    We had a great stay at a charming hostel in a convenient location. The single room was clean and comfortable, with friendly and helpful staff. They even assisted us with public transport during a bus strike. it was a pleasant experience and I would recommend it.

    I had a lovely stay although the hockey team of 16 year olds was a bit annoying but nothing to do with the hostel...the value for money was great for a short trip and staff very helpful and lovely.

    Stayed at Sunflower Stop for a week while exploring the city. Perfect location, close to Waterfront, Lion's Head, Table Mountain, and restaurants. Clean rooms and friendly staff. The whole day coffee and breakfast included. Supermarket nearby and a safe area. Bed had great lighting and energy. Thank you, Sunflower Stop, for a wonderful stay!

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    During my recent Christmas vacation, I really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and bar service at the hotel. The location was perfect as it was in close proximity to major attractions. The spacious kitchen was a bonus, allowing me to cook my meals with ease.

    My room had a strong smell of stale cigarettes that was unpleasant to be around. there was a lot of noise from other guests early in the morning, disrupting my sleep.

    This hostel has a perfect location and the friedliest staff. My room was very comfortable and everything was very clean. I can recommend this place to everyone.

    It may seem a bit expensive for a hostel but accommodation in Cape Town is overpriced compared to the rest of South Africa (including Jo'burg).

    Friendliness of the staff at check in and at the bar. I was a lone female traveller and received all the help I needed to get into V and A and up to table mountain. The evening was great as sat chatting in the bar with the great staff and other great guests. Shame I was only there for one night.The place was really clean with nice decor and all standard facilities.

    Located in a bustling area, the backpacker's convenient location provides easy access to supermarkets and restaurants. The staff is friendly and helpful, offering clear instructions for check-in and storage of luggage. Shared bathrooms are tidy, but the hostel does not offer many facilities.

    The bar in the hostel does not offer food, and walking distance to restaurants can be tiring after a long day of sightseeing.

    Feel free to chat with the people from all around the world.

    Official check in time and check out time should be more flexible.

    The location of this place is great as it is close to the center and the beach. Everything I needed was within walking distance, and it was easy to get around using the public transport available just outside. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service, and there were plenty of amenities such as a swimming pool and a fitness center for entertainment and relaxation. The hotel also offered activities such as hiking, cycling and water sports for those who enjoy adventure.

    I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with great service and amenities in a convenient location.

    I needed a place to stay in Cape Town before I flew home the next day and it was perfect. It was very comfortable and centrally located in Greenpoint. It was a backpackers lodge but had all the comforts as well as a swimming pool and cosy bar area. I recommend it highly. The staff were also very accommodationg and friendly. The kitchen was also very modern with all cooking facilities needed.

    My double room was quite small but was adequate as I also had my own bathroom as I requested.

    The location is fine and it is free to park your car. Although not secured.

    When we asked on arrival if they could change the sheeds because there were a lot of hairs on them, They said they would...but didn'T. Now my boyfriend has some kind of rash on his legs.. Our room was far to pricy for what we got. Would not go there again. There are cheaper places with free Wifi,breakfast and helfull staff.
