Would stay again
I loved staying at the Sunflower Stop. It was a clean, nice hostel. My only complaint was that the room I was staying in was pretty noisy so it was sometimes hard to fall asleep at night and the door was really difficult to unlock. I would stay here again though!

Great location, very clean, but a bit noisy
I found the hostel very pleasant and clean. The self catering kitchen was spacious, modern and it had all the utensils you need for cooking. Most of the time the wifi works well and the staff is friendly. At night time it got a bit noisy tho. You could hear the music from the bar all the way to the dorm and often the cigarette smoke would drift inside which I found a bit unpleasant. Overall a very nice hostel tho with good value for money.

Comfortable and clean hostel.
Stayed in the dorm. Pros: good common areas, friendly and helpful staff, nicely stocked kitchen, comfortable bunk beds, nice showers with plenty of stalls, nice and clean hostel. Cons: really loud floors: You can hear people stomping around all night, terribly slow wifi. Hostel is conveniently located near a bus stop, however not too much within walking distance.

Spring break
it was great! Although my fitted sheet had a small stain, and there was an issue with my card- the stay was great. Comfy beds, clean community bathrooms, and accommodating staff.

For the price it was a good deal. Basic hostel with all that that usually entails. Location was excellent though, in a safe area and in walking distance of everything. Receptionist came off a but brusque and sarcastic at times but was probably just a misguided attempt at humour.

An boring hostel with some friendly staff
Hostel right next to the stadium, staff is really friendly, but the facilities are a minimum, and the security is a laugh.

Un hostel cerca de todo
El hostel es muy lindo, cuidado y limpio. Cuenta con una cocina amplia y con todas las comodidades. El personal siemore esta oara ayudarte. El jardin me parecio un lugar ideal para relajarse junto a la pileta, y cuenta con un bar aue los sabados hacen barbacoa. Las habitaciones impecables, los baños limpios y amplios. Es un hostel que se nota que le ponen onda y se siente esa buena energia del personal.

Not as expected
This hostel is located very good BUT at the moment, and probably for a longer time of period ahead it is right next door to a big, very noisy construction site... The tiny pool is freezing cold and the breakfast lacks a lot, so unfortunately this isn't a place a would re-visit for the rates their asking. It's ok clean though and the staff is friendly.

Excelente localidade! Atendimento cordial!
Minha experiência é totalmente voltada a hotéis de 3 a 5 estrelas. Foi minha primeira (e última!) hospedagem com minha família em hostel. Os parâmetros de comparação entre tudo o que os hotéis (3 a 5 estrelas) podem oferecer e um hostel são completamente diferentes e prefiro não apontar os pontos negativos desse hostel aqui por achar que sairá muito mal avaliado e em extrema desvantagem. Porém, chamo a atenção para a cordialidade dos donos, pela gentileza de fazer check-in fora do horário limite e por atender nossos pedidos. Além disso, a localidade é excelente, perto de todos os pontos turísticos.
