Downtown Forest Hostel & Camping

2024年3月20日我在網上訂了這這家旅館，酒店位置有點偏,從機場打車到旅館需要11歐。當我晚上12點下了飛機準備去住時旅館已經沒有工作人員,旅館大門緊鎖，預訂酒店時平台酒店沒有給我發任何關於旅館門鎖密碼的訊息，害得我在旅館大門等了一個小時後來打電話給工作人員才進去辦理了入住。

Super convinient location. Bolt taxi 5€ to old town. Lidl in walking distance though uphill ;). Really friendly staff. Showers and toilets are basic but clean so totally fine. They are shared among campers and hostell guests. Pitches with elecrticity are not so big and our 7,3 meter camper is big here.

I really liked the hostel, room smelled very nice, and was decorated with love. Realy appreciated the welcoming letter ♥️ 🌲Very atmospheric garden and love that you can grill there. 🌲Very good morning coffe. I love the rustic hippy / Pipi Langstrumpf style! 🔥Easygoing and chill. Now the bad parts: Sorry but i hate the toilet situation there.🙈💩 Often times there was no soap (yes i kindly asked staff to refill, but next day same thing). You have to put used toilet paper in a bin (without a lid) 🙈 Very weak flushing. The ventilation was not strong enough so the air felt damp. I had to gag several times and felt like puking sorry. Also if you have an opnenbin with used toilet paper, of course it will be dampy and eww. A lot of people used the bathrooms, so i had to run up and down but no empty one in mornings. There are no pissoirs, so it frequently happened that nasty men peed standing, causing pee splatters everywhere.(mostly night time) I simply could not poop my whole stay, had to go over to the newly build 'fancy' food hall, which had nice toilets. With good flushing. Good pooping there👌 Would stay there again if i had a room with private toilet.

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.

I stayed here in August 2023. What stood out most for me was the friendly welcome I got as I arrived on my first day. As someone who does find social interaction a challenge it made me feel at home immediately. I left, after my 4 night stay, wishing I could stay longer. Whilst shared wash facilities might not be for everyone I'd urge you to give it a try. The place is so much cleaner than you might think. I suspect the welcoming atmosphere makes guests treat the facilities as home. Laundry facilities, a well maintained kitchen and seating areas and free tea and coffee in the morning are plus points. The outside bar and seating area, in a small forest and under lights, is a pleasant and relaxing place to spend an evening.

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.

Très bien dans l'ensemble, qualité du lit clairement à revoir : changer de matelas, proposer des couvertures pour 2 personnes.

Natural alternative accomodations in Vilnius.

Exceptional nice and friendly atmosphere!
