The place, the people, the staff, and the energy of the place were truly amazing! It was the best hostel experience I've had, and I've met so many great people here. The staff was amazing, and went above and beyond what was expected from them! Especially Sim and Augusto has made the stay at Sunflower to the great experience it was. I would highly recommend them to any other hostel that needs new employees, or any other company that is looking for loyal and customer-oriented employees.

There was a ceiling window in my room that we couldn't cover up, so the room was quite bright all night, and early in the morning.

We stayed in the double af the front. This does experience some road noise, but we managed to mask this with the use of the ceiling fan, which only had 2 settings off and basically turbo. Staff, especially the guy on reception, was friendly and helpful. Worth noting that the hostel has its own bar, so no point like us turning up with bottles of wine from your wine tasting trip as you will not be allowed to drink them. Bed was comfortable Wifi was good Free coffee 7-10am and big kitchen available for all your self catering needs. Didn't use the pool. Didn't experience any load shedding during our stay.

I have stayed here twice now and it really is a good experience. It is a very chilled and straightforward spot. The rooms are very nice to stay in, it is clean and the location is wonderful. I always choose this backpackers when visiting DHL Stadium - it is walking distance when there is an event and no ubers/transport available afterwards. I would highly recommend it in terms of location for the night of an event in Green Point, especially if you took a plane to Cape Town. There is no parking inside the accommodation which will make it challenging when travelling with a vehicle.

The communal toilet and shower facilities and parking challenges are the only things I can mention that I did not like.

The whole atmosphere inside the walls was lovely. The pool looked good, the bar was well presented and the staff were just so friendly. Ubers always arrived within a minute or two to get around, and the V&A Waterfront was walkable in under half an hour.

We expected more atmosphere around the bar at night. We were led to believe that most nights something would be happening but there was only one braai the whole week we were there.

I really enjoyed my stay here, it has a great vibe, really easy to meet people, and its not so big that it can be overwhelming for introverted travellers looking to meet people. Lots of locals come to visit and for Braii night. (BBQ) so there's a good relaxed social environment. The staff were great, keen to help out and have great recommendations and local knowledge. Jonno's sports massage was amazing and a really good discounted rate for the guests. They have plenty of tours and activities you can book here. Showers have hot water, beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is really good and spacious by hostel standards. There are also good communal spaces and the pool to cool off in and a very cheap bar! Well located and its definitely worth a stay. I move into an apartment here but will be back for Braii night! Thanks team!!

Everyone was so warm and welcoming. The place was clean. It's a hostel where you can chill easily.... not hectic at all. One can definitely relax at it's own pace. I loved my experience with the hostel, the staff and of course the amazing people I met. would definitely be booking this hostel again.

the bed weren't that comfortable. Maybe it's quite old and needs to get replaced.

It is always a pleasure staying with the team at A Sunflower Spot Backpackers, in Capetown. The staff are lovely, check-in is always a breeze and while the rooms are simple, they are clean, comfortable and well kept. One of my favourite things about Sunflower is the coffee in the morning for the guests. There is always a fresh pot of coffee in the morning when I wake up and that makes a world of difference, especially on cold wintery mornings. Sunflower is well positioned on the main road, in Greenpoint. Access to the My Citi bus stops is easy, and you can head off to the Waterfront, Seapoint, Greenpoint or town pretty easily. If you like walking, you can walk these areas as well, from the backpackers. The kitchen at the Sunflower hostel is one of my favourites when it comes to hostels in Capetown. I love that you can still make food during load shedding as they have Gas stoves. In summer, a dip in their rather large pool is a treat and in the evenings, sitting around the bar playing 30 seconds with other guests is fun. They have two braai areas, one inside and one outside, that mean Braai nights can go on, even on rainy days. Again, they provide a salad on braai nights, which you can add to your meal, just remember to buy your meet early in the day from the local supermarket down the road. Special mention to the staff members, Augusto, Hans, Cardi and Vinny who made my most recent stay, an absolute treat. I will be back soon.

I don't have anything that I do not like about the property, my only suggestion to all properties in this time of load shedding is to try and get an inverter. This keeps some plugs and lights working, and the wifi. I find being able to still use the wifi and a plug point or two during load shedding (especially the four-hour ones) is a big help when travelling, working and or making plans. Unfortunately something we need to all be aware of in South Africa at this time.

It’s such a homey environment. Such a good energy and vibe. I met many amazing, fun travellers from all around the world and many good laughs were had around the Sunflower bar. Shared stories late into the night with the coffee service that never fails to put a smile on my face. Truly a great week and money well spent. My home away from home 🌻

The swimming pool. The rooms. The paint on the walls. The staff. The atmosphere. The location.

I booked Sunflower for my sister and her partner. They had a tight budget but they wanted to experience Capetown. They phoned me as soon as they arrived. Telling me how nice their accommodation was and the location of the establishment was convenient as it closer to all places and activities they wanted to do. They did not spend much on transport. They even extended their stay with no hustle.

The location in green point was perfect for us, in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. The premises were super neat and tidy, we met very nice personnel that helped us and attended us all the way through our stay. The room was clean and bigger than expected and the beds super comfy. Even the kitchen space was very functional and equipped. We would definitely recommend this place.

Maybe the room was a bit humid. I guess there is not much to do about it in winter time, but for sure it was a minor issue.
