatment procedures per day, all according to a clear individual schedule.Negatives
There was no air conditioning in the rooms, and the days were very hot; fans and open windows helped all day and night. I would like the range of treatment procedures to be wider, so that the choice is not so limited, and I would like to hear more detailed doctor’s recommendations.Positives
All liked it ! Food, service, procedures are all excellent. The living conditions are all good. We'll definitely come back again.Positives
Everything is great, treatment and attitude. We were given a much better room than we booked.Negatives
There are no negative pointsPositives
Not a bad treatment base, new baths for underwater massage, more advanced ones for pearl baths.Negatives
This is not the first time we have gone to the sanatorium, but this is the first time we have encountered such a negligent attitude of the maid towards her work, for 10 days of staying in apartment 214, the first 5 days the cleaning was not done at all, after the remark I did the cleaning with a vacuum cleaner 2 times, the maid came and instead... to do wet cleaning, she asked, “Are you doing well?”, we answered yes, everything is fine with us, she took the trash and left, and we remained open-mouthed in surprise. The linen was changed only once. Regarding food, the cook cooks wonderfully for one shift, Another cook on another shift puts a lot of salt in the food and does not cook tasty food.Answer from Spa Hotel Draugyste

We all, people, know that nothing is perfect, you can find your pros and cons everywhere. Where to begin? Perhaps on the plus side. And so - Druskininkai, the Draugyste sanatorium is the oldest and first sanatorium in this city. Built in 1953. The architecture of those years has been preserved in its original form. The central entrance with columns, high ceilings, large windows, wide window sills, huge doors. The furnishings of the rooms (we lived in apartments) remained the same, but now it is, as they say, “vintage style”. In the salon there is a traditional sideboard with crystal wine glasses and vases, an antique dinner service... in the bedroom there is a large chest of drawers with a mirror... It’s as if we were in the past, in the life that we remembered well from photographs in old family albums. I liked it. Nostalgia for childhood... Despite the almost 70 years of age of the sanatorium, everything is honey. The equipment is already quite modern. I was very pleased with the attitude of all the medical staff towards the patients. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a doctor or a nurse, a physiotherapist or a secretary, massage therapists or SPA center workers - everyone was VERY PLEASANT TO COMMUNICATE. It seems that they are selected for work after an exam (as they say now), for tolerance. They always greet you with a smile, are interested in your well-being, how comfortable you feel. If anything happens, they always meet you, you can say that they please you in everything. We met a woman there who had visited several sanatoriums in different countries (we were there for the first time), and she said that compared to other similar institutions, honey. The staff at the Draugyste sanatorium is the nicest. All are professionals in their field. I also noted this. But still, relationships with people are also a very important thing. I especially liked the masseuse - Vilma. My routine included a classic massage every day, so Vilma and I saw each other often and even became friends. After the massage they could chat about something of their own, feminine... When they said goodbye, she said. that he really hopes that we will see each other again. There were much more positives than negatives, so we were satisfied with the rest and procedures. Of course, they were busy with us from morning until evening. Finally, someone took charge of us))). And we liked the town of Druskininkai. Quiet, calm, people are friendly, the air is clean, very green. There are many parks, forests, a river nearby, a lake a 15-minute walk, a beautiful Neman embankment, an abundance of flowers, a musical fountain, museums, two boats, and a larger boat, cable cars... There are places to go for a walk. For retirees and those who don’t like fuss, this town is simply a paradise.Negatives
Well, I’ll also note some of the disadvantages. The outside of the building is long overdue for restoration. The paint, in some places, has already peeled off; the columns at the central entrance need to be painted again, because the lower part of the columns has already become a dirty gray shade, and the upper part is lighter. Some balconies urgently need to be strengthened; the plaster is crumbling and going out on them is dangerous. Above our balcony, plaster and stones were falling off in pieces, all this fell onto our balcony and sitting there was not pleasant and even dangerous. I brought this to the attention of our cleaning lady, and she reported it to the administration. The director of the sanatorium and his assistant came quickly, looked, wrote something down in their notebook, and promised that tomorrow the craftsmen would come and repair the lower part of the upper balcony. I was glad for their efficiency, but no one came. And, God forbid, one of the patients goes out onto this balcony and falls down, or someone gets hit in the head with a piece of plaster if they go out onto the balcony of the room where we lived (214). Further, there were no toiletries in the bathrooms. There was only liquid soap poured into a small container, and it barely flowed out. We lived in an apartment, and hoped that for that amount they would provide us with shampoo and disposable shower caps. For some reason, the hairdryer was in the bedroom. The water pressure in the shower left much to be desired.Answer from Spa Hotel Draugyste
