Visit Vilnius : Stay in a cheap and confortable hostel

The bedroom of 6 people was practical with a bathroom in it. The place is daily cleaned which makes it confortable. The hostel is located near the city and the train station, you can walk or take the bus. If you arrive from the top of the hostel, you can have a beautiful view on the city. What's more, the coffee and tea is free and you can order a croissant for 1.5 euros. The staff is present to answer our questions, they are kind and do their best. I recommend this place for a trip in Vilnius, cheap with a good quality.

A cosy stay. I slept well, and I felt good for some reason in this hostel.

The fireplace. The staff. The design and layout of the hostel itself. Cosy interior. (You feel no cold even when it is -15 degrees Celsius outside!) Quite at night. Lots and lots of board games to choose from. And lots and lots of books to read if you know Lithuanian. (I don't know if they have English books too). Also I like the decorations and aromatic stuff that they put around all over the hostel. Free tea and coffee in the morning between 8 a.m and 10.30 a.m. Very generous. Thank you Downtown Hostel. :D Free soap in the shower. (Another nice compliment) The tap water is good and you can just fill your water bottle from any tap water in the hostel. I really appreciate that! They have a calendar chalked with activities which I found interesting but did not have time for it myself.

Noisy equipment. The shower extractor on the second floor sounds very noisy. There is I think a humidity extractor down in the kitchen area which is also noisy. And above all the air extractor in our room was very noisy. It sounds kind of like a hoover, and sometimes it goes on and off every 2 minutes. Luckily they gave us ear plugs which is the only way to not hear this noisy air extractor and fall asleep. The shower doors on the second floor are flimsy and its difficult to pat down after the shower in private if 2 people are using the showers at the same time. The shower downstairs is perfect however. No problems at all there. My bunk bed was wobbly. I was on the one on top and when the person in the bed below moves around the bunk bed on top shakes. It can be very irritating. It would be great if they can secure the bunk beds to the wall thereby eliminating a lot of the movement. A staff member did not let me put a piece of wood in the fireplace for fun. :p My hand was itching. (Probably I was going to make the fire too hot with more wood burning in the fireplace and she explained that it was good for now.)

Cozy place

Good location with easy access and a quiet environment. Very clean and well-maintained space! I believe it is even more beautiful during the summer.

It was ok. I would not go with the expensive single rooms as facility-wise no improvement

Room lock has issue. Cleanliness is a major concern for me. Location was bit far away.

A calm and a nice place with friendly staff

The location is very good, in a quiet place, and there is a supermarket within a walking distance. The kitchen is well equipped so you can cook your meal easily. The staff is very nice.

The locker is very small, and fits only for a backpack. Moreover, the door of the locker made a lot of noise when opening and closing it…

Absolutely fantastic hostel! Would definitely come again!

Extremely clean! Very nice staff! Utilities were extremely accessible (bathrooms, kitchen, showers, etc.). Nice mini bar at reception too! Overall a very good stay!

If you don’t like walking then this might not be for you. It was roughly a 15 minute walk or 6 minute Bolt scooter ride from Gediminas square which I didn’t mind at all, but some people may.

Very nice hostel near the Old City

This place has a unique atmosphere, very friendly and quiet. There is a kitchen downstairs and a lot of space to sit and relax or to learn/work remotely. The location is just next to the Old city and to Uzupis. There is a bus station near the hostel with a lot of lines during the day. We had an early flight back and walked at 2 AM about 20 min from the hostel to the Ausros Vartai station to take the night bus N 88 to the airport, We stayed in the triple room with a shared toilet and shower and it was ok.

Everything was ok

Great hostel with everything you need

Laid back atmosphere, lots of space even when there are many guests it doesn't feel crowded. Comfy bed, great location, lots of coffee shops and restaurants in the area. This area of Vinius is quieter and greener compared to the old town. The kitchen is fully stocked, there's a washing machine if you want to do laundry, hair dryers, basically anything you need for a comfy life) I had two different rooms booked for my stay. The receptionist was so kind to let me stay in one instead of moving. Over all a great experience!

Too much music, especially at night. I heard it in my room on the first floor

7.0 / 10.0

Good for short stays and useful kitchen

It has a big kitchen full of appliances, tables and chairs. Also outdoors area is very open and nice, a summer dream. It looked it could have been noisy during night but, luckily it was not, just some music at the garden but when closing the windows it could be heard but not much, good enough for sleeping. Surrounding area is nice and walkable, lots of cafés and the river.

Staff do the job, things to improve and it looks it is a big goal from Management, which is always good for a better experience. It is clean enough (pricewise), toilets and showers could have a more frequent check as floor gets wet easily, rest of areas are fine.

