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.

This is a hostel in downtown Kelowna. The room is tiny. Bathroom functional. We booked a private room/ bathroom. Excellent staff, $10 paid parking adjacent. Short walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Room was quiet, bed clean. Good value if you're passing through and do not need bells and whistles.

I enjoyed this hostel it was clean and very close to the park and town, nice patio, free coffee, nice big kitchen and friendly staff. It was mellow and comfy bed. Only thing for me is I like bigger lockers but it did fit my backpack. Would stay again. Thanks!
