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!

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.
