ShortStopPasilaiciai

ShortStopPasilaiciai Overview

Look, I’ll be honest with you – ShortStopPasilaiciai isn’t going to blow you away with luxury, but there’s something genuinely refreshing about this little place that’s stuck with me since my stay. It sits right on Medeinos gatvė in the Pasilaiciai district, which I know sounds super Lithuanian and intimidating if you’re not familiar with Vilnius, but actually this neighborhood has this quiet, residential vibe that most tourists never experience. You’re about fifteen minutes from the Old Town by bus (the 53 runs pretty regularly), but honestly, sometimes it’s nice to step away from all those cobblestones and souvenir shops.

The thing about ShortStopPasilaiciai is that it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. No fake star ratings or inflated promises – just a boutique spot that feels more like staying at someone’s well-designed apartment than a traditional hotel. The owner clearly has an eye for design, I mean, you can tell they’ve put thought into the details without going overboard. My room had these interesting local art pieces and the bathroom actually had decent water pressure, which – let’s be real – can be hit or miss in some of Vilnius’s smaller places. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly fine for video calls, though the walls aren’t super thick so you might hear your neighbors if they’re having a particularly animated phone conversation (happened to me once, but they were speaking Lithuanian so it was more like background music).

What really won me over was the location’s practicality. There’s a decent grocery store about a three-minute walk away, and you know what? Sometimes you just want to grab some Lithuanian dark bread and cheese for breakfast instead of paying hotel prices. Plus, if you’re driving, parking isn’t the nightmare it can be in central Vilnius – there’s usually space on the street without the stress. The 6.3 rating might seem modest, but I think that’s partly because people expect different things from boutique places. If you’re looking for a concierge and room service, this isn’t your spot. But if you want a clean, thoughtfully designed base for exploring Vilnius without the tourist markup, and you appreciate staying somewhere that feels connected to how locals actually live, then ShortStopPasilaiciai delivers exactly what it promises. I’d definitely consider staying there again, especially since the price point left more room in my budget for those amazing cepelinai at Etno Dvaras downtown.

Reviews of ShortStopPasilaiciai

• Nice stay in Vilnius – Anne from Germany – May 4, 2025 (7/10)

  Communication was good, easy self check-in. The building is easy to find, Shops and Restaurants close by, area is safe, busses run every 5 minutes to the centre, 40min drive. Parking possible close to the apartment. Fast wifi. There is a Tv, hair dryer and towels. I recommend to stay here!
  
  What could be improved: Could be a bit cleaner. And "breakfast" isnt really breakfast. It is joghurt in the fridge. There was also juices and one bottle of milk (already open), so I didn't try it. I read those Information before, so I didn't expect much and I don't really mind. But for guests who need a proper breakfast (and expect that), maybe don't expect much.

• First night in another place , Map position was wrong . an adventure – Omar from Italy – July 16, 2024 (6/10)

  really knid owner with all confortalbe things … beverages , cakes , coffee…
  
  What could be improved: the position of the place was diferent than where Booking.com said on the hostel page. Nothing is wrote on the door so i walk around 2 hours and in the end i wnet in another hotel that was open in the night , i spent 120 € there and sti i have nothing back from the owner or from Booking

• Nice place, would stay again – Jurij from United Kingdom – January 28, 2025 (10/10)

  Affordable, comfortable, air conditioned, lot’s of snacks
  
  What could be improved: All good

• Exceptional – Svetlana from Georgia – May 14, 2024 (10/10)

  We had a great stay here for 4 days! The apartment is nice and clean, with a working place, which is important for us as we work 🙂 It’s about 45 minutes bus drive from the centre, in a green and nice area. The host left us some food in the fridge for breakfast, which was very cute! Overall, we totally recommend this place 😍

• Exceptional – Igor from Lithuania – March 30, 2024 (10/10)

  A perfect place for a short stay. The apartment is well equipped, it has everything that's needed.

• A quiet, comfortable apartment for a peaceful vacation – Mārtiņš from Latvia – March 11, 2024 (10/10)

  A very quiet apartment with almost everything you need (flaws will be in the minuses) for living even for a week or more. The neighbors are really very quiet, the view from the balcony is nice, see the picture in the attachment. The owner of the apartment is very welcoming and kind.
  
  What could be improved: A microwave oven and a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine were required for more comfortable living. The apartment is far from the center, which I think was the only drawback that should be taken into account.

• Very Good – Simona from Lithuania – July 31, 2025 (8/10)

  Well equipped quiet place for a good night's rest, nice, respectful host.
  
  What could be improved: Yeah, of course the place could be cleaner, it is not up to hotel standards, but good price, so depends on what you are looking for and how picky you are, in my case there was a bit of dust, but it was not disgusting. The deposit request may look shady in the beginning as it is to a foreign account, but received it back with about a weeks delay, host was communicating with me throughout the process. So nothing too bad, honestly.

• Once we got in was good – Deb from New Zealand – May 18, 2025 (8/10)

  Large rooms, nice bath
  
  What could be improved: Arrival info inaccurate

• Disappointing – Dzmitry from Lithuania – December 6, 2024 (4/10)

  The only nice thing about the place is the internet connection speed. Also grocery shops are located nearby.
  
  The breakfast was just a set of tea bags, instant coffee bags and some snacks, including not really fresh apples in the fridge. Also there were several juices in the fridge, but I didn't risk to try.
  
  What could be improved: The overall smell in the apartment was awful, the bed linen was not changed as it seems, there was a smell of sweat from the previous tenant, so I changed the linen by myself.
  
  The host was communicating in Lithuanian at first, and only after my check-in, he started to communicate in English.
  
  The apartment and its state does not worth the money being asked for.
  
  Parking is a public one, so keep in mind that after 18:00 local time, and during any time on w/e it will be a big challenge to find a free place to park your car.

• A frustrating and disappointing stay with a greedy, unresponsive host. – Namaraj from Estonia – July 23, 2025 (1/10)

  What could be improved: Absolutely Terrible—Still No Deposit Refund After Nearly a Month
  I stayed at ShortStopPasilaiciai on June 24–25 and had a very disappointing and frustrating experience, especially regarding the EUR 100 damage deposit.
  At the time of booking, it was clearly stated that the deposit would be collected via bank transfer upon arrival and refunded within 14 days of check-out, pending a property inspection. I waited the full 14 days — no refund.
  I messaged the host — no response. I called — no answer. Eventually, the host even blocked my number, which is not just unprofessional, it’s unacceptable.
  Now it’s been almost a month, and I’ve still not received the deposit.
  This host showed no integrity, and the lack of communication or accountability is shocking.
  Avoid this property at all costs. If you’re thinking about booking here, be warned: your deposit may never come back, and you’ll be left dealing with a host who ignores and blocks you.
