Wouldn’t recommend to stay in this place, as it says, the hostel is located on a red zone so it gets dangerous pretty easily.
The SECURITY IS BAD, they let one man in and somehow went to our bedroom through the amenities part at night and stole me and another roommate €750.
They just said “I’m sorry guys” I mean, come on! They couldn’t care less

I booked a private room. The heating was off and the room was cold at the night, could not able to sleep during the night. When I asked the staff they said it's because of inflation the heating system is set to a minimum even though I paid the full amount.

Einfach Klasse, hier bekommt man die Facetten des Lebens präsentiert, ich liebe dieses Hostel! Die Lage ist für mich als (Hobby) Sozio- und Psychologen eine faszinierende Erfahrung.
Wenn man im Hostel ankommt, wo es sauber und warm und herzlich ist, ist man froh in dieser Bubble angekommen zu sein. Und ich habe ein riesen Vergnügen daran, durch die Fenster das Verhalten der hiesigen Unterart des homo addictus, zu studieren. So eine Art umgekehrter Zoo, oder ein Haifischkäfig... Klasse!!!

Met a very cute boy there.
Coffee was cold EVERY morning.
Closed smoking area at 10 PM so was forced to smoke out font in a very sketchy neighbourhood. I didn't finish one cigarette before getting hit on by 3 or 4 creepy guys.

The staffs at my check are friendly and helpful. The facility is ok
I understand that guest have been warned about the location but I did not realize that it is much worse than I thought. The area is full of drug addicts/criminals. I was actually pickpocketed/robbed of my cellphone outside a store on the same block as the hostel. I ended up having to pay 50 euro to the robbers just to get it back. If you're new to Frankfurt you've been warned. Stay out of this area.

Good value for money, it was clean and the facilities were good. Free tee & coffee available during the whole day and a big lobby with tables & sofas to chill.
The neighborhood is truly not super welcoming but not dangerous. If you want to pay by card, the hostel charges you with 1€ for transactions under 15€.

Staff is really good and supportive.
There is a bad smell in the overall building and rooms . I believe it is because there is no air crossing. Should keep open the windows for some time.

Armários, chuveiros e proximidade da estação de trem.
Cama faz barulho ao mexer, localização do hostel é perto de pontos de drogas e não deixam a cama com os lençóis postos, o que é bem difícil fazer à noite no escuro.

Overall I didn’t mind staying here. I was very aware of its location and willing to accept that risk. I kept to myself and ignored the people on the street and had no issues with them, even walking by myself at night. It’s about it 15 minutes walk to an area with restaurants and shopping. Super close to HBF as well. As far as in the inside of the hostel, the rooms and bathrooms were clean but there’s only 1 shower per gender for the floor, so you have to be flexible on your timing. I thoroughly checked my linens for bedbugs and found none thankfully. But the linens are stained and could definitely be replaced. The highlight of the property is the staff, they’re all so kind and helpful and will give you the best recommendations. Happy hour is great and was always packed during my stay.

Schöner Ausblick aus dem Zimmer im 7. Stock auf die Skyline. Die Gemeinschaftsbäder auf dem Flur waren modern und relativ sauber, dafür dass es Gemeinschaftsbäder sind.

Debo decir que en términos generales el hostel está bien, lástima el lugar en el que se encuentra, por ese motivo no me quedo otra que salir temprano y regresar antes que se haga de noche. Respecto al hostel, algunas zonas necesitan remodelaciones, mejorar limpieza en baños, la cocina era pequeña y no muy limpia, compete lugar con la lavandería, por ende si querías usar las máquinas se dificultaba.

Ich habe mindestens 20min mit der Rezeption über meine Buchung diskutiert, nur weil ich kein Tourist war und es heißt, das nur Touristen in diesem Hotel einchecken dürfen. Dies wurde nirgendwo erwähnt bei meiner Buchung. Die Heizung im Zimmer hat nicht funktioniert. Das Waschbecken war voll mit schwarzen Haaren (ich bin blond), die dementsprechend nicht von mir waren. Die Betten waren wirklich billig. Hat ausgesehen wie ein Lattenrost mit Beinen. Die Decke oben war kahl, nur dreckiger Stein. Manche Lichtschalter haben einfach nicht funktioniert. Bin wirklich sehr enttäuscht. Nicht nochmal…

The hostel actually surprised me. It is a good place to stay for a couple of nights. Free coffee and tea too! It was just hard not to feel afraid when it started to get dark as the outside location seemed a bit dodgy, and the people, as well. But the hostel has a really good security facility.

Ok so I read the reviews and prepared for a ruff landing and it really wasn’t that bad. Yeah it’s a crackheads area but they don’t seem to bother anyone and there’s plenty of normal people walking around or hanging out. Just be cool and walk straight. The property is completely safe inside and only guests can get in.
Aside from that it’s a great value stay - comfy beds with charging ports, clean linens, clean facilities, plenty of lounging space and strong wifi. Cool staff. Good deal overall.

In a really weird area, felt completely unsafe. But they warn you about that upfront so can’t really complain, but it was a lot worse than I thought. Quick walk from the train station but you may trip on a few crackheads on the way.
The hostel itself was very safe and clean!

The location it's close to the central station, which is good, but the area surrounding looks very dangerous to go out at night.
There was a bad smell inside the room, but it was probably from the luggage of one of the guests, not the hotel.

The hostel is a little paradise in a very convenient location. The view from the room I had was outstanding.
Agne's coffee was great :)
It would be great to see the pub crawl start again.

Excellent stay in a clean and comfortable hostel in a double room (single occupant) with bathroom ensuite at a very nice quality to price ratio. Staff was helpful and friendly, bags could be stored before check in and after check out. Bed linens and towels nice and fresh. Very close to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, trains, S-bahn, U-bahn etc. Super for getting around town. Quite a few restaurants and eateries around too. Would stay here again.
After booking the hostel sent a message that it's located in the red light district, the red light district is perfectly fine though. Nothing to see, no bother at all. However, the surrounding area between Hauptbahnhof and hostel can be pretty grim with many drunks, druggies and homeless people. Not a problem to me, but not the most hospitable area.
