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.

Women's washroom was clogged and not draining. My wife was unaware of it and was caught in a bad place. A warning would have been nice

The room was good value for pricey Penticton. I liked the feel of the hostel and the common areas. The shower was good and we were thankful for it after a few days of dry camping. Location was good for us, because we had a car. But we were able to walk to pubs and restaurants.

A small fan in the room would have been nice....it was quite hot during our stay.

Location was great, steps away from the Main Street. The shared facilities (kitchen, dining area, living room, and outdoor area) were really nice. Affordable laundry (wash, dry, and detergent) available on-site.

The shower needs renovations. It was functional but definitely my least favorite part of the stay.

In general the accomodation in BC area is not great and extremely overpriced. This was the best hostel we stayed in and the most affordable one, but maybe it's because we were there in low season.

I have nothing bad to say, everything was great 😃.

Dormitory and Bathrooms were nice and clean. Kitchen was maintained clean too. Easy check in & check out process, service was good too.

Wish there was plug points for each bed. Parking within property would have been great, but roadside parking was available and free on holidays.

good location, walking distance from most things a tourist wants to do. it is what you pay for a hostel bed, but clean, host and guests were friendly. kitchen is well equipped, has a nice dining sitting area too, even an outdoor patio.

it says free parking, but only have room for three cars, luckily there is parking nearby on the street. only has one shower for females.

Great staff! Clean, quiet,great location, comfortable stay.! I would recommend.

What isn't to like. If you come in the spring/summer it's too warm n hot come in the fall / winter it's cool n cold... I enjoyed my stay.. Thank you HI Penticton Hostel..Merry Christmas to you and Happy new year 2023

great little place, quiet and clean.

not a lot of free parking (only 3 spots) but when I was there, there weren't a lot of other guests so it didn't matter. Attendant also tried to charge me a second time so watch out for that.

Great location. Super friendly staff. Complimentary Tim Horton's doughnuts for all guests just before we left. Will stay again. Perfect!

it said free parking but during my trip the (only) 3 free parking spots were always occupied, so I couldnt use them.
