Would stay again

I loved staying at the Sunflower Stop. It was a clean, nice hostel. My only complaint was that the room I was staying in was pretty noisy so it was sometimes hard to fall asleep at night and the door was really difficult to unlock. I would stay here again though!

Sunflower

Great staff, very welcoming and informative. I booked a mixed dorm and was given an option to stay in a women's only room with a bottom bunk or go into the mixed room as the only female. The free breakfast was just what's needed to get my day started. Sunflower is close to the waterfront, stadium, has a supermarket close and plenty of resaurants near that are walkable.

Great location, very clean, but a bit noisy

I found the hostel very pleasant and clean. The self catering kitchen was spacious, modern and it had all the utensils you need for cooking. Most of the time the wifi works well and the staff is friendly. At night time it got a bit noisy tho. You could hear the music from the bar all the way to the dorm and often the cigarette smoke would drift inside which I found a bit unpleasant. Overall a very nice hostel tho with good value for money.

Comfortable and clean hostel.

Stayed in the dorm. Pros: good common areas, friendly and helpful staff, nicely stocked kitchen, comfortable bunk beds, nice showers with plenty of stalls, nice and clean hostel. Cons: really loud floors: You can hear people stomping around all night, terribly slow wifi. Hostel is conveniently located near a bus stop, however not too much within walking distance.

Spring break

it was great! Although my fitted sheet had a small stain, and there was an issue with my card- the stay was great. Comfy beds, clean community bathrooms, and accommodating staff.

For the price it was a good deal. Basic hostel with all that that usually entails. Location was excellent though, in a safe area and in walking distance of everything. Receptionist came off a but brusque and sarcastic at times but was probably just a misguided attempt at humour.

Great trendy accomodation in Cape Town on budget

Good location, friendly helpful staff. Ensuite room with the shower was great as well as kitchen with the fridge and cooking facilities. Safe and secure.we spent two nights at this comfortable place. There is swiming pool but it was too cold to swim at the time. Staff was very helpful with booking excurcions and accommodation. Recommended for the budget conscious travellers.
