I thought the hostel was great. Was obviously a hotel who realised there was a gap in the market for hostels in Hoi AN and decided to shove some beds together in a few rooms and call it a hostel, but actually this works great as you have hotel facilities and still share room to meet people. Would definitely recommend!

My stay at Sunflower in Hoi An was so enjoyable that I extended my stay for an additional two nights. Their dorms are clean and comfortable with AC, balconies, lockers and bathrooms. Their staff cleans and resplenishes the bathrooms daily. And the breakfast buffet is UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS! The price of the dorm may be a little above average for Vietnam, but the free breakfast, which features western and Vietnamese options and a ton of tropical fruit makes it worth paying a little bit more.

excellent stay. the pool/patio in back is fantastic even if it closes early. the whole hostel turned out for drinks and a night out (hit the why not!). the free breakfast is a crazy good buffet with pancakes to order. just dont eat there anytime after. good times

Good place to stay, the dorms have a little spring break mood but the rooms are awesome. You can rent a motorbike just in front of the hotel and explore de surroundings of hoi an.

It was a nice change from staying at hostels, although the pool was really cold. The food was good, the staff was really nice and very helpful. The wifi worked really well, and the pool area was great for tanning. They have a free breakfast too which is really good, and there within walking distance of everything.

Has everything you need in a hostel. It's an old hotel so the rooms are a good size, even in the dorms and the bathrooms are proper en suite as you would expect in a hotel. The restaurant serves good food at a cheap price and the breakfast spread is superb. definite value for money. It's far enough from the town to be quiet yet close enough to explore. Good hostel and the staff are lovely !!

I stayed in the dorms this time. I felt treated like a backpacker at first, then they were nicer by the end. Hoi An attracts partiers and I had some nice dorm mates but a few came in 3 or 4 am noisily. Hostel/hotel is 10-15 min walk from heavy tout area/ market/ late night zone, and neighborhood shuts down early and is quiet at night. Nice patio restaurant / swimming pool. Laundry was 1st rate. Good place to meet fellow travelers. Recommend.

We were really happy with our stay at The Sunflower Hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious and the breakfast was awesome! The manager was around and very welcoming. I would highly recommend The Sunflower Hotel for anyone looking for a "homey" vibe at an affordable price.

A nice hostel a little further out from the centre of Hoi An. Saying that, it is only a 10 minute walk to the centre and there is a free shuttle bus from the hostel and you can rent bikes very cheaply. The rooms were nice and clean with en-suite facilities which did mean longer queues for the showers in the morning for a room of six. The staff couldn't have been more lovely and the breakfast was delicious.

No complains. But -excepts for two or three dorms- take note that Its more like a hotel, not a hostel. So the atmosphere ir more familiar than a backpacker can expect.

This place has the best breakfast I've ever had in a hostel. I liked the location despite the fact it's a fair walk to the old town, bikes next door are super cheap and it means your much closer to the beach than you would be if you stayed in the centre. Rooms were spacious, staff not super friendly.

The owner and reception staff were very helpful. In a month's trip to SE Asia, we consider this hotel to be the best value for money.

The staff where very unfriendly, the hotel/hostel is far too far out of town to viably walk (although renting a bike is cheap and fun) the buffet breakfast felt more like feeding pigs at a trough, it tasted ok but was always pretty much out of food by 8:30 (supposed to go on until 10). I wouldn't stay again.

I only stayed one night however it was clean and comfortable and a good way to meet people. There are only 2 hostels in Hoi An, so you should book all your nights ahead of time as this is the better one. I preferred my hotel however in the old centre as the location was great there.

Staff attitude needs to be improved. I arrived with a group of people; individual travelers were not even given any explanation on tours, and when I asked about it, the staff couldn't care less. The location is far from city center, and walking back that distance at night did not make me feel safe.

I had a stroke on 18th January 2013 at the hotel and I never had chance to thank them for there help. They were great. I needed a cleaning lady to help me down the stairs, the receptionist called me a doctor and they made me comfortable while I waited for the ambulance. I'm making a full recovery. Thank you so much for your help x x x

The Sunflower was actually fully booked when we arrived even though we made a reservation. This wasnt a problem however as they accomodated us in their sister hotel down the road which was equally as lovely.
