Old Town Hostel C-5, Aušros Vartų 20-15, tel. (+370)<br />
5 262 53 57, fax (+370) 5 268 59 67, oldtownhostels@<br />
lha.lt, www.oldtownhostel.lt. A classic hostel in the old<br />
sense, meaning you’re just as likely to find hard up Polish<br />
pensioners staying here as you are middle class English<br />
university students pretending to be poor. Ignore the fact<br />
that it’s not actually in Old Town and don’t expect all-night<br />
parties with new-found Australian soul mates and you’ll be<br />
fine. Facilities are thin on the ground as one would expect,<br />
but for the price you’d be an idiot to complain. Surplus to the<br />
army-style barracks are a few smaller rooms with en suite<br />
bathrooms and cooking facilities. Q (doubles 90Lt, triples<br />
120Lt, quads 160Lt). JRW<br />

good option for anyone looking to meet like-minded people with<br />

properties of all kinds for rent everywhere in the city and<br />
slightly further afield. The choice of places is impressive to<br />
say the least, and the service is outstanding. A recent attempt<br />
to find accommodation in Vilnius for four nights during<br />
a particularly busy period saw them offering one of their own<br />
properties as everything else was fully booked. Marvellous.<br />
