    I find it a good location, and no need to worry about the safety of the road to the old town, since I have tried at different times ranging from 8:00 pm to 3 am. some of the staffs do not speak good English, and I guess because of the reconstruction, it is not so clean in the toilet.

    More for youth groups than travellers. There was a male in the 'female' dorm which might bother some people. One key per dorm was ridiculous. Wifi is a hotspot only, not free. Otherwise, great staff, very clean and comfy rooms.

    Fine, bit of a dodgy and confusing route to get there, not sure I'd want to do it alone at night. Staff could have been more helpful.

    not a bad hostel, located 10 mins walk from the centre of vilnius. the staff are business like, not overly friendly. it doesn't have a huge amount of character and guests are expected to clear out the linen and towels of their own rooms and towels cost extra (1 lita)

    Far from the old town, even if it's written that the hostel is located in uzupis, it's not realy plaisant to walk so much every day to see something interesting ... No "free" wifi !

    If you just want a cheap place to stay the night, this is great. It's out in the residential area, drab but clean, the staff are very helpful. I had a hard time finding it as the directions aren't specific, but people on the street were very helpful. you might want to check a map or call ahead...

    A bit of a walk from the Old town, like 30 mins. It has a descent common area, 2 computers, and the wi-fi in Vilnius isn't that cool, actually like a real pain! The dorm rooms are pretty big, and the showers arent bad.

    Filaretai is pretty far out from the center, so if this bothers people - a 20 minute walk to the center - its probably worth staying somewhere else. Nice staff in a clean hostel. Only problem was that the showers were never hot.

    This hostel was a bit of a walk out past the Uzupis neighborhood, and I wanted this to be away from any noise. As it turned out, it wasn't totally necessary, but the hostel has good amenities. Laundry, internet (not always working) and tv.

    Nice quiet hostel about 15min walk to center of old town. Really clean facilities and rooms, which are quiet large. No lockers in rooms. Nice clean kitchen area also. I had a great stay here, would recommend.

    The bus seemed to take me to a housing estate but once I found the place I realised how close it was to the old quarter. Again seeing it for the first time I was disappointed to see run down shacks but the hostel was behind and very well kitted out and clean. Still not too many travellers so...

    Second visit for me here, I still love the place! Staff are very friendly, helpful and well versed in languages - and very amused at cleaning up my girlfriends apple juice off the the reception floor at 7.30am when we're meant to be catch a bus! Thanks again everyone at Filaretai!

    The staff are friendly and helpful as well as the other patrons which reflects well on the establishment. The shared areas are very good and the kitchen is quite well equipped (NB: take your own wine opener!). Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Filaretai and in Vilnius.
