An unfortunate experience

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.

Poor service and cleanliness

We stayed two nights in the cabin. I have been in similar cabin before at other camping area, and I enjoyed it, and that is why I booked it this time also. This location is great but unfortunately there were some major cons. Staff didn’t say ”hi” after the check in. Not even the receptionist. They were just looking at computer when you passed their desk. I found it weird and arrogant. The toilets were dirty time to time and there was no toilet paper left (happened three or four times). Cabin was dirty; thrash, dust and spider nests under bed. The mattress and pillow were old and ”seen the best days”. There were no mattress toppers. I understand it is a hostel and camping place but none the less it should be clean. Showers are dirty and old.

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.

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

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.
