Everything was good, I slept really well at night. The only problem was the shower drain was clogged in the shower stalls that I used, but it did not affect me much.

I stayed in a three bedroom Girls dorm with an ensuite barhroom which was rad and had the room mostly to myself, but for one late night roommate who only came to drop and pickup a bag after what I assume was some Berlin raving. Good on ya. I only stayed one night during low season and found Sunflower had everything I needed, comfortable bed with clean linens, what looked like a sociable atmosphere downstairs, good access to transport links. Most importantly, after a long day of travel I found the Canadian at reception to be such a wonderful, kind and helpful human. Management take note, not all hostel receptions are this awesome, welcoming and pleasant. It was so nice to be greeted and helped like that in yet another new and foreign city. Thank you so much!

Ideal place to stop

Trendy hostel more suited to 18-35 but a friendly vibe and good bar. Friendly staff and airey rooms. Ideal location as quiet neighbourhood not far from night life

Avoid at all cost!

This would have to be the worst place to stay! It was dirty, noisy throughout the night and unsafe. Security was nonexistent as drifters from the street had access to enter the building. I would never recommend this place!

Not once—in my 4-night stay—was my single room (not a dorm) cleaned. Bed linen was dirty with chocolate (hopefully) stains. And you must give a 10€ deposit for bedsheets and a tiny towel, which must be brought back at checkout. Worst: it’s overpriced when compared to other (better) hotels in the area. This describes SunFlower best: “Charge 'em for the lice, extra for the mice/Two percent for looking in the mirror twice/Here a little slice, there a little cut/Three percent for sleeping with the window shut”. Stay away!
