I would argue the best hostel in Kelowna. Not the cheapest but the nicest. Great front desk staff, clean, huge kitchen, outdoor area and comfy bunk beds. It's very close to the centre of town & the lake front. I stayed as part of a massive group and they ran it all very well (I think with a few regular... More

Myself and 2 mates stayed in this hostel for 1 night on my way from Vancouver to Big White on December the 1st 2013. The Hostel was completely dead while we were there, it felt like we were the only ones there. Everything about this hostel is awesome (except the distance from the Greyhound station). We stayed in a 6... More

I just needed a place to stay for the night on the way to banff. It was a nice hostel - clean although the kitchen could really have done with more clean tea towels. The chick at the front desk didn't have to much info on the area & towards the end of the night most people were fairly drunk... More

This is a decent hostel with a nice staff. Was is it good value for the money - I would say yes given its location - very close to where most things are happening. So all in all a good experience - but do not come in with high expectations when it comes to the rooms and facilities. :-)

I stayed at Samesun in Kelowna for three days. The hostel by itself is average but some details give a little push : - The staff is very nice, answer all the questions, help you etc ! Thanks guys ! - Kitchen is big enough (lots of fridge too) - The little "beer garden" when you can sit/relax/talk to other... More

I booked this hostel because I thought it would be cheaper than a hotel. I thought the price was expensive. When I saw the room I wanted to leave. I stayed a couple of nights and for a few $ more I stayed at a hotel nearby. The room was so small, old mattress, linens stained. Had to have the... More

I only stayed one night at the SameSun in Kelowna, but was not happy there. The room I was put in smelled terribly like sweat. People were extremely noisy so I couldn't sleep a lot. Also, staff was not knowledgeable at all, they couldn't even tell me the code for the main door without having to double-check which I think... More

I liked SameSun Kelowna because it was cheap, clean and well-located. I stayed in a four-bedroom mixed dorm - found the room to be a bit small but otherwise OK. The set-up was two sets of bunk beds along one wall and four large lockers on the opposite wall (BYO padlock or you can buy one for $5 at the... More

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
