Fine.
We stayed for 2 weeks whilst relocating to the area and it was fine. A few minor issues but for Kelowna it was relatively cheap. Our double room with private bath was very very small. No storage, just some hooks on the wall, bathroom was a good size but dirty, I cleaned it myself on the first day. Towels are included and fresh ones are at the front desk daily, I also asked for a change of sheets and that was fine. The kitchen is large and well equipped, it’s cleaned regularly by staff. The staff all seem to live there but I didn’t really encounter anyone “in charge” they all seemed like backpackers who didn’t really care. The front door has a code but is rarely locked which is concerning considering how close it is to down town. People just came and went as they pleased without Reception seeming to care or monitor. Bike storage is an outdoor rack in the patio area. The parking on site is $10 a night which is a rip off considering the price of the rooms. However there is street parking available in the community behind the hostel. I would stay again if I needed but it’s definitely not the best hostel or in anyway luxurious. It needs better staff / cleaners and some major renovations to the rooms.

Good staff, Although the yard maintenance man, use the leaf blower to blow dust on us while we were seated on the patio. He could have cleaned early in the morning or later at night not during the day.
