The dormitories and the bathroom were so clean and the responsible gave me some eggs and a banana because everything was close. It was 9:30pm.

Located 13.2 km from downtown, UBC's Okanagan Campus offers free WiFi.

There are air-conditioned student rooms, suites and apartments with private bathrooms, free WiFi, basic kitchens, and common lounges. Everything! Check in process was so professional! Room was spotless clean and spacious. We took a 1 bedroom apartment with living room and kitchenette. The campus itself is very beautiful, located in Okanagon Valley. It was a great value of money that we paid. Our main purpose to take this accommodation was to show our high school daughter how the university dorms are. We found our stay very helpful.

The atmosphere was super welcoming and it was so easy to meet people – perfect for solo travelers. The staff were incredibly kind and always happy to help with recommendations or just have a chat. The location was ideal, close to everything I needed, and the hostel itself was clean, cozy, and had a great vibe. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were always clean, and the common areas had a really chill energy. I also appreciated the small details – lockers, good Wi-Fi, and a well-equipped kitchen.
