The hostel is in a prime location for access to the downtown and beach. There is also a nice residential neighborhood to the south where you can access beaches. It's a little noisy due to the busy road outside, but if you're in a hostel you probably have some noise tolerance anyway. I would recommend this as an economical place to stay for a weekend in Kelowna.

I enjoyed this hostel it was clean and very close to the park and town, nice patio, free coffee, nice big kitchen and friendly staff. It was mellow and comfy bed. Only thing for me is I like bigger lockers but it did fit my backpack. Would stay again. Thanks!

Pretty gross

Washrooms were gross, not clean, rundown, and no tp even after telling front desk. He said they filled it but we're at max capacity. Perhaps they should check it more frequently if at max capacity. Front desk guy was friendly and nice.

Fine.

We stayed for 2 weeks whilst relocating to the area and it was fine. A few minor issues but for Kelowna it was relatively cheap. Our double room with private bath was very very small. No storage, just some hooks on the wall, bathroom was a good size but dirty, I cleaned it myself on the first day. Towels are included and fresh ones are at the front desk daily, I also asked for a change of sheets and that was fine. The kitchen is large and well equipped, it’s cleaned regularly by staff. The staff all seem to live there but I didn’t really encounter anyone “in charge” they all seemed like backpackers who didn’t really care. The front door has a code but is rarely locked which is concerning considering how close it is to down town. People just came and went as they pleased without Reception seeming to care or monitor. Bike storage is an outdoor rack in the patio area. The parking on site is $10 a night which is a rip off considering the price of the rooms. However there is street parking available in the community behind the hostel. I would stay again if I needed but it’s definitely not the best hostel or in anyway luxurious. It needs better staff / cleaners and some major renovations to the rooms.

The room was tiny and the window wouldn't stay open. The AC was a bit wonky so it was hot. Just needs a tad more attention on the curtain length so the AC doesn't get covered.

There was a bit of confusion at the check-in as to who will be charging to, otherwise l, everything seems great. The hostel gave a fresh coat of paint throughout and cleanliness have stepped tremendously.
