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!

This hostel is great for its proximity to downtown. Everyone there (staff and other guests) were really friendly. The room and private bathroom were fairly clean, but there was some dust build-up in the corners, a little bit of grime, etc. If you are used to backpacking, budget international travel, etc. you'll feel right at home. One of the bedside lamps in my room didn't work, but there was a second lamp and the overhead light, so it wasn't a big deal. The blackout curtains are a nice touch, and the quiet hours are strictly followed. One issue I had was with the front door code. It changes each night, and is communicated through signs inside the building. When I left at 8AM some mornings it had not been updated yet. At the desk I was told the code would stay the same as the previous night, but when I came back at night, I found the code I had didn't work, and had in fact been changed. Thankfully, another guest opened the door for me, so I could avoid the charge for ringing the doorbell.

Kann man machen wenn man muss

+ ich hatte Glück und hatte das Damen Zimmer für nich alleine + aufgrund der niedrigen Belegung durfte ich gratis parkieren - es ist leider schon sehr schmudelig - das Zimmer war Eiskalt (01.01.25). Ich hab in Thermo Unterwäsche und Pyjama geschlafen. - Selbst um 7:30Uhr gab es noch kein Frühstück.

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.
