This hostel was spot on, in a great area near restaurants , bares and a small park, very safe area and much better than ¨la sexta ¨ While I made my initial booking for 3 nights, I ended up staying here for over a month. The hospitality here was excellent and the staff and the owner could not have been more helpful and friendly. I feel this is a great hostel if you want a more authentic colombian experience . i.e to meet some colombians and be close to the salsa bares to party. Will return.

Good hostel. Clean and friendly staff. good facilities. nothing amaizing but decent value. Cali itself is nothing to write home about and not the safest of cities, but keep your wits about you and you will be fine. this is not a bad stoping point.

Hello Thank you for your feedback. We value each of your words. We also want to be better every day, and so I ask you something: you could expand a little more to make us your comments and suggestions? Sunflower lacks punctuation Hostel to achieve 100%. Again thank you very much again, and if you return, Sunflower is your house, and they offer you a free night. Jairo Carvajal

We had a very nice 3-night-stay in this hostel in a double privat room. Ask for the privat roon with two single beds and you'll get a big and very nice room. The privat rooms have a separat area to hang out and watch tv or cook something. The staff is really friendly and helpfull, and you can get a privat city tour as well, just ask. The only negativ point is that the hostel is directly at the street...

A great hostel to experience Columbia and some of the best staff I have encountered in 4 months in South America. Were very helpful and created a great atmosphere in the hostel and were great for improving your Spanish. Rooms were comfortable and the hostel is kept very clean. It is walking distance to many shops, bars and restaurants and is safe to walk around. If you are coming to Columbia you should stay here!

Sunflower is a really relaxed and friendly hostel. The communal space helps the guests socialise and the hostel´s design means you can get away from it all in the upstairs area. The staff are really welcoming and helpful. You´ll definitely enjoy your time here!

Good, basic hostel. Staff were friendly and helpful, but some spoke very limited English.

The hostel was super clean and the staff super friendly. And the beds were surprisingly comfortable :). They also knew a lot of places to go out and usually joined us. I had a great time at the hostel.

This is a very good hostel. Its very laid back, and allows you to relax well ! :) The owner/ managers are very good, and very friendly! (talk about colombian hospitality). I was near the end of my trip and the hostel allowed me to relax very well, as it is suited in a residential neighborhood and quiet. The people that stayed in the hostel during my time were GREAT. We made a birthday party for one of the travelers, and everyone was very friendly. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone.
