Vilnius Old Town Amber Penthouse Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard “penthouse” in the name of Vilnius Old Town Amber Penthouse, I was expecting something a bit more… well, penthouse-y. But you know what? This place actually surprised me in the best way possible. It’s perched right on Vokiečių Street, which is basically in the heart of everything that matters in Vilnius’s old town, and once you get up to that top floor (there’s no elevator, just so you know), the views over those red-tiled rooftops are pretty spectacular.

The apartment itself feels like someone’s actual home – I mean that in a good way. The amber theme isn’t overdone or kitschy; there are just these lovely touches here and there that remind you you’re in the Baltics. The kitchen is actually functional (rare for vacation rentals, honestly), and I ended up cooking breakfast a few mornings because there’s something nice about having coffee while looking out at the cathedral spires. The bedroom gets great morning light, though if you’re a really light sleeper, just know that Vokiečių can get a bit lively on weekend nights – nothing terrible, just the sound of people having a good time drifting up from the street below.

What I really loved is how walkable everything is from here. You’re literally two minutes from the Gates of Dawn, maybe five from the cathedral square, and there’s this little courtyard café called Café de Paris just around the corner that locals actually go to (not just tourists). The narrow cobblestone streets can be a bit tricky if you’re dragging heavy luggage, but honestly, that’s true anywhere in this part of town. I found street parking most evenings without too much trouble, though during the summer festival season – well, that’s a different story entirely. The 8.6 rating makes sense to me; it’s not luxury in the traditional sense, but there’s something genuinely charming about staying in what feels like a real Vilnius apartment rather than some sterile hotel room. Plus, the host actually responds to messages, which you’d think would be standard but… it’s not always. If you want to feel like you’re living in the old town rather than just visiting it, this place delivers on that promise.

    Чудесное расположение, в апартаментах было всё необходимое. Уютно и чисто.

  • Korszerű, kedves, jól felszerelt lakás, kényelmes ágyakkal, kanapékkal, nagyon jó helyen. – Ádám from Hungary – July 24, 2025 (9/10)

    Jól felszerelt, kedves lakás nagyon jó fekvéssel. A vendéglátó nagyon készséges.

    What could be improved: Tetőtéri lakás, ezért sokat kell lépcsőzni, illetve nyáron nagyon felmelegszik, de jól szellőztethető.

  • Apartamento en pleno casco antiguo. – Veronica from Spain – August 13, 2025 (8/10)

    Apartamento muy bien situado, en el centro de Vilna. Funcional para visitar la ciudad.

    What could be improved: Éramos seis y los sofás camas del salón no eran cómodos para dormir. Cogimos un colchón de la sala de lavandería para que durmiesen las niñas pero no era muy confortable.

  • Нам понравилось, спасибо владельцу апартаментов. Квартира не совсем подойдет людям высокого роста, так как на этаже где – Irena from Russia – July 5, 2025 (9/10)

    Удобные апартаменты, расположенные супер удобно в сердце старого города. Все необходимое для комфортного проживания имеется, достаточно посуды, есть таблетки для стиральной и посудомоечной машины, хорошие полотенца, утюг и даже отпариватель, полноразмерный холодильник быстрая связь с владельцем тоже очень немаловажно.

    What could be improved: Нам не хватило кондиционера, так как апарты находятся на последнем этаже, у самой крыши, то за день сильно прогревается сама крыша и вечером начинает отдавать это тепло, становится очень жарко и душно.

  • Sehr zentral – Christoph from Germany – August 14, 2025 (7/10)

    Super Lage

    What could be improved: Das Treppenhaus ist nicht schön und Dachgeschoss ohne Aufzug muss man mögen.

  • Recomendable – Anonymous from Spain – August 10, 2025 (9/10)

    La ubicación, la limpieza, muy buenas

    What could be improved: No tiene cafetera para hacer café reciente a las mañanas.
    El.sofå cama bastante incómodo
    Es ideal para 4 personas, que tienen sus camas, para más si les toca dormir en sofá es incómodo
    Más cajones para guardar la ropa, ya que no hay armarios por tema de espacio, es un ático con los techos bajos e inclinados en las habitaciones

  • Exceptional – Marta from Poland – August 21, 2025 (10/10)
