Run by two ex-backpackers, the Sunflower welcomes travellers with its laundry and cooking facilities, retro Austin Powers–style wallpaper, in-house bar and organised pub crawls. It's in a leafy residential district halfway between the train station and the beach. Exuding an even livelier party vibe, Sunflower's beachside branch (high season only) has its own stage, with live music in summer.
