There was a bit of confusion at the check-in as to who will be charging to, otherwise l, everything seems great. The hostel gave a fresh coat of paint throughout and cleanliness have stepped tremendously.

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.

The hostel was very close to the beach and park, but, very awkward for getting out of and into due to medians that made it impossible to cross roads.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

Pretty gross

Washrooms were gross, not clean, rundown, and no tp even after telling front desk. He said they filled it but we're at max capacity. Perhaps they should check it more frequently if at max capacity. Front desk guy was friendly and nice.

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.
