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.

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.

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.

Well not the greatest experience. I was in Kelowna being there for the passing of my father. The next day, I'm in a PRIVte room the manager and worket just walked in my private room demanding to Paint the bathroom. Just finished showeri G so they barged when I was changing. I had a private room with bathroom, totally invading my privacy. Not sure what makes theabzge think they can't paint a room with guests in it . Terrible experience

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!
