Tvirtovė

Tvirtovė Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Tvirtovė? The name literally means “fortress” in Lithuanian, and honestly, it fits perfectly – this little 3-star gem on Bebrų Street feels like your own protected hideaway in Zverynas, which is easily one of Vilnius’s most charming neighborhoods. I mean, you’re tucked away from the tourist chaos but still just a pleasant 15-minute walk across the Neris River to Old Town.

The thing about staying in Zverynas is that you get to live like an actual Vilnian for a few days. There’s this lovely residential vibe where you’ll see locals walking their dogs along the tree-lined streets, and the area has this sort of intellectual atmosphere – lots of artists and writers have called this district home over the years. The hotel itself sits quietly on a side street, so you won’t deal with any traffic noise (trust me, after a day of cobblestone hopping in the old city, you’ll appreciate the peace). What really surprised me was how the staff seemed to genuinely know the neighborhood – they pointed me toward this fantastic little café just two blocks away that I never would’ve found otherwise, and gave me the inside scoop on which bus routes actually run on time.

The rooms are comfortable in that unpretentious way that makes you feel at home rather than like you’re staying in a showroom. Sure, it’s not going to win any design awards, but everything works properly (the shower has decent pressure, the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every five minutes), and there’s something refreshingly honest about a place that focuses on the basics done well. I actually loved that you can open the windows for real fresh air – so many hotels seal you in these days. The 8.5 rating makes complete sense once you factor in the value proposition here. You’re paying 3-star prices but getting that rare thing in travel: a place that actually delivers on its promises without trying to oversell itself. Plus, if you’re planning to explore beyond Vilnius, the location makes it easy to grab a bus or taxi without navigating through the narrow medieval streets where cars basically play vehicular Tetris.

  Staff is very helpful and friendly, the best possible location in my particular situation. Not much noise from the street.
  
  What could be improved: The hot water boiler is small – the hot tub is present, but really hard to use due to low amount of hot water. The mattress is quite soft, just something to keep in mind.

• Very well organised, pet friendly place – Anna from Russia – September 20, 2022 (10/10)

  I liked the host, Erika. She is an extremely professional and friendly. She did an extra job calling to the train station and asking about my further destination train. She was also ok with me travelling with two medium size dogs, which is beyond my expectations. If I’m Vilnius one more time, I will most definitely stay at this place.

• Good – Ina from Lithuania – May 23, 2025 (7/10)

  Vieta tobula, arti centro. Nepriekaištinga švara. Pasitikusi darbuotoja labai paslaugi. Yra privatus parkingas, kur galima ramiai palikti mašiną.
  
  What could be improved: Kaldra buvo siauroka užsikloti dviem žmonėms. Kambarių apšvietimas labai blankus, dar kaip tyčia mūsų viešnagės metu oras buvo apniukęs, tai šviesos labai trūko. Šiukšliadėžės dangtis buvo nulūžęs. Nebuvo rankšluosčių veidui.

• номер уютный и чистый.номер имеет свой маленький парк с качелями.очень удобная парковка авто. – Vladimir from Latvia – May 5, 2025 (9/10)

  затрак у нас не было. расположение хорошее.
