In a poor location, feels like a jail and yet no safe parking for hire car. Possibly ideal for 19 year olds on a budget whose ideal Cape Town holiday is to get drunk and play loud music by a dirty pool by a main road until 4am every night. Anyone else should avoid.

This hostel is fantastic. Close to everything, the waterfront a 10 minute walk away, I love it. The bar is awesome, the staff are super friendly and informative and the place is clean! They also have the best duvets and pillow in the dorms. What a pleasure!

Fantastic place located a short walk from shopping and site seeing. The staff can't do enough to help you and a cold beer at the bar is the best way to meet and find new freind and information on traveling the world. I recomend this place.

It's not too crowded. The staff are brilliant. The location is good, just a taxi ride away from the city centre, the beach, within walking distact from the Waterfront (bars & shops) and on a Sunday you are minutes away from the local market. I would definately stay there again.close

This is a great hostel. Was only planning on staying for a few days and ended up here for 3 weeks. It's in a fabulous location with a brilliant atmosphere. The staff are wonderful, in particular Angi, Cara and Greg the barman (gareth rocks as well!) Thank you so much for a great stay!

15 minutes from Cape Town's Waterfront and 5 minutes from Greenpoint's Sunday market and the Stadium, one of the 2010 World Cup stadiums, Sunflower Stop is the perfect place to stay in Cape Town. The staff are great and what ever age you will find a welcome here.
