Great all the way around! Great staff and good free breakfast. They will bend over backward to help which is nice. Free fruit and coffee all day. Clean, with lockers and new towels every day. Cable in the dorm rooms. Comfortable. Couldn't ask for a nicer place. The only reason this place will grade lower is because it is stuck between a hostel and a hotel. So there is no attached bar with a pool table or something like this. Just a lobby with a few chairs. But hanging out in the dorm wasn't bad!

Upon checking in, we were told that our 2 twin rooms were unavailable and requested we take the quad room, on the basis we'd get a "very big discount"and that the next day we'd get our twin rooms. We never got twin rooms and in the end the rude staff wouldn't budge on a measly discount of $1 per person which we later found out to be more expensive than if we'd booked a quad ourselves online. Room smelt unpleasant and towels weren't changed daily. Swimming pool looked great and breakfast was good

This was one of the best hostels I stayed in! Although it's a bit far from the city center, it is really worth staying there! The hostel looks like a hotel: It has a bis entrance and reception area as well as big rooms. Everything is modern, lots of light and plants. The best thing: Their breakfast. You won't believe until you see it! It is absolut amazing. Delicious for every taste. It's buffet. And they have an outdoor swimming pool! Great! The room was modern and clean. Great stay!

We were off to a bit rocky start as the early morning transfer we had booked with the hotel never showed and we had to find our own way to Hoi An from Danang train station at 4am in the morning. Check in was at noon and when they showed us to our room, somebody else's stuff was still there and the room hadn't been cleaned. When the cleaner came she wasn't planning on changing the sheets which was a bit of a shocker. However, that aside, overall good value for money and great breakfast!

Decent place with great facilities: swimming pool, pool table, bike and motor bike rental, tours and travel services etc. The buffet breakfast is fantastic and nearly worth the price alone. Location is good, halfway between the beach and the old town. If you can put up with the overworked and sometimes bad-tempered staff you will have a great stay.

Awesome breakfast with options made to order. Good pool and outdoor area. Dorm beds are comfortable. Bikes for $1 and a 10 minute ride to the beach in one direction and the centre in the other.

We had an awesome time. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The pool in the backyard was refreshing and the breakfast buffet was excellent. The location is very convenient, close to the center and close enough to the beach (you can rent bicycles or bikes next to the hotel). A few doors down the road is also an excellent tailor, one of the cheapest too as far as we could find in Hoi An. Recommended for everyone!

Sunflower has one of the best included breakfast buffets I've had in a month. Good atmosphere and location. Nice communal area with a pool table, bar, food, pool, sun tanning chairs, and computers. Easy to rent push bikes or scooters to ride into town or to the beach. There are lots of little shops and spots to get food near by. 6 person dorms and double bed rooms are nice with working aircon, lockers, and ensuit bathrooms. Can do laundry and book buses straight out of hotel if you want. Good!!

The friendliest staff we encountered in Vietnam. A lot of the Vietnamese are extremely rude towards tourists but the staff at sunflower were fantastic. It was also worth paying the extra two dollars or so more than we usually would for the buffet breakfast and the pool!

The reception staff can be a little surly at first but once they know you, they're very helpful and enjoy joking around. Great hostel for meeting other travelers and the buffet breakfast is awesome.

Only had a short stay at this hostel, the free bus pick up was great. It was clean and comfortable and the pool area was nice to chill out in. The breakfast food wasn't so brilliant but its included anyway. There are some nice restaurants nearby too! The staff are friendly but a bit disorganized, they managed to get us on a tour to My Son very easily but then there was some confusion over the bill about who had paid for what and when but overall a good stay and I would recommend it to others.

I didn't really like this place. It was quite far from the centre and the dorm was super-basic for that price. I eventually moved to a cheaper and nicer hotel which was closer to the centre. In the end, it was just an Okay-quality hotel without any atmosphere. The only good things were the free pick-up service from the bus-stop and the breakfast.
