Extremely disappointing stay, poor service and major issues with rooms and communication.

Nothing to report due to the circumstances during my stay. I cannot comment positively on this stay due to an incident that occurred.

Great last minute stay with very friendly and helpful staff at HI penticton

Had a bit of a mishap with checking in but staff were super friendly and happy to help even late at night. Caretaker Jeremy did his best to sort everything out for me despite being on vacation and Lisa was awesome too. Thanks again for a lovely last minute stay :)

I am unsure how to evaluate this establishment. The staff was extremely accommodating, and I applaud their exceptional effort to assist us. However, there were some significant issues. Initially, when I made the online booking, it was for a different room. Subsequently, the room I had reserved was no longer available, and the communication attempts from the hostel seemed suspicious, as they came from a different number in Toronto that I assumed to be spam. Upon arrival, we were informed that only single beds with two other male occupants were available, which was not suitable as I am a female. Despite this, the staff member was very accommodating and managed to rearrange things so that my boyfriend and I could have a room together, which was satisfactory. Unfortunately, the room lacked air conditioning, and the temperature was nearly forty degrees Celsius. Given the unbearable conditions, I had to seek alternative accommodations at great expense during a busy weekend, costing me almost $800. While I appreciate the efforts of the staff under challenging circumstances, the property itself was subpar, and the online booking system was unreliable.

A budget stay with a common kitchen

It has everything you expect from a hostel. A community kitchen, a seating area with TV, few magazines, a patio and backyard, 3 stalls of free parking at the back and a warm host at the reception. I stayed with my partner, this was my second visit and I found them the same 2 years apart. The location is on a semi-busy street so you can hear cars passing by at night, that's a pain but acceptable enough. The private room was a little small, but we managed since this is a value-for-money place. They offer the cheapest option to stay in, and a kitchen means you don't have to spend $$$ for your meals. Overall recommended.
