I thought this hostel was a great option to stay in a pretty expensive city. I booked a private room with a washroom and it was a good price for what it was. Parking is an extra $10 a day which seemed very reasonable. Overall, perfect location and decent place!

Great location near the city park and lakefront. Easy to use without having a car. Good access to downtown, and public transportation routes. The AC worked well. I was glad to have a single room and bathroom. It’s a hostel- Nice big kitchen and nice back patio.

2/10 Poor

Close to the park and beach. Room completely different from the pictures in teb website for 1 queen bed. Expect for a very basic room with just bed, small washroom and shower. Walls has lots of stains.

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!

Staff were very helpful, especially when I asked how I could retrieve my bicycle before the 7 am open time. And, extra kudos to the people who turned in my forgotten electronic equipment, and to the staff who will hold it for me until I can return to retrieve it! Negative: very close to main noisy highway coming in from the south/west.

Location was good and the room was decent enough but definitely older and needs an upgrade.

This is a hostel in downtown Kelowna. The room is tiny. Bathroom functional. We booked a private room/ bathroom. Excellent staff, $10 paid parking adjacent. Short walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Room was quiet, bed clean. Good value if you're passing through and do not need bells and whistles.

6/10 Good

The staff at the counter were excellent, very attentive and professional. The place was very clean and pleasant, bathrooms and kitchen areas included. What was bad for me, was the immediate proximity to the noisy Highway, (It's 'just there' right to the entrance, and the loud, constant noise of the vehicles 24/7 is too much for human comfort. Everything else was OK.
