It is almost nearby to main train station. Therefore its location is fantastic and easy accessible.
There is no available park. Because of it is located in the middle of red light, there are alot of different kind of people. Most of them is drunkard, weed, fighting.

The staffs are very kind. The location of hostel is very convenient and the price is cheap. Specially, people can borrow the skateboard from the hostel, which is amazing!!
Since the hostel is near the red light district, I could hear some noise at night. But I still can fall asleep.

Mejorable la limpieza . ubicación peligrosa . Tiras 5€ por un candado muy frágil y no están seguras tus pertenencias con ese candado . Al final tienes que devolver ese candado. En general no fue una buena experiencia.

This hostel is quite secure with private lockers to keep your valuables beneath the bed. It's quite close to the Hauptbahnhof (main train station) and everything in the city is quite easy to walk to. It is clean and the staff are multilingual and are very helpful. Towels and padlocks are available for use with a deposit. The ambiance of the surrounding streets is ... rough. The location is in a rough part of town, no lie. The hostel itself is secure and clean and welcoming.

The surrounding area feels a bit unsafe, but it’s just a first impression. I had no problems at all. Everything was fine.

El lobby súper bonito, la habitación espaciosa y agradable, los baños cómodos, creo que a la regadera le hace falta un espacio para dejar tus cosas y más privacidad; cocina y lavandería organizadas y limpias; las áreas comunes de las más bonitas que he visto en un hostal; la ubicación está bien si quieres estar cerca de la estación central de Frankfurt, recomendable ????, me volvería a quedar

The location was not for young girls like us. There are many homeless and hooligans but the receptionists were pretty nice to everyone. They knew well customers who are staying for several nights and regularly speak to them. Bathrooms are one for each floor but it was clean enough. I recommend this hostel for males.

Location is perfect, if you are confident walking across this neighbourhood. Bunk beds could be more sturdy, these are shaking at each move from the person above/below. Everything else as expected from a hostel, including person big locker below beds, card to open each door etc.

Decent stay overall. i was looking for a place close to the main station and this worked out well. A lot of drug use in the area. I never felt physically threatened or unsafe, just not a pretty site. The staff was hit or miss but they all spoke english and were able to answer any questions I had.

I had my fair share of shady places in Europe and around the world. So I was not scared by the bad reviews. But well turns put I had to pass by open drug users to get to the hostel. I did not know that such a place existst in the heart of a big european city. I would not stay there again. And I am a male. I can't imagine how a woman must feel passing by drug users, prositutes and Pimps. I felt super unconfortable.

Very disappointing and a disturbing experience. Surprising to know such a corner exists in Germany. I came across 20-30 dopers in the 500m stretch of Frankfurt main station to the hostel. I took an independent room and it was very nasty. The bed was assembled from scrap materials. There was no heating. There were noises the whole night from the streets. The receptionist made me wait for 15-20 min when I walked in, and then addressed another woman (nicer looking) who had just walked in :P

Honestly I thought because the hostel has so many great reviews, I would be able to put up with the sketchy area. But as a female solo traveller, I felt I couldn’t go out to explore the area when I arrived around 7pm, when it was already dark, because there were lurkers and people shouting outside. When I arrived at the hostel, there was a pretty “out of it” woman standing next to the doorbell, making an awkward interaction. The hostel facilities and atmosphere was good though :)

It was only said after I booked that the hostel was in the red light district. I arrived around 21:00 and it felt super unsafe on the streets to the hostel (even it being a 4 min walk). There were drug using people in front of the hostel door too. Luckily, the staff opened the front door quickly from inside. It’s good that they’re open 24/7 also because of this I think! The hostel room was fine, the bathroom clean though a little bit sketchy. I am happy earplugs were provided:).

