Yeah this was definatley one of the best hostels ive stayed in. The beds are comfier than any other hostel ive ever stayed in... you can actualy get a decent nights sleep. The place is one of the cleanest hostels ive been in.

The location is spot on, right near the old town and not too far from the bus station - just got to keep a look out for the small sign.

Theres Plenty of computers to get on the net, a common room and a chill out room to read or whatever. The only problem I had with the common room is that it has british sky tv which some people might like but I think it killed conversation - especialy if sport was on.

The staff were very friendly and were always happy to answer questions. The owner frank is some guy, we were gone for a week in Vilinius and when we came back he even remembered our names. Pretty impressive considering how many people were there.

Aslo worth checking out is Salt n' Pepper - a great restraunt near by.
