Reviews of Mr Jo’s hostel

The staff is nice, location is good for exploring railway station area or going to rock/metal club Lemmy. Kitchen area is nice.

The traffic noise is just awful, even when you have earplugs. Sleeping can be a struggle. Lots of guys drift and speed their cars in the middle of the night, especially on weekends.

Very close to bus and train station.

Only 2 wc and 2 showers to share in a hostel with 10 rooms (each one with multiple beds).

the hotel was chosen because it is quite close to the stadium

It could have been tidier because the floor wasn't very clean

Good location an available wifi. Not many people stayed there.

Ladies bathroom door does not fully close or lock. I had unpleasant encounter with another guest because of this. Reception lady did not speak Lithuanian or English. It was very difficult to communicate. I was asked to pay again even though I paid. The shower had the same piece of plastic lying on the ground from Friday to Sunday - not sure how often it is cleaned. :/ There was no shower gel. Poor ventilation in the rooms. One lady sprayed something in the room and I had to open the windows, which are barely accessible, so I ran away to try to breathe through bathroom window, but someone has just smoked a cigarette there, so I just packed and left. I stayed in 8 bed room and there were plenty of beds available, but I was put to one which is on second floor of the bunk bed, which is not very comfortable to climb. Also, there are warnings that you are not allowed to drink alcohol in the hostel. This was not noted in the rules when reserving the room. I wanted to have a beer after long day, but oh well...

I stayed at this hostel in Kaunas for a few nights and overall it was a good experience -solid 4 stars. The rooms were spacious, and they were kind enough to give me the lower bunk by the window, just as I requested, which I really appreciated. Wi-Fi was decent, around 20–30 Mbps down, but I was expecting something closer to 100–150 Mbps, so that was a bit of a letdown. Another downside was the cleanliness of the bathroom - it definitely needed more attention, as there were some small flies around. Unfortunately, the laundry machines were also out of order during my stay. That said, the location was super convenient - right next to the central train and bus stations, which is exactly why I chose it. Keep in mind, though, it’s about a 30-minute walk from the city center. The price felt a little high for a 4-bed dorm considering the overall conditions, but for a short stay and good transport access, it worked well.

an excellent staff

drunk visitors

Close to train and bus station.

Weird smell, poor security (weak door codes and advice not to put valuables in the lockers meant for keeping valuables safe), maintenance so-so at best and room not very clean—grimy carpet, dusty corners. No electric outlet close to my bed and so little space between top and bottom bunk that I hit my head multiple times, despite not being very tall. Based on staff behaviour (coming into room at random to talk to residents), the environment (bare bones, no safety regulations, no tourist accommodations etc.) and the guests I was put in a room with, this accommodation serves as a semi-permanent living space for primarily working men. Did not feel comfortable or entirely safe here and checked out as early as I could after spending the night. Would not recommend this to tourists and solo female travellers in particular unless they're into feeling lost and somewhat sketchy, risky environments. Was like a surreal liminal space or something.

Just brilliant

Simple and easy to find

I arrived late, there were no staff and no possibility to so self check-in. Luckily one of visitors let me in a room

The location is ideal for the people who move around with buses!

There was not hot water in the shower in the morning although I let the water to run for a good while.

Comfortable and clean and Quiet.Staff are Friendly, and helpful Good location.

There wasn't anything I didn't like

Nice beds, the kitchen with the wall full of different flags. I found my country's flag. Ukrainian ♥️

Can't recall.

Even though it was definitely not in the best part of the lovely city of Kaunas, its location was good. A very short walk from both the railway station and the bus station with a direct service to Kaunas Airport. The hostel was very clean and the staff extremely helpful. Slightly wider beds than other hostels which suited me well . Easy to catch a bus to the beautiful historic parts of the city

I think the hostel caters more for travelling workers than backpackers seeing the world.

Everything was really good during my stay. The place was clean, well-maintained, and had a pleasant atmosphere. It’s also conveniently located close to the bus station, which made getting around very easy. I truly appreciated the overall comfort and convenience.

While my overall experience was good, I do have a couple of suggestions. It would be great if curtains were added to the beds to provide more privacy for guests. Also, I had an unfortunate experience where some of my food was taken from the fridge, which was really disappointing.
