The property has an excellent location and the staff is most welcoming, friendly and helpful!

The hostel was worth the money, not so expensive.
Bhavana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

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!

Deep cleaning your walls, inside the rooms is something I would like to suggest

4/10 Fair

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Good staff, Although the yard maintenance man, use the leaf blower to blow dust on us while we were seated on the patio. He could have cleaned early in the morning or later at night not during the day.
Praveen, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Highly unprofessional stuff they booked me in and then they said they would accept my ID and did not when I was there left me homeless and cold on the street thank God a friend was able to get me into a hotel or I would have been on the street after booking through Expedia to them I arrived and nothing they said was right would never ever recommend them
Damon, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Clean Facilities and Helpful Staff. Decent Short.

My stay at the HI was generally good, as it was just for one night. The bunk bed wasn’t very comfortable because the mattress seemed were old, and the room was quite small. The best part was the TV inside the private room, which had many channels options. The women’s washrooms were really clean, and the receptionist were friendly and helpful in giving me directions to where I wanted to go.

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.
Sari, 3-night trip

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.
