Breakfast good, pool and outside bar area nice, staff were so busy good service is forgotten about. Superior room was big, clean and nice. It's full of early 20s oi oi backpackers on the lash types, feels like Magaluf or Malaga, so avoid if that's not your scene, felt for a couple of oldies who got stuck in the middle.. Also they have a dodgy association with Why Not bar, heard about people getting robbed and going missing from outside there courtesy of local xe ôm drivers during our stay.

Staff were mostly good - just one or two weren't friendly. THE BEST breakfast ever. Location midway between city and beach makes it handy for both.

No real complains but not enthusiastic either. Cleanliness could have been better, the breakfast buffet, however, topped what I had in all other hostels. Old town is in walking distance (15 minutes) and if you take a bike you can be at the seaside within 20 minutes. Shower had not too much pressure but was ok, room had a/c and no problems with insects.

Great hotel. The staff were really friendly. Everything was great. I only have one reccomendation for breakfast to have additional staff serving eggs and pancakes as the que can be very long(15min) at peak times.

Firstly, staff is very rude and unhelpful! Every time you have to ask them something, you feel like you are disturbing them and have to feel guilty about that. Secondly, even though they have a bus which takes you to the city center, staff didn't bother to tell us that (we know that from the reviews only). Thirdly, we contacted a hotel and asked them to pick us up (they provide a free pick up if you arrive by an open bus). But they didn't pick us up! Pool is great, location not that good!

The hotel was very noisy, very busy with the younger party crowd. Problems started when we booked a 3 day 2 night cruise to Ha Long Bay though Sunflower Hotel. We booked the cruise on Imperial Cruises and picked the itinerary we wanted. We never got the cruise company or the itinerary we wanted. We got shuttled around the bay to kill time. Told us what we wanted to hear to make a dollar! Sunflower has refused to even return any emails. They have been very unprofessional. Complete Scam!

This place was alright, but considering the price, it should've been better, also they charged a whopping 40 dollars in commission for a bustrip, which, in my opinion is quite extortionate

Really enjoyed my stay here. Not too far from the beach ( I hired a motorbike )from the guy outside the front of the hotel). Lots of choice at breakfst, although I had a bad belly after the first breakfast so I was a little restrained and just had coffee and toast on the second morning ;)

Really nice hostel. It can be a bit of a party place, but if that is a problem you can usually switch rooms to a quieter room. There is a nice pool as well as an amazing buffet breakfast. Rooms were clean but they definitely don't wash the duvets between guests, if they ever wash them. It is close to the old quarter and clothing shops and a short cycle from the beach. You can rent bikes right out front.

A great place to stay in hoi an. The breakfast is the best I've had in the country. Slightly farther from downtown but still a great place to stay. Lots of backpackers. Good party vibe.

Loved this place! You get so much for such small money! Great pool, wonderful breakfast buffet, good staff, big and clean rooms with good facilities. Only problem: I couldn't have a decent sleep, because many people were partying loudly at the pool bar every night until 3-4am. But besides this everything was top.

This hostel is definately on the route from Nah Trang, but for good reason. Free Breakfast buffet, pool, billiards, and a bar, plus easy transport booking, bike/moto rental, and pretty good location make it a solid spot to stay. The place gets a bit busy with late nighters, and is a little bit out of Hoi An, but overall a great value and a fun spot.

Breakfast buffet was great just get there early as other hostels have heard about it and the staff doesn't check to see if your actually staying there so it gets busy around 9-10. Location is a little outside the city center but they have a free shuttle every half hour and if you rent a bicycle it's not bad. Also the beach is fairly accessible as well. Clean rooms nice shower with hot water although a little expensive for a hostel ($9/night).

Great value for money, and really backpacker atmosphere, specially for lonely travelers. Great facilities and the swimming pool is totally worth it. They dont have party or much fun at night but you can get to it 15 min walking from there. The staff is a bit freaky and their english is poor, but somehow they are so fun and in stead of hating them, you just laugh with them.
