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!

Verified review

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.
Verified review

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

8/10 Very good

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.
