The Monk's Bunk Kaunas

The host(ess) was exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Perfect location right on the pedestrian street with restaurants, coffeeshops and supermarket just a few steps away. No breakfast is available but they have a fully equipped kitchen if you wanted to cook or store your food. Also a coffeeshop nearby opens at 7.00 and the supermarket at 7.30. Bed was very comfortable and the quilt very cosy. In the room you get one personal locker with key. The team at reception were very nice and helpful especially Sigita who gave me tips on events and places of interest as soon as I checked-in.

The hostel’s entrance is in a run down courtyard that makes you feel like you are entering an abandoned building. It is confusing if a taxi drops you off at the back (not at front since it’s a pedestrian zone) as there are no visible signs and can make you feel not safe especially if you come late at night. Also, only two restrooms are available for the whole hostel, one with toilet and shower and the other one with toilet and a bath. The one with the bath unfortunately has a primitive lock that didn’t close properly and twice someone opened the door while I was inside even though I had put on the latch. Maybe it’s time To upgrade that lock.

Literally best receptionists out of every hostel I stayed at. I'm writing this review a bit after my stay so I can't remember the name of male receptionist who welcomed me at the hostel, but he was one of the kindest and most welcoming receptionist I encountered so far providing where to go and what to see in that amount of time I stayed in Kaunas, aswell as super friendly lady who worked in morning at check-out, exceptional people. Apart from that hostel is equipped with everything you can imagine one hostel can have and all that is in neat and tidy condition. Comfy beds with nice dorms that have charging ports by the beds are always a nice addition, 2 clean bathrooms equipped with showers and also ability to do your own laundry is a great add-on. Cozy living room/lounge area with TV and spacious kitchen offer everything someone might need for a proper stay. Location is also great considering you're in close proximity to every sightseeing spot and on main alley. Exceptional place, wonderful hostel 10/10.

Central location, very nice receptionist

On the main street so there was LOTS of noise from the outside and due to no AC and only one fan in the room it was really warm inside with the window closed and if the window opened there were drunk people screaming outside
