A Sunflower Stop Backpackers Reviews

An alternative to staying in the heart of the city is the more upmarket suburb of Green Point where there a number of hostels to choose from, including A Sunflower Stop Backpackers Hostel - Cape Town. The hostel sits right on Main Road, which runs from the city center out to Hout Bay via Camps Bay and Sea Point.

The Location

The seafront is only a ten-minute walk away and the street has many restaurants, shops, a supermarket, and bank ATMs within a five-minute walk.

Rooms and Bathrooms

This neat little place has a smattering of double, twin, and dorm rooms; most of them share ablutions, although there are a few en suite rooms. There are two dorms -- one of six beds and one of eight beds. The wooden bunks are sturdy and the rooms spotless. The mattresses are good, the linen clean and crisp, and the duvets warm. An extra blanket is provided for the Cape Town winters and there's a ceiling fan for the summers. Lockers are provided, for which you need your own padlock, and there is a light for each bed. There are many showers and toilets dotted around the house, all clean, and the hot water is available twenty-four hours a day. The showers are spacious and there are plenty of hooks for clothes.

Common Spaces

As you enter the property from the street through the security door, you'll find the small plunge pool in the front yard, and the tiny bar on your way to the reception desk in the main house. Upstairs, there is a small lounge with comfortable sofas and a flat-screen TV with hundreds of channels. There is free, very fast Wi-Fi that's available throughout the house, including the dorms and the rooms at the back of the house. The guests' kitchen is clean and well looked after. Guests will find a toaster, kettle, sandwich toaster, microwave, cooker, and a cabinet fridge. There is a sitting area by the kitchen with power points for a laptop breakfast. Free tea is available here all day. No meals are available, but there are many eateries and food shops within a five-minute walk.

Summary

This is billed on the hostel website as a luxury backpackers, and it is a very nice place to stay. There are boutique hostels in Green Point at a much higher price that might dispute this opinion, but it is very good value for money. It has a coziness and warmth, and it is one of the better budget hostels in Cape Town. Day trips and tours further afield can be arranged here, and it is on the backpackers' Baz Bus route. All in all, this is a very good choice.
