The Cona is a very clean, friendly and well located hostel on the edge of downtown Courtney, overlooking the meandering Puntledge River. Lucy at the desk was very welcoming and helpful. The hostel has a large, fully stocked kitchen and open common area with tv, DVDs, foos ball table, books, etc. It seemed pretty empty, only saw a couple of... More

Spent a night at the Cona Hostel in Courtenay since it was a convenient place to stay while we were in town to catch a show at the nearby Sid Williams Theater. It was as clean as you could ask for, and the staff was welcoming and attentive. I found the concrete floor in the kitchen/common area to be uncomfortable,... More

This was our third trip to Courtenay, BC where we stayed at The Cona Hostel. Perfectly situated for families visiting with or without a car...a couple of minutes from the main shopping street, coffee shops, parks, indoor skateboard park, tennis courts, kayak rentals, and it hangs (literally) over the river by the 5th Street Bridge. Shuttle will take you to... More

The location was pretty good right along side the river overlooking a park, walking distance to pubs, cafes and grocery store all pretty much on... More

The Cona hostel is one of the best set up hostels i've ever stayed in. It's great for solo travellers - you walk straight into the cosy lounge and the best stocked kitchen i've ever seen. It's a welcoming, friendly place and the hosts are also full of information on local activities and hiking routes in the must-see Strathcona Provincial... More

I've stayed in many hostels here and abroad and loved my experience at the Cona. Lots of local sites to take in and Ross made sure everyone had a chance to enjoy themselves!

Great location in Courtenay / Comox area, access to everything you want, and a clean / comfy / friendly place! The staff take good care of everything, and are super welcoming..... head to the Cona, you'll be glad you did.

Floating down the river outside the Kona, hiking in Strathcona Park, some of my best memories of last summer. Great staff, affordable, cool guests, number 1 location, this place rocks!