Some things I saw in the red light district where this hostel is: - groups of men cat calling a woman - a guy asking all passers by if they had 'a line' - a guy, clearly blazed, push another man in the street - a guy with a crack pipe at 10am. The hostel itself is good - the staff are mostly just hanging out with each other which creates a chill space, there is cheap drinks, some free food, and fresh flowers. Just, getting in and out was very anxiety enducing for us.

Positiv: Nettes Personal, Zimmer schön mit guter Größe, Kaffee umsonst, gutes WLAN, sehr nah am Bahnhof, gemütliche Lobby. Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis Negativ: Zimmer war nicht ganz sauber (gebrauchte Ohropax auf dem Boden), ich hatte die Tage danach den ganzen Körper voll mit Stichen (Bettwanzen nehme ich an). Und die Lage ist zwar super zentral (toll für Gruppen), als alleinreisende Frau habe ich mich auf der Straße in diesem Teil der Stadt nicht sicher gefühlt.

Overall, hostel was okay. LOCATION IS NOT GOOD, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT. Obviously not the hostel's fault, but this was a massive downside to my stay - I felt unsafe going to and from the hostel. As their garden closes at 10, smokers (like me) must stand out in the street. I feel this needs rectified. Staff were excellent, but planned event in hostel got cancelled on Saturday night without notice. Could do with having more mixer activities.

Typisches Hostel mit Gemeinschaftszimmern, also gut zum Kennen lernen von Leuten aus vielen anderen Ländern. Habe Frühstück genommen, es gibt auch veganes. Draußen tobt das Bahnhofsviertel - gut für das Realitätserleben aus dem Glashaus heraus.

I didn’t enjoy my stay to much. The stuff was unfriendly and upon arriving they made me wait half an hour before check in, because of a shift change. My room had a beautiful view, although the door didn’t come with a lock and the shower was dirty and the kitchen came without any knives. The location is close to the train station but it’s not a safe area which they only state on the website but not in hostelworld, so I didn’t knew before I went

Great location close to the main station, be sure to take advantage of the happy hour 241 between 6-8 every day. Everything you could need here is available if required (headphones tablet etc with a deposit). It is located in the centre of the red light district but that's not a problem with a secure entrance and a regular police presence.

I stayed there for 3 days and had a very positive experience. The staff was attentive and providaded a sense of security, even though the neighbourhood seems dangerous (Red light district). However, the hostel is very central, with an amazing access to main attractions and to the transport in the city. The hostel is also very clean. Overall, had a great experience at the hostel, would recommend to anyone staying in Frankfurt!

The hostel itself is ok, although as others have mentioned, the area that its in is quite dodgy, I did not feel safe whenever I left the hostel, a lot of drunks who will often shout at you and open drug use. Location is great, a five minute walk from the train station. You will absolutely need earplugs if you want to sleep, loud music can be heard all night and into the morning. Beds are moderately comfortable, there is a smell of smoke throughout the hostel, breakfast is ok but a bit pricey.

The inside of the hostel itself is nice. Everything was clean. However do not be deceived they say it is in a safe area but this definitely is not true. At least at the time of my stay the surrounding area was full of homeless yelling at you along the streets and a lot of police activity. Definitely carry as little valuables around with you as possible. I had an experience during my one night stay that made me not leave the hostel at all after it. Just want others to be informed.

Overall great hostel, my style. Rooms are ok, but social area is great. Staff are friendly and personable. It’s a great place to meet people. Keep in mind the neighborhood is a bit shady but it didn’t seem to be dangerous just a lot of vagrants and sleezy clubs

The hostel is right next to the FRA Hauptbahnhof. There are advantages and disadvantages to that. It’s easy to go around. It’s not the best location for a stay. If you want to get decent sleep and not hear drug addicts shouting in the middle of the night and non stop music playing then this is not the place for you. Apparently Frankfurts Hbf is the busiest and the dirtiest in Germany. The stairwell smells like 100s of cigarette butts. The shower could use more frequent cleaning too.

The yellow-haired woman working at the reception was arrogant and not good at dealing with guests
