The room was not clean properly. The toilet was not clean!!!! Bed sheets with stains. The kitchen was ok. Just we have an encounter with one girl that was saying I could not use the fridge because there were her things in there… The guy at the front desk was so nice.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hostel is in a prime location for access to the downtown and beach. There is also a nice residential neighborhood to the south where you can access beaches. It's a little noisy due to the busy road outside, but if you're in a hostel you probably have some noise tolerance anyway. I would recommend this as an economical place to stay for a weekend in Kelowna.
