8 handpicked hostels in Vilnius, sorted by traveler rating.
Vilnius's backpacker map divides between Old Town (Mikalo House and Studija Mona in the upper rating tier, Old Town Trio and 25 Hours Hostel for breakfast and social life, The house for Cathedral-adjacent budget beds, Jimmy Jumps House for rooftop-and-volunteer community) and Užupis (Downtown Forest at 4,202 reviews — the most-tested hostel in town, garden terrace and Pub Crawl start). Centro Hostel in Naujamiestis wins on price: €19 beds, 3 min from the train station. The UNESCO Old Town sits inside a 15-minute walking triangle between Cathedral Square, Gates of Dawn and Gediminas Castle hill; Užupis is 3 minutes across the Bernardine bridge; the €1 airport train arrives at Vilnius Central in 8 minutes.

Best Hostels in Vilnius
8 handpicked hostels in Vilnius, sorted by traveler rating.
Studija Mona
Studija Mona is a small self-check-in apartment-hostel on Vilniaus gatvė, three minutes from Cathedral Square. The 9.2 rating from 109 reviews reflects what it is: one of the quietest, cleanest places to stay inside the Old Town, without the dorm-scale party.
Mikalo House
Mikalo House sits on Šv. Mikalojaus gatvė inside the UNESCO Old Town, a 10-minute walk from Vilnius train and bus stations. The 9.1 rating from 1,077 reviews reflects what backpackers keep saying: small, quiet, hospitable, and one of the easiest places to land in Vilnius without overpaying.
Old Town Trio Hostel Rooms
Old Town Trio sits on Raugyklos gatvė, a 3-minute walk from the Gates of Dawn and the Filharmonija concert hall. The 9.0 rating from 1,139 reviews holds because the breakfast is actually good (fresh bread, Lithuanian cheese, fruit) and the staff answer the phone at 02:00 if your Ryanair lands late.
25 Hours Hostel
25 Hours Hostel sits on Aušros Vartų gatvė, 150 metres inside the Gates of Dawn and three minutes from Cathedral Square. The 8.7 rating from 975 reviews comes from repeat solo backpackers and students — not accidental tourists — who rate the inner-courtyard rooms, the pet-friendly policy, and the indoor game room for rainy Vilnius afternoons.
Centro Hostel
Centro Hostel is the cheapest rated-above-8 hostel in Vilnius — 8.6 on 764 reviews, €19 beds, and a five-minute walk across the railway bridge into the Old Town. It sits on Aukų gatvė in Naujamiestis (the New Town), close to the train station but far enough to be a real neighbourhood, not a station dorm.
Downtown Forest Hostel & Camping
Downtown Forest Hostel & Camping sits on Paupio gatvė in Užupis, the breakaway-republic arts quarter, with a garden terrace that is genuinely full of trees and a nightly bar-crawl meeting point on site. The 8.6 from 4,202 reviews — the most-reviewed hostel in Vilnius — makes it the safest-bet social hostel in town.
Jimmy Jumps House
Jimmy Jumps House is the owner-run social hostel on Savičiaus gatvė, three minutes from Cathedral Square. The 8.2 rating hides what the review comments say clearly: volunteer staff, free walking tours organised from the lobby, a rooftop terrace, and Emma at reception — repeatedly named by guests as the reason they came back.
The house Vilnius
The house Vilnius is a self-check-in apartment-hostel on Latako gatvė, a 90-second walk from Vilnius Cathedral. The 7.9 rating across 3,154 reviews — one of the most-reviewed hostels in the Baltics — comes from guests who want the cheapest bed closest to the Cathedral without reception hours.
