Best Hostels in Vilnius
The first city I explored in the Baltics - Vilnius. I honestly feel like the Eastern Europe is underrated, it is beautiful, it's easy to travel around because locals especially the young people speak good English. There are a lot of history to learn, food to try, and beer to taste! Not to mention how affordable it is. I've lived in Denmark, travelled in France, Italy, and Sweden - Lithuania or Vilnius is a lot cheaper.
Here, I will be listing the best hostels in Vilnius. From homely feel like accommodations to party hostels - you will find them here and why they are the one of the best hostels in the city.
NOTE: Most of the hostels in Vilnius are equipped with a functioning kitchen. City tax will also be effective starting July 1, 2018 upon checking in.

For a little bit of a party scene and a place to easily meet people, Hostel Jamaika will be the right place. The location is not in the city centre but not bad either at it's only a few minutes walk to the bus station and about 10 minutes to the Old Town. This hostel has a bar below the actual hostel but the are the same business. Locals also love to hang out here in the afternoon or weekends. The dorm rooms are decent however, there are not enough toilets and shower area to accommodate everyone especially when it's fully booked.
Best feature: bar and garden at the ground floor
Dorm bed per night: $14
Private room: $37

B&B&B&B&B is perfect for you if you down to a party all night and don't mind drunk hostelers. It is located a little far from the city centre but the bus station is not much of a walk. The dorm rooms itself are not the most comfortable and convenient but the common area especially downstairs where the restaurant and bar is located is very cosy and well-decorated. The shops like supermarkets are just around the corner and are open until late.

If you are not very picky and only needed the basic, Fortuna Hostel is loved for this. They are located between the train/bus station and the Old Town. Although the kitchen is a little small, it is functional. The amenities are not in the best shape but will do the job. The staffs are helpful if you need anything, they also speak good English and can give you a lot of insider tips.
Best feature: simple but well located
Dorm bed per night: $10
Private room: not available
