Lovely location and general stay, room was lovely and cosy
Nice place, nice location. There were some renovation works going on when I was there which meant that the bathrooms on my floor were closed but otherwise it's pretty good and good value
The location is excellent, and the staff are very friendly. Free coffee/tea being offered every morning was also appreciated.
This was not a hotel by any means, but for a hostel it was very good.
The staff are friendly and the service of coffee and tea are so good at check-in time and morning. There is laundy function, so we reduce our clothes when traveling.
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
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
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!
I'm in shock how nice this place it is. Friendly staff, extremely clean. I will come back for sure to make my own BBQ surrounded by beautiful trees. They have hamacs to relax. I will come back with my girlfriend.
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.

Nice bungalow, could have been cleaner, bathroom facilities too few and not generally clean, not-too-friendly staff, overall great location and good atmosphere, problematic parking.
