A great stay that is affordable and no frills as advertised. A pass to the fitness centre would be a great value add instead of having to pay a day fee. There is nothing open for food options on weekends so needed to go out first thing each morning for a coffee. Planned to use the cooking lounge but unfortunately our’s was taken over by a large group so there was no way we could utilize it either night. No fault of facility just how it rolls sometimes. Appreciate the free parking! Thanks UBCO.

All looks good and it'll be perfect if the water pressure can be higher....

Had a pleasant stay at UBCO over the summer in several bookings. The campus is safe and convenient to explore Kelowna and Lake county. It’s convenient even without a car. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Rooms are clean and probably one of few options in Kelowna that has studio rooms. Basic but good. Great value as well.

Excellent hotel in Kelowna during the summer. Well equipped but basic rooms with mountain views for some of their studio rooms. Friendly service. Great value. And regular bus service straight to downtown Kelowna and across. You don’t need a car. While few dining options on campus, delivery is plentiful. 24 hr front desk and friendly staff.

Had several bookings over the summer in Kelowna while exploring the Okanagan and always had a pleasant experience at UBCO. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Basic but good hotel that is well run. All the staff are eager to help guests feel welcomed from housekeeping to front desk. Rooms are basic but clean and some have great mountain views. It’s quiet and safe. Probably the best value you can find during summer in Kelowna.

Enjoyed our stay

The stay was great, my mom was amazed. The only thing that could be improved is the show, very limited space, making it more challenging to complete a shower. We'll come back next year anyway.

Shower is too small.

I was picking up some people at the airport who were on a late flight so i decided to spend one night in Kelowna. For three people the student residency rooms were cheaper than nearby hotels. As a very basic place to sleep for one night, it was ok.

It's quiet from the city's hussle. You need a car to go around. Campus is good and quiet. Rooms were clean. It's just that if they could provide basic toiletries like toothpaste and body wash it would be awesome.

Experience on campus is unique. Living room and kitchen is spacious in 4 bedroom suite. Bed comforter a bit odour though.

Clean space. A tasty breakfast on campus at the café.

Very nice accommodation except that you had to use 2 separate elevators going to the room. Otherwise, it’s nice

We had a great stay. Students taking care of registrations were extremely curious and accommodating. Would stay again.

The showerhead at the bathroom was very powerful. You couldn’t change it to any different level. The faucet in the washroom is coming really really slow. You couldn’t even wash your hand properly and there’s not much stuff in it to use very basic and I did not like it whatsoever.

Very peaceful however there was nothing to do in the area and no TV or other source of entertainment for evening enjoyment.

The place was neat and tidy. Very well recommended.

As previously commented, food services wasn't readily accessible.

We have enjoyed staying here a few times...but this time, there were no food outlets open & I couldn't even locate the vending machines...fortunately, we had stashed some snacks for our trip.

Overall, the hotel was great, but the water pressure was very low.

quite & clean

Considering price and size, this was very comfortable and nice accomodation. Highly recommended. Shared kitchen is well managed and no refriger in room but available in shared kitchen for my 2 bedroom unit. It is a residence in UBC.

I like how clean , quiet and safe the place but my only concern is aircon is not that cold on our room. But over-all is highly recommended.

The property itself was beautiful and the signage to get to check in was wonderfully marked. We had one small pot to cook with in our 4bedroom suite. No dry rack for cleanup and one dish cloth for 5 days for 4 of us made cooking anything very slow. We hit up the dollar store for items and it felt like we were camping. I would highly suggest putting padding on the dining room chairs- it was SO loud to pull them out and too heavy to lift. We could also hear the other family above us having the same issue. Dining room table had padding on the legs so not hard to do the chairs. We stayed for 5 nights and it was comfortable, we had to sleep with all 4 bedroom doors open so we could get some of the AC from the living room into our bedrooms. Also the elevator broke the morning we were leaving and getting all of our stuff down the stairs with a wagon was interesting. If we were to book again it would only be on a top floor so we don’t hear those who can’t sleep walking around above us all night. It was hard to sleep and very little sound barrier between the units. Even with earplugs I could hear them banging around. Finding parking for our building was absolutely impossible! After a long day and tired kids we had to park at a different building not even near where we were staying. There should be designated parking in the building we are staying at- others had the same issue and had to drive around until they found something.

As they said on the welcome email, it’s not a five-star hotel but it has clean rooms and friendly staff. That much and more is true. You’ll find very functional rooms (yes they are student dorms but well fitted with comfy bed, pillows, and a shower with good water pressure) Along with a safe and comfortable campus to explore in Kelowna. If you book the studio rooms, it is located up the mountain which may make it difficult to get to but they offer a buggy service at check in making it effortless to bring your luggage’s up. It also means incredible views whether right from your room if you get an even number room facing the mountains or on your way down the residence building. The campus is safe and vibrant even during summer and while many dining options close at 4 pm, you can get pretty much any grocery or food delivered right to you with UberEats, along with dominos. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and seek to provide guests with a pleasant experience. They’re eager to help and professional. It’s a reliable accommodation option in Kelowna for all types of travellers who want a clean and comfortable room with friendly service. The studio rooms are stocked with everything you need as well including cups and plates, and the coffee is good. There is a refillable water fountains at the check in building that you can use to refill with filtered water which is convenient and more eco-friendly than constantly buying 4L jugs. Highly recommend UBCO hotel in Kelowna.

Nice and quite! A typical university experience.

UBCO conference and accommodation runs a very good hotel in Kelowna (presumably during the summer as they convert dorm rooms to a hotel). It’s not a half-baked effort but everything from the check in, to the front desk, coffee, rooms, housekeeping, and amenities are all well ironed out. It’s a no-frills hotel but with very professional and friendly service and a 24 hour front desk who would be happy to help. The price is often paired to some of the cheapest rates you can find in Kelowna during the summer but the experience, cleanliness, and service exceeds expectations of hotels in Kelowna at similar price points. If you don’t drive, the campus has a bus interchange that allows easy access to lake country, downtown Kelowna, Dilworth, and grocery stores or shopping just minutes away. There’s nothing bad to be said about my experience at UBCO hotels. The studio rooms in monashee residence is located atop the campus but also, there is a nice hiking trial up the mountain that can provide great views of Kelowna and the picturesque mountain views. There’s a vending machine with snacks and another with drinks within the building for convenience although you can also order delivery with UberEats at pretty much any time. (Quite a few fast food restaurants open late nearby the airport park and of course dominos is always near any campus… and this branch has friendly and impressively quick delivery drivers too; if you order dominos on UberEats, they deliver with dominos drivers)

I brought my two granddaughters for a mini vacation to Kelowna. I loved having separate bedrooms and the connecting bathroom. No TV but who needs it.

Pleasant surprise

Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. The suite was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we were looking for including A/C. Easy, scenic drive into downtown Kelowna via Glenmore Rd. The bathroom exhaust vent wasn't working. There was moisture damage on the ceiling in the shower stall which may have been a result of improper moisture ventilation.

Great sized rooms for a family - a big apartment, with separate bedrooms and large kitchen area. But strangely under equipped - 4 dining chairs for an apartment of 5, 4 glasses, etc, and little cooking equipment in a huge kitchen But campus lovely and great location - modern, nice views, helpful service