Wonderful place but uncomfortable

The Place is wonderful because is a sort of camping hostel into the woods. The organized events are nice.

If you book the bungalow and you need to go to toilets, you have to walk 30 meters out to go into the structure. If it is raining it is so uncomfortable. Shared toilet yes but in another building. The external toilets are so small and uncomfortable, they are so small that you can't even seat so well without touching the knees. The indicated showers were only 2 and the shower arm was broken. The coffe was unreasonably expensive at the reception (same price of the airport).

Remarkable hostel

This hostel ticks all the boxes of what a great hostel should be. Of course the staff is nice and friendly and it is clean and has all the kitchen/washing facilities needed, but in addition it is actually quiet! I heard no traffic noise despite it being in the city (it is in a quieter park area). It is a short walk to the Old Town and hipster area of Uẓ̌upis though and some interesting churches, cemeteries and underground bars outaide the center are also accessible btly walking. Lots of campers in the yard, easy to store a bike there too.

It’s a nice hostel with a great natural environment and not far from the city center. I recommend it.

Find a Forest in the City

I've stayed in a lot of hostels, and this one is a really cool space. The arrangement in the backyard is very unique and you can tell they go the extra mile; there are several nice touches to support that.

Unfortunately the window in my room was facing the back parking lot, and the van life campers happened to be loud on this night. An unlucky but very forgivable circumstance.

Vilnius rest area

The location is great, surrounded by the trees and peace. Inside the building the mood is super chill but at the same time plenty of activities and persons.

A great value place to stay.

It is in walking distance from the train station even if you have luggage. Friendly atmosphere, outdoor barbecues. You get a towel and there's soap in the showers. Also free tea and coffee in the morning felt really nice. Dorm room felt surprisingly spatious.

Perfect location, fantastic facilities, really good vibes

So I arrived early on an overnight bus, the staff were so welcoming and helpful. Helped me charge my devices, offered me free coffee, allowed me to shower and store my bags there while I waited for my room. They couldn’t have done anymore, and very very very chill about it all! Nothing was too big an ask!

Honestly, it’s great… slight haunted-chic styling on the place but that’s what makes it magic ✨

If you’re looking to test how much noise you can handle, this might be the place for you.

Pleasant location.

It was impossible to get any rest before midnight due to loud noise from the bar below. The room was accessible from a shared terrace, which didn’t feel secure. The dryer was out of order during my entire two-day stay, and no one seemed to take any initiative to repair it. Additionally, the iron was damaged and ended up ruining a T-shirt. Overall, quite a disappointing experience.

10.0 / 10.0

Great place to stay at a reasonable price.

Huge lounges and kitchen area in the basement. Outdoor area with many tables, BBQ's and had two bands playing good rock music for 6 hours for my first day the hostel. In addition, friendly staff with free morning coffee or tea at the reception area. Also, I was upgraded to a large double room from a 4 bed dorm room. Hostel was close to a market, bakery, and an excellent food court. Hostel was close to a local Vilnius bus stop that returned often to train and bus central stations. Hostel within easy walking distance to Vilnius Old Town.

Nothing.

Seren place to return after active time in Vilnius centre

Place has a large backyard with high trees. Near is beautiful park and lookout spot as well. There is barbecue option on site and the hostel style is bohemian, earthy, laid back. The mattress was good. Wasn’t soft and I didn’t get back aches.

The bed was squeaky when I moved in it and it woke me up.

The girl at the reception was very nice and allowed me to check in earlier. The people are friendly and communicative. The hotel is also in a very nice and quite central handy location.

A piece of nature gem in the city

Great location! You don't feel like you're in the city, cause you're surrounded by trees; but once you step outside - you are in the city center. Really nice style and design of the room, cool common areas. Staff was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and well maintained.

It is a hostel, so you can expect a lot of noise from the inside and outside. But everyone was quite respectful about the rule of being silent after 11pm.

8.0 / 10.0

Very good

A normal hostel for seasoned travelers.

Ok, there is this thing in this place - noise. They have a ⚽ fotbool table outside in the backyard and in the summer it's played until late morning. Everybody sleeping with the opened windows and there you have it. Also the backyard is great for staying late and staying loud. Espiacially for those guys with campervans, they love it and use it accordingly :)))) even when the house is fully booked and there should be dead silence after 12. So grab your earplugs, put a shade on your eyes and try to sleep if you can! :))))

A great place to stay in for a night or two.

Location is great. The outdoor bar and the overall atmosphere is cosy.

Noise from the backyard bar in the evening. It was hard to sleep with an open window, so we closed it even though then it was a little hot in the room.
