From a budget hostel to a resort outside the city, here are several hotels worth considering for your stay in Vilnius. They differ in style and location, and are likely to improve your Vilnius experience even more.
In the artsy side of Vilnius
A famous place to stay for the outside events and famous BBQs is Downtown Forest Hostel & Camping. It is called a forest because of the green, wild-like surroundings and wooden interior. Yet the hostel with its additional camping space is in Užupis, one of the most authentic parts of Vilnius; and all the city attractions are within walking distance.

For antique lovers
One of the earliest opened hotels in Eastern Europe and the oldest one in Lithuania is the 5* Narutis hotel. Declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in the 16th-century the hotel buildings used to be a few mansions of the nobles that also hosted travellers. The location of Narutis hotel is in Pilies street — the oldest street of Vilnius right in the heart of the Old Town. The building reflects at the time popular architectural styles: gothic, baroque and classicism.

The slightly outside of Vilnius homestead
Oreivių užuovėja (in Širvintos, 37km from Vilnius) is not an ordinary hotel, but a themed homestead among meadows by a lake. The hotel rooms have unusual and fun interior details. “Paradise” and “Hell” rooms with angels or devils; on the fourth floor, there are silver “Moon” and the golden “Sun” apartments; on the fifth floor, the apartment looks like space. The trip is worth making just for the unforgettable stay, but the hotel also organizes hot air balloon flights and kayaking through Širvintos river.

A tip for short-term stay that is longer than a vacation
For a longer visit in the city, when you don’t want to stay for too long, but a week is also too short, there is an alternative to Airbnb. Trumpam offers cheap short-term room, studio and apartment rentals for a few weeks, a month or two at an affordable price (from 15EUR per night). More offers: www.trumpam.lt
