Didn't think much to the staff members who checked us in, and the rooms were your basic hostel rooms with a free-for-all on beds. That means if you draw the short straw with a top bunk, once someone moves out of a bottom bunk, strip your bed and move down. The kitchen was well stocked with batter and other food... More

The Samesun Hostel, is a convenient place to stay. It is on a main noisy road, but it also is close to town. There is no cafe/bar at this hostel, but it has a huge kitchen, which is really handy. The free breakfast is what you would expect for a free breakfast. The room was clean and the beds are... More

I stay here frequently and I'm always happy. The staff and service is fantastic, the building is always clean, and the common area always has fun activities going on. They also have a hot tub, ping pOng table, bbqs and are right across the street from all the pubs! Best backpacker option for Kelowna! More

Stayed here on two separate occasions, both for only one night. I had a bed in an 8-shared dorm, the mattress is thin as, you can feel the metal bars underneath, the room is small as and dark, when we were 8, you can hardly move around. Being on the back of the hostel gives you a ton of noise... More

Spent one night here in a dorm of 6 but it wasnt full at the time of staying. The rooms were basic bunk beds and the bathroom facilities were adequate and clean. The hostel has a great vibe and everyone I met was friendly. There is a patio area which is sociable and a massive kitchen area to chill out... More

I had a comfortable stay. It wasn't the best hostel I've stayed in, but the best SameSun hostel. I would return, because it was fine for my needs, but I would hesitate to recommend this hostel and the SameSun brand in general to friends. More

I stayed here for 4 nights and found it to best about as good a Hostel you can get for layout and social activity. The kitchen, dining and outdoor back yard all link up to create an amazing social hub that is very relaxing and great fun. The back yard is the best I have ever seen in a Hostel... More

My husband and I booked a private room. It was small. The bed was hard. The noise from the street was unbearable. The internet connection was lousy. All this, I could tolerate, however,...the kitchen area downstairs was FILTHY!!! (Moldy coffee pots, dirty dishes, unswept floor.) And, (here's the kicker) the shared bathroom had needles and syringes in the bin. I'm... More
