Everything! Check in process was so professional! Room was spotless clean and spacious. We took a 1 bedroom apartment with living room and kitchenette. The campus itself is very beautiful, located in Okanagon Valley. It was a great value of money that we paid. Our main purpose to take this accommodation was to show our high school daughter how the university dorms are. We found our stay very helpful.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Beds were comfortable. Quiet location with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was closed during our stay. It was exactly what we needed in a difficult time (during the state of emergency due to summer fires). Flights were cancelled and we needed a single night stay before catching a ride to YVR. There were not many accommodation options still available so we appreciated getting this one. A clean and safe solution.

    I’ve stayed here before and I like everything about this hostel except it’s squeaky bunk beds and outside road noice if you stay in a room on the front of the building.

    Front desk staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. Location is central. Room was sound proof. Different types of pillow choices for comfort. Good enough for a cheap hotel. I've stayed in several other discount hotels in the area and this one is definitely in my top 3. Courtyard/parking lot is lit up well at night for safety. This was my third or fourth time staying here in 3 years.

    For a cheaper option this hostel is the way to go. Friendly front desk person, parking, and we had the room to ourselves as our room had just the 1 bunk bed (thought we would for sure have roomates). Location is alright 20 min walk to get to the music venue we were going to and several breweries.
