Same cost as a hotel room when you include the sneaky $20 a night parking, but you have to share a bathroom…. The front desk gentleman was friendly enough but you can tell he’s seen it all.

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.
