The Monk's Bunk Kaunas

Top location, staff really nice, clean hostel (no shoe policy, which is great), big room (though, I miss curtains on the upper bench). Very well decorated adn very clean, which makes people behave respectfully and get easly in touch which each other. Big locker for free, no padlock necessary.

The host(ess) was exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Perfect location right on the pedestrian street with restaurants, coffeeshops and supermarket just a few steps away. No breakfast is available but they have a fully equipped kitchen if you wanted to cook or store your food. Also a coffeeshop nearby opens at 7.00 and the supermarket at 7.30. Bed was very comfortable and the quilt very cosy. In the room you get one personal locker with key. The team at reception were very nice and helpful especially Sigita who gave me tips on events and places of interest as soon as I checked-in.

The hostel’s entrance is in a run down courtyard that makes you feel like you are entering an abandoned building. It is confusing if a taxi drops you off at the back (not at front since it’s a pedestrian zone) as there are no visible signs and can make you feel not safe especially if you come late at night. Also, only two restrooms are available for the whole hostel, one with toilet and shower and the other one with toilet and a bath. The one with the bath unfortunately has a primitive lock that didn’t close properly and twice someone opened the door while I was inside even though I had put on the latch. Maybe it’s time To upgrade that lock.

Central location, very nice receptionist

On the main street so there was LOTS of noise from the outside and due to no AC and only one fan in the room it was really warm inside with the window closed and if the window opened there were drunk people screaming outside
