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.

Kelowna International Hostel is located 5 minutes' walk from Okanagan Lake and the beach at Strathcona Park. Guests can enjoy evening entertainment and an on-site snack bar.

Kelowna city centre is only 5 minutes' drive from the hostel. The nearest airport is Kelowna Airport, 15 km away.

Our stay at this hostel was ideal! We had no problems with the room itself, the kitchen had everything you needed and the indoor and outdoor common spaces were spot on (free breakfast and free pasta night topped it off). The best thing about the hostel was it had a brilliant atmosphere and vibe. The whole week we felt very comfortable, everyone was so friendly and it was easy to make new travelling friends. Ben and the staff do an amazing job running it, thanks guys!l

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.

    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.

    The location is good. I booked on the same day and it was the cheapest option at $50 (I’m a back pack traveller so budget is a big deal - this still felt quite expensive) I was greatful they had availability on the day.

    I had good experience staying at this hostel with two female friends. Rooms and common areas are fairly clean. Breakfast is acceptable. Nice place to meet new people and hear their stories.

    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.

    We stayed in peak summer and it was by far the cheapest option, and exceeded our expectations. Excellent value for money, the private rooms are spacious, staff are lovely, comfortable beds, and great location. I'll definitely be returning!
