Immer schön anzukommen. Der Empfang ist so freundlich. Alles ist sauber und gut organisiert. Sicherheit fühlt sich gut an und das ist bei der genialen lage am bahnhof wichtig. Badezimmer sehr sauber. Mitbewohner rücksichtsvoll. Die Zimmer habe ich immer als leise erlebt. Nettes, freundliches frühstück
Da es draußen laut ist, wäre eine klimatisierung der schlafräume schön.

Immediate neighborhood is sketchy (red-light district) but quite close to train station. One block away is a busy street with good food and drink options. Hostel itself is quite secure and has a nice breakfast option and happy hour, plus free coffee and tea (prepared and ready) for most of the morning/afternoon. Sleeping quarters adequate but beds, lockers, etc older than in most other places. No privacy curtains. Lockers were large rolling bins under beds, only accessible when fully out.

I chose the hostel on purpose mainly because of the location 4 min. from the train station and 15 min. from city center, so the location is great. Large spacious room with basic amenities and to my surprise up to 3x wc and bathroom upstairs where there were only 5 rooms in total. Spacious, clean and equipped bathrooms where there was no shortage of paper, soap, gel and even a hairdryer. Nice equipped reception area with clean water, phone chargers, seating and the cheapest draft beer around. For the purpose of a comfortable overnight stay with an emphasis on budget, a great place.
Arriving at the place we were scared of the antisocials on the street, a lot of trash and an overall unpleasant feeling of an environment full of drugs and homeless people. As we got to know the city further, it wasn't that special, so my rating is just a reflection of how I felt. In terms of accommodation I would only have one actually minor comment and that is that although there is a TV in the room, the signal won't allow you to watch anything, at least at the time of my visit, it looked like a malfunctioning decoder from 30 years ago.

Awful location as a female solo traveler I felt so unsafe walking to the hostel in broad daylight. It’s in the red light , crack head, and most dirty part of the city . I felt so unsafe that I did not even leave the hostel at night . The rooms were ok nothing great . Sheets had questionable stains . All in all did not feel comfortable stayed only one night .

Overall it was pretty nice, the area around felt sketchy as it was the red light district but a block away is a very busy safer area. staff was very friendly.

Stayed here a couple of times now...the area outside the hostel is epically bad, like just undescribable...However onceonce youre in the hostel its perfectly safe, and is a well-run place with fairly good vibes, fairly confortable beds and pretty good facilities. Best perk is how close it is to the train station. I have definitely felt safer elsewhere as a solo female traveller.

Some people I met were nice. Location is pro as a con, but mostly a con. Especially for this money
Full of drug users on the Street, scared to walk from it. Hidden values when you come, turned out to spend 14 more euros for essentials. A bit of scam with money

I liked the location and the hospitality. And of course, free tea and coffee. The staff is very nice and helpful. The rooms and toilets are clean. The hostel lobby is fun, usually full of friendly people from different countries.
I don't like the additional charging of 3€ for the bed sheets.

It was central, it was seemingly clean and very good value for money, the staff was very efficient and friendly
The bathroom could have been cleaner.

alles war gut. Das Zimmer war sauber und gepflegt. Hatte alles, was man an Annehmlichkeiten brauchte. Praktisch ist auch, dass es ein Buffet gibt, an dem fast alles verkauft wird, was man braucht, und nur Tee oder Kaffee serviert wird
Das Einzige, was mir nicht gefiel, war, dass die Gegend nicht wohlhabend und sehr gefährlich war.

this is not in a good/safe area of frankfurt- I was glad I wasn't traveling alone. otherwise ,great experience! we stayed on the top floor which had a kitchen and 3 bathrooms available, all of which were clean. key card access for all areas made it feel safe. but the best part was the staff- I had a very stressful moment of leaving my wallet in the room and discovered this at the airport, but when I called the hostel, they had found it and held it for me. super friendly people, would recommend!

Good overall. Nothing struck me as particularly unpleasant except the below
Whenever I pulled out the locker-basket belonging to the bed the right of the entrance in the 4-person room, the locker blocked the entrance, and so I had to push it back in and pull it back out for people to pass through while I was grabbing my stuff at the same time -I was not even going to mention the district itself (bahnhofsviertel or Frankfurt’s red light district) since it is so humorous and something that makes this hostel so special, but the review would be incomplete. Just don’t be out there wandering alone at night, particularly if you are a solo female traveler. -Staff could have been nicer? (Maybe I was in a bad mood myself ????)

Do not rent a number here. It's a bad area. There is a shared toilet. Shared bathroom. The numbers are scary. Unbearable smell. You couldn't stand it for 5 minutes when we entered.

Staff members and activities provided by the hostel was great.
It's surrounding area & noise at night. Weak wifi connections in rooms but good connection at the lounge.

Worst hostel experience I've had so far. The area felt incredibly unsafe, at any time of the day. I felt stuck inside the hostel to avoid the violence and dodgy characters around it, and the inside wasn't a 'golden prison' either. The sheets smelt dusty, and the overall vibe was a bit weird.

I was there a few days ago. Prices for a room 23 with taxes in a shared room more or less but then price got higher next day to 65 euros. I could not afford it anymore. U made me get out of Germany. I know it’s summer but the price went from zero to the sky in one day and well that’s not fair . I was the last person leaving the room and it was empty and next day prices were again 65 and I know there were even plenty of beds available… so prices were 20 then 65 and 33 now. Don’t like that. Just set it up and don’t change it every day.

As expected it was well located close to the train station, room well-spaced with a locker.
I knew it but neighborhood was very dodgy but harmless and no kitchen or fridge to store food

O quarto não estava muito limpo. O quarto tinha uma cama de casal e duas camas de solteiro, uma cama normal e a outra era a cama sobressalente. Não eram 2 camas. A cama sobressalente estava com o estrado mal montado então estava bem mole. O chão e o banheiro não estavam muito limpos.

Noisy! It’s in the RED LIGHT DISTRICT and lots of drug users nearby—safe parking is 30 euros a day and blocks away. Choose wisely.
