What guests think

At Downtown Forest Hostel & Camping, guests highlight a central yet green setting near the Old Town, friendly staff, good value, and sociable outdoor spaces, while noting occasional downsides like limited shared bathrooms, variable cleanliness, and some noise.

Facilities include a bar garden with grills, a communal kitchen and laundry, and camping-style bungalows, though parking can be tricky and occasional renovations have reduced bathroom availability. Rooms are often cosy and reasonably sized for the price, but some mention thin or squeaky mattresses and sound carrying in certain areas. Free morning coffee and tea are appreciated, and many rely on the on-site bar or the Paupio Turgus food court across the street for meals. Expect a budget-friendly, social stay with clear hostel-style trade-offs.

Supertrevligt hostel/camping med väldigt trevlig personal och fräscha lokaler. Möjlighet till grill på gården och bra bar om man ville ta en öl på kvällen. Tyst nattetid.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Eine Oase in einer Großstadt! Ich habe die Zeit dort sehr genossen. Wenn es auch manchmal echt laut aus nahegelegenen Bars war - die Fenster haben es geblockt 😊 Nicht so schön fand ich die großen Gruppen, die sich abdrns zum bbq einfanden. Waren offensichtlich keine Hostelgäste und haben die super gechillte Atmosphäre eher negativ verändert

We booked a bungalow that in the reservation said it is with a private bathroom, but it wasn't. They changed us to a double room with private bathroom but in the website the price was 20 euro less than we pay and they refused to refund us. Additionally the beds were very uncomfortable and squeaky.
