Sunflower Hostel

Stayed here this past summer and I will be back next summer! Many of the “issues” people mention in bad reviews can be easily solved by talking to the friendly staff. I felt like this was a very authentic backpacking hostel experience. I loved it. Great vibes and location.

The showers are so warm, the beds are comfy and everything is clean. The atmosphere is really nice (great music in the common room) and the staff is great. The location is good too, many bars / restaurants at 2 mn, public transports same. By far the best hostel experience I've ever had and the price is so cheap for a capital. I'd go as far as to say that if Rivendell existed, it would be the Sunflower Hostel ???? will definitely go back

Rooms were spacious. Beds were uncomfortable -- mattress are old and worn out, long overdue for replacement. Quick cleaning is done daily, or at least when someone checks out. Service was generally friendly and professional. We stayed for over a week and was granted kitchen access, otherwise, it's not available to everyone. Laundry available for a small fee. 3 showers in our section shared with other rooms - but we never had to wait long. Good location - 8-10min walk to transportation hubs. It seems that most who stay here are young adults who like to party and some are quite inconsiderate (talking loudly, banging doors even at late hours past midnight). I was not able to sleep undisturbed for 9 nights. At one point, a very drunk girl peed on the floor next to her bed, and next to our luggage. I informed reception and the room seemed to have been cleaned by the time we got back in the afternoon.

Rooms are very big with lots of windows. Super nice people behind the desk, very kind when you need things. Location is superb, walking distance to many clubs and otherwise next to a metro stop that can take you anywhere.
