Stebuklas

Stebuklas Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Stebuklas in the Snipiskes district, you might wonder if you’ve found the right place — it’s tucked away on a quiet residential street that feels more like a local neighborhood than a tourist zone. The four-star property has this understated charm that grows on you, though I’ll be honest, the exterior won’t blow you away. What struck me immediately was how peaceful everything felt, especially considering you’re still in Vilnius proper.

The Snipiskes Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re actually staying where locals live, not in some sanitized hotel district. Snipiskes sits just across the Neris River from Old Town, and while that might sound far, it’s really just a pleasant 15-minute walk or quick bus ride to the main sights. The neighborhood has this authentic Lithuanian residential vibe, with tree-lined streets and the kind of cafes where you’ll hear more Lithuanian than English. Couples seem to get this appeal (they rate the location 8.3), and I can see why — there’s something romantic about discovering a city from a quieter corner.

Room Experience

My room was comfortable enough, though don’t expect anything fancy — this is practical accommodation done well rather than Instagram-worthy. The space felt clean and functional, with decent-sized windows that let in good natural light. You know what I appreciated? The little touches that show someone’s paying attention — proper blackout curtains, a bedside lamp that actually works for reading, and enough outlets for your devices. The bathroom was compact but well-designed, and honestly, after walking around Vilnius all day, having a reliable hot shower was all I needed.

Practical Perks

The continental breakfast gets the job done — nothing spectacular, but you’ll find fresh bread, local cheeses, and decent coffee to fuel your morning explorations. What really makes a difference here is the free parking on site, which is actually a huge deal in Vilnius where finding a spot can be a real headache. If you’re driving through the Baltics or just want the freedom to explore beyond the city center, this alone might make Stebuklas worth considering. The staff speaks English well enough and seems genuinely helpful, though the overall service style is more low-key than polished.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Stebuklas isn’t going to win any design awards, and with a 6.5 rating, it’s clearly not perfect. But here’s the thing — it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. You get a clean, quiet place to sleep in a genuinely local neighborhood, with the practical stuff (parking, breakfast, decent WiFi) sorted out. For travelers who want to experience Vilnius more like a temporary resident than a tourist, this spot actually makes a lot of sense. The value feels right, especially if you’re the type who spends most of your time exploring rather than lounging in your hotel room.

Apartments in Vilnius provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Lithuanian markets and cook with regional Baltic specialties.

Reviews of Stebuklas

• Wonderful – Ullrich from Germany – July 8, 2025 (9/10)

  This room is in a wooden house ( protected herirage) in a street with traditional wooden houses, just next to the modern (and beautiful) business towers at the northern fringe of the inner city.
  It is a wonderful stylistic contrast..
  The style of the house is that of a rustic 'log cabin'.
  The hosts are friendly, helpful and sympathetic.
  
  The site is excellent: It is about 30 minutes walk to the inner city (university).
  Shops and a traditional good market are near by.

• Good place – Vi from Finland – January 2, 2025 (6/10)

  Location

• Not so bad – Larry from Sweden – October 28, 2024 (5/10)

  The bad
  
  What could be improved: In the old house it s very cold and why 4 euro for the taxes,taxes for what?Breakfast is just a sandwich

• It was not a good experience for me so I do not recommend it to anyone – Mustafa from Poland – October 27, 2024 (1/10)

  only Location was good.
  
  What could be improved: The room shown in the pictures was different from the room delivered to me. There was no heating and the insulation was bad. It was extremely cold inside the room and there was no difference between sleeping in a house or on a park bench. There was no locker for main door so its mean everyone can go inside.

• Needs a better description – Mark from Germany – July 26, 2024 (5/10)

  The house was super cool and unique and the location was close to the city 🙂
  The owner/host was extremely accommodating and nice, he made sure everything was satisfactory
  And they served a cute breakfast in the mornings
  
  And the bed was great !
  
  What could be improved: The description of the property was not very accurate, I think Booking.com should look in to this.
  It says there is a private bathroom with you room, this is not true, you have to share it with 4other rooms, now this wasn’t something that bothered me much, but it meant that it wasn’t very clean (not the owners fault) and if the shared bathroom situation would be stated in the description of property, then people would know what they are coming to..
  other than that, the neighbour was quite aggressive and confronting, but this also not something that bothers me much, but I can imagine some would be very uncomfortable with it..
  all this can be fixed with a more accurate description
  
  Also the towels provided were small and smelly
  And you could not open the windows in the room
  
  But keep in mind, this a historical house, you can’t expect top notch modern quality on everything
  
  I am also of the opinion that it should be a little cheaper with all this in mind

• i would not recomend to stay at this place – Oskars from Latvia – July 13, 2024 (5/10)

  location was good and host was polite
  
  What could be improved: room i hooked suposed to be 12 Square meters but it was maximum 6. there was only one toilet for 4 rooms. there was no towels. breakfast was terrible. one piece of bread without any butter, croisant and banana. room temperature was very hot- no air conditioning.

• Fair – Tomas from Lithuania – July 13, 2024 (5/10)

  Interior design is interesting, cozy, antique furnitures, cute paintings. The host is very nice, caring and will help you with anything you ask. Host makes very generous breakfast and offer you coffee, if you skip breakfast he will leave you sandwich to eat later.
  
  What could be improved: At first I got the wrong room, but this was fixed quickly. since it was cold weather season, host had to prepare a fireplace in the room, which seems nice at first, but I had to breath smoke whole week since there is quite poor ventilation and windows don’t open. And he needs to go into room to fire up fireplace to keep room warm during night. There’s one shower/toilet in whole building so you have to share it with 4-5 people/rooms. Price is cheap so it’s decent value for money and you get free parking so wouldn’t say it’s bad, i imagine experience during summer would have been better.

• Exceptional – Dmytro from Ukraine – June 1, 2024 (10/10)

  Very nice and pleasant attitude of the owner. Delicious breakfast and close to the city center

• Not bad! – Swagata from Ireland – May 5, 2024 (6/10)

  Location was very convenient
  
  What could be improved: Very small room! Almost claustrophobic! Specially the attic rooms that we stayed in!

• ok – Eva from Lithuania – May 2, 2024 (5/10)

  The location is perfect, Breakfast is not necessary, in my oponion is better to have it optional. The host was very kind.
  
  What could be improved: Either I did a mistake while filtering the places either the host made a mistake while filling info about their place. I needed A room with WC and kitchen, but that were SHARED facilities ! I was staying with Two yearsold and the stairs looked dangerous, I do not recomend this place to say with children !
