Great place to stay

Great place to stay, easy walk to centre. Nice bar and eateries over the road. The site itself has a bar and offers bbq rental. The staff were very friendly especially Augustas who ran the bar/bbq and Leoranus on reception. Highly recommend this place

Convenient location and lovely stay

Great hostel with a nice bar and sitting area. Super convenient location with a food court just across the street, and it's within walking distance to the old town and all the main attractions. Perfect for exploring the city!

A combo hotel, hostel and camping ground. A strange hybrid, but it works very well. Close to the old city, but the immediate envir6 is a beautiful forest

Friendly and pleasant hostel close to Old Town

I really enjoyed my stay at Downtown Forest Hostel. The staff were all friendly, welcoming and full of smiles. The hostel itself was a very pleasant place, with a nice sized kitchen, plenty of seating areas, laundry facilities and an outdoor seating and bar area. Free tea and coffee was served every morning. The hostel is easily reached by bus from Vilnius Train Station and is easily walked to from the Old Town. I found myself in a park right by the hostel whilst wandering the Old Town at leisure, it is that close. The hostel is clean and comfortable and I would definitely recommend it for a stay in Vilnius. If I am ever in Vilnius again I will look to rebook here.

MAGNUS

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The nice ones: The staff (all of you!), nice friendly atmosphere, silence, home feeling, helpfulness, service, information, bus transport from/to Subačiaus street The less nice ones: There were some occasions when the toilets on my floor were busy, but no big deal to go downstairs or wait some minute. I had read other guest´s reviews about "too few wc" before my booking. Another beforehand knowledge the bed´s mattress could be thicker/higher. No big deal though. The surroundings: If you like modern architecture concepts, as a contrast to your cosy hostel and the old city centre of Vilnius, in Paupys (check street view...) you will find it. There is also a nice "full service" Rimi Express here, a few minutes walk from Downtown Forest. Also you might like to try the food court Paupio Turgus open 11-22 every day. Room 214
