Amazing!
I booked into this hostel for three days and stayed for a week! An amazing oasis in the city, this place is a gold mine. The staff are friendly and helpful and their knowledge on the tours was so helpful and made life easy! The place is clean and homely and I miss it already! I will be going back there. Well done to the greatest place in Cape Town!

The place is excellent. The staff were really friendly and were more than happy to help. The place was clean with a big kitchen for preparing food. Also spent many a late night at the bar. It is very nice.

The Sunflower Stop is the best of all the backpackers' hostels in Cape Town. I've been here more than four times and it was always the best stop. It is much fun, with nice people, safe, and very friendly and helpful staff. I am very pleased with this place. I will be there again in February and am looking forward to it.

We had a very pleasant stay at Sunflower at the end of our trip in South Africa. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended! I would not hesitate to stay there again.

This is the nicest hostel in Cape Town. Hostels aren't that nice in general, but this one is an exception. The staff are really great. Shaba, the bartender, is really funny.

This place has a very friendly staff, and basic but clean rooms. It's very welcoming. I would stay here again if I'm in Cape Town.

I stayed at this hostel in 1997. I'm looking it up to tell a friend that they must stay here. It looks like it's still enjoyed to this day by the many travelers that are lucky enough to enter its doors.

The people who work there became great friends. I love this place! I wish I had never left! I miss you guys! The kitchen is large, and perfect for even the biggest of meals. The rooms are spotless. The bar is the best place to be in Cape Town, and the pool is simply tempting. The service there cannot be repeated anywhere! This is the ONLY place to stay!

The best place to stay in Cape Town! The people who work here are great! Yoda is crazy! And Sandy is a real darling! It's clean, has a nice kitchen, a refreshing pool, a great bar and the service is excellent. Don't bother looking for another place to live, THIS IS IT!!
