Old Town Peace Haven

Old Town Peace Haven Overview

You know what? I stumbled across Old Town Peace Haven completely by accident during my third trip to Vilnius, and honestly, it turned out to be one of those lucky discoveries that makes you feel like you’ve found something special. It’s tucked away on Subačiaus street – which, if you don’t know Vilnius well, is this narrow cobblestone stretch that most tourists walk right past on their way to Cathedral Square. The building itself is one of those classic Old Town structures where you climb up to the second floor and think “please let this be worth the trek with my suitcase.” Spoiler alert: it absolutely is.

What struck me immediately was how quiet it gets once you’re inside – I mean, you’re literally in the heart of the Old Town, maybe a three-minute walk from all the tourist chaos around Town Hall Square, but somehow the apartment feels like this peaceful little bubble. The space has that boutique hotel vibe without trying too hard, you know? It’s not trying to impress you with fancy lobbies or marble everything – instead, it’s got this authentic Lithuanian charm mixed with modern comfort that actually works. The morning light streams in beautifully (something about those Old Town windows), and you can hear the church bells from St. Casimir’s just around the corner, which sounds romantic until you realize they start pretty early on Sundays. The whole setup feels more like staying at a well-traveled friend’s place than a typical hotel, which explains that crazy 9.5 rating it’s been getting.

Here’s the thing though – and this is important – you’re going to want to pack light or at least be prepared for those stairs, because this is Old Town Vilnius we’re talking about, not some modern hotel district. But that’s actually part of the charm, honestly. You’re staying in a building that’s probably been here longer than most countries have existed, right in the middle of what UNESCO decided was worth protecting. From the apartment, you can walk to Gediminas Tower in about eight minutes, hit up Užupis (the self-declared artists’ republic) in five, and there’s this little local bakery on the corner of Subačiaus and Dominikonų that does these incredible kibinai – definitely not tourist prices, definitely worth trying. The whole experience feels authentic in a way that’s getting harder to find, especially somewhere with this level of comfort and that kind of rating. If you’re the type who’d rather discover a neighborhood than just visit it, this place makes perfect sense.

Hotels near me in Vilnius offer convenient access to the historic center, where guests can easily walk to Vilnius Cathedral, Gediminas Castle, and the famous Gate of Dawn.

Reviews of Old Town Peace Haven

• Super pobyt – Janusz from Poland – August 19, 2025 (9/10)

  Lokalizacja. Bliskość atrakcji. Mieszkanie w centrum na bocznej uliczce. Nie było słychać zgiełku miasta ale z mieszkania wszędzie blisko. Mieszkanko schludne, czyste.
  
  What could be improved: Ciężko otwierają się okna bo zawiasy wyrobione. Za płotem kościół i rano pobudka przez dzwoniące dzwony.

• Fair – Michał from Poland – August 24, 2025 (5/10)

  What could be improved: Gdy przyjechaliśmy na miejsce, brama wjazdowa była zamknięta na klucz, nie mogliśmy dostać się do środka. Zadzwoniliśmy do właściciela (który na szczęście mówił dobrze po angielsku). Właściciel apartamentu był w szoku, mówiąc, że brama nie powinna być zamknięta, ale jednak była i nic tego nie zmieniało 😉 Pan dzwonił po kolei po wszystkich sąsiadach, aby ktoś nam otworzył, ale wszystko bardzo długo trwało. Zaproponował nam zwrot pieniędzy (co z tego, że musielibyśmy całą rodziną spać chyba na ulicy z tymi pieniędzmi). Ostatecznie udało się wejść, ale spędziliśmy na dworze ponad godzinę, dotarliśmy do mieszkania około 23:00
  Ponadto, mieliśmy zapewniony parking, ale zostaliśmy zastawieni przez mieszkańców, co uniemożliwiało nam wyjazd i wzbudzało ich niezadowolenie.
