Fiona

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.
