The hostel is near Green Point Stadium and 10 min walk from the Waterfront. You can get downtown in 30 minutes walk. We got there by car and parked it on the pavement in front of the hostel. We stayed in this hostel twice: first time we stayed one night and we had a small but clean bedroom with bathroom.... More

The hostel is nicely situated, close to the harbour and with shops within easy walking distance. The hostel is close enough to Long Street to make nights out easy with a cheap taxi fare, but also far enough away that the area is quiet in the evenings, although as always just be careful walking around at night on your own....

Nice, safe, clean and a very helpful staff. The kitchen was nice and tidy. A good place to start exploring Cape Town and the areas around. More

Nothing special, but a nice place. We had the private room with bathroom - everything you'd need. Prices were cut as it was low season (and S.A. tourism was down a bit after the World Cup) so it was a good deal. Staff were helpful when they were on duty - we checked out early one morning and were trying... More

Very nice hostel in good location about a 15 minute walk from the vw waterfront. We got the double room with ensuite, which was simple, clean, good bed and in-room safe, but noisy as it was facing the street and noisy BBQ/bar/courtyard area. More

Stayed for 3 nights in May with my boyfriend. Staff were helpful, rooms and bathrooms very clean. Noisy floors as it's an old-ish building. Really good kitchen facilities with free tea/coffee. Internet a bit expensive at R25/hour, but there's a much cheaper place at R9/hour just down the road. More

I stayed at the Sunflower Stop because it was close to the stadium and I was attending the U2 concert. Some bad reviews here caught my sight, but I booked anyway and do not regret it. I'm really picky with shared bathroom facilities and they were very clean, very tidy here. Also, my husband and I were in a double... More

We stayed at Sunflower for 5 nights and we think this accommondation was good. We weren't really the target group for this place, since we neither was between 20-30 or into "going out at night and partying" but we liked the place anyway. We stayed in a private twin room and that was okay. The first room we got was... More

I stayed at Sunflower for 3 weeks in a dorm room. The rooms were clean and serviced on a daily basis, the showers and toilets were very clean too. All the staff were very helpful and the barman was the life of the party. Sunflower is in a great location, 10 min walk from V&A and 5 mins in a... More
