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!

Ehhh in the winter, but sure the summer is great!
We stayed in the winter with not many guests there and I’m assuming a totally different experience than that in the warmer months. No social vibe simply because not many guests. The open areas are warm but our room was very cold, and we have no in-room temp control. The room was very damp as well, and there were dehumidifiers in some of the open spaces so this is clearly an issue they’re aware of. One of the beds in our room was actually moist to the touch. The bathrooms could use some updating or atleast more detailed cleaning, or changing the trash since you’re advised to throw it in the bin vs down the toilet - it can get quite smelly and I can’t imagine the smell in the summer months! The front desk staff did their jobs but weren’t really warm or hospitable. We were also here while there was significant snow on the ground and the steep staircase to the road wasn’t cleaned until day 3. Overall, the value for money was good. Walkable to a food hall, modern area and the bus stop, but definitely not “10 minutes walk to the old town.” I would be open to returning in the summer months when it’s warmer and you can enjoy the lovely outside space.

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.

Hostel génial
Hostel génial pour passer quelques jours à Vilnius ! La cadre est super (même en hiver) et l'emplacement est idéal. On est à côté de la vieille ville, tout est accessible à pied (la gare également). Nous avions une chambre avec salle de bain, tout était propre et nous avions plus d'équipements que ce à quoi nous nous attendions. Même du café et du thé offert. Le personnel est très sympathique et serviable. La cuisine commune est relativement propre et il y a tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner. Il y a beaucoup de place dans les espaces communs pour manger où même se reposer / faire des jeux, c'est très confortable. Je recommande 100%. Petit plus pour ma déco/ le style de l'auberge qui est très mignon.

Gem that is a little too hidden
