Sunflower International Youth Hostel Reviews

I enjoyed my stay at the Sunflower. The staff were very friendly and as helpful as they could be. Unfortunately, the chap in the bar does not speak English and I think this has a detrimental effect on the atmosphere as young foreigners are not going to use a bar or restaurant when it is so difficult to make an order.

Good location, near a subway line, Confucius temple, and one of the castles. Multiple bathrooms for the dorms. Good value for the money.

The hotel location is very good. It is well served by the subway and city buses just a short walk away from the hotel. However, the hostel, according to the friendly owner, has been acquired by the government and will be moved to another location about ten minutes' from the present location.

The toilet is quite old. I would appreciate it if they'd like to improve the toilet. Otherwise, u may consider to stay here as their location is excellent !!!

The location is good, close to main places we needed to go. Staff was also friendly and the owner was helpful to solve our AC problem. The only thing is this: if you choose dorm rooms, I don't really like the toilet/shower/washroom area because for some reason, often I found "things" that haven't been flushed by people. But if you order the family room, it's not that bad because you have your own toilet/shower room. It's a good deal for the money you pay.The dorm room wasn't bad, only the WC.

Great atmosphere and the location is excellent. The staff helps you with all questions and the room was quite nice bit small but very cozy. When I will come back to Shanghai I will book this Hostel again!!

Good location and all in all it's not a bad option I guess, but I haven't had the time of my life : my room was quite ill-equipped (three lockers for four people, only two sockets in the wall, no bed-lamps...) ; the common room closes before midnight ; as for the staff I can't really say if they're nice or not since basically I haven't really seen them in three days, only at the reception for checking in and out.

Need to provide towel

Stayed there for 2 nights in a double room, nothing bad to say! nice place to stay, totally valuable for money :) wifi just in the common room at 4th floor but it's a really nice area, coffee and breakfast, dvds and books :) I recommend this hostel :)

We stayed in a double room while at Sunflower Youth Hostel and we found that the room was clean and we really liked being given a lock and key for the room lockers. The hostel is in a great location just seconds away from Confucius temple in the Fuzimiao area. The one problem I had with the hostel is that the bathroom facilities are insufficient for the number of guests. There were only two sinks for the whole hostel and as a result I found that whenever I needed to use them they were busy.

It's ok for a couple of nights, but wouldn't stay longer. Especially 'cause they make you pay for toiletpaper...

A small cozy hostel which is conveniently located in the Fuzimiao area. The staff were also very kind and helpful. They also gave us useful advices about what to do in Nanjing. They also provide a very original, clear and easy-to-read (subway) map of Nanjing. The rooms were cozy and safe. However, the beds were plain wooden planks with thin mattresses on it, which makes it quite uncomfortable to sleep. The bar is very nice, but a bit expensive.

Staff were friendly and were able to give good information on the city. The bar upstairs is a nice touch but don't bother with their Western food as it's overpriced and pretty disappointing.
