This place is rubbish. No air conditioning at all and ants roaming around the room. The Internet only worked at the lobby. I asked for a refund which I did not get as they claimed that the internet worked all the time (yes, at the lobby) and they suggested various solutions to cool the room. Apparently we declined from all the solutions which were: open the window. We opened the window with little help. At their website they are advertising AC and an open window is not considered. Rubbish place with lying manager. Avoid at all costs, you get a better hotel with the same amount of money.
The hostel offered me a voucher for 300 euros. I declined as to why in the world would I want to repeat this horrid experience? If I want to sleep in a steamy room with ants, I would rather choose an ants nest as it comes for free at least.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really enjoyed my stay at the Sunflower Backpacker Hostel in Rimini.
The environment is welcoming, well-organized, and designed to make guests feel at ease. The facility has pleasant and functional common areas, including the reception, a recreation room, a dining area, and a kitchen equipped with everything necessary.
The rooms are clean and well-maintained. In my case, I stayed in a four-person room reserved for girls, with an en-suite bathroom, and I had a very good experience.
Another strong point is definitely the location, which is truly excellent and convenient for reaching the main attractions in the area.
Overall, a very positive experience: a welcoming, practical, and well-managed hostel that I would gladly recommend.

30-Second Review –
Outstanding Location for Railway Station, Beach, Rimini Old Town, Riverside…and a local supermarket!
Great Staff – Very helpful, English spoken
Rooms – Clean and modern. No AC currently at Sunflower City, but ceilings are high and there are fans.
Value for money – Very good
General Vibe – Modern and progressive with a generous Romagnolo heart.
Full Review – Sunflower City Hostel, Rimini town
Sunflower City’s position could not be better. It’s a 10-12 minute stroll from the railway station through some leafy streets. Rimini’s attractive historic centre is 12-15 minutes’ walk away, the beach takes 10 minutes max. There is a well-stocked supermarket around the corner for guests making use of Sunflower City’s well-equipped kitchen.
Sitting at the north end of Rimini’s oh-so-long beach, you have the choice between the sunbed/umbrella combos offered by the bagni (beach clubs) or going your own way on the spiaggia libera (public beach). Sunflower City has a discount arrangement with Bagno 9 ‘Mauro’, which we made use of.
The hostel staff are cheerful, helpful and professional. I can say for certain that the team work comfortably in English as well as Italian. Claudia and Christopher - Thanks for all your help.
The rooms – We had a double room with its own ensuite bathroom. Being a hostel, the emphasis is on value and function so the rooms are simple and clean. Sunflower City currently does not feature air conditioning, so the high ceilings and fan are welcome. And you can always sit in the leafy garden or cool bar area.
Being a backpacker place, folks spend more time out of their rooms than in them – both Sunflower City and its big sister along the coast Sunflower Beach provide garden and bar areas for socialising. The Sunflower website makes it clear that having a good time is encouraged – you can even book some extra hours to delay checkout should you need time to get you head together. There are a few house rules to ensure that the good times do not come at the expense of other guests – I think we can all agree on that. This may be one of the reasons that both Sunflowers are popular with female travellers. I’d also suggest that the Sunflowers would be a good choice for teens making their first backpacking journey.
The people of Romagna have a reputation for cheery generosity, and the Sunflower hostels are a great example of this. Yet the Sunflower operation is also determinedly international in outlook…so it’s Italian-yet-global; relaxed-yet-dependable; fun-yet-safe; high standards-yet-good value.
Highly recommended.
