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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
