Booked private room, was clean and shower good
Area was not good lots of drug addicts in the streets and view from my window appeared to look directly into brothel. Screaming and shouting outside until early hours. (hostel did provide ear plugs)
The air conditioning unit was something from the 1950s
Kitchen seemed to be used by staff and a family - was glared at when I wanted to use it.

Loved staying here! It had a wonderful atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. This hostel was located in the red light district of Frankfurt which made it very loud at night.

Note: Hostel not recommended for single (female) travellers. It is located in the red light distract incl. a lot of people with a high preference for drugs. Certainly not safe if alone, especially in the evening/night time.
Hostel itself is good, you get what you pay for. I was in a double bedroom, average clean, towels included, room offers what you need for a short stay. Reception always helpful, friendly atmosphere.
Location needs to be taken into account.

Central location
Quite expensive considering what it is. A very cheap hostel in a horrible area (I was warned via email by the hostel that its located in the red district, but it was way worse than what I ever imagined)

The location is in a red zone. Someone wanted to stole my phone at 2am but he couldn't.

The hostel it self is great. Very clean and has all the necessary facilities. It has a great communal area outside and inside where you can meet other travelers.
The downside however is that the hostel lays at the worst neighborhood of the city. It very unsafe to walk here by yourself at night.

Hostel limpo, tem banheiro no quarto, a cama fazia barulho e achei ruim chegar tarde no hostel e não ter a cama arrumada com os lençóis de cama, e não tinha condições de fazer isso de madrugada. Não recomendo o hostel principalmente pela região, muitos usuários de drogas, pontos de prostituição, pessoas em situação de rua. Não me senti segura e ficava com medo. Aos brasileiros que lerem, vocês vão cair na Cracolandia!!!!

The location of this hostel made me feel very unsafe. The lowest bar of the bed latter was about 4 feet up, making the entire bunk almost tip over when I climbed up and fell when coming down. The room smelled very bad. When I used the bathroom, someone kept trying to come in despite me announcing it was occupied (though I know this is not the fault of the hostel). However, I do think the dangerous location of this hostel needs to be made more obvious, as the rating this hostel has listed would make the regular traveler think it is no problem at all.

le personnel est sympa, grande salle au niveau de la rue lumineuse, salle de bagage gratuite, repas du soir offert.
Endroit accueillant dedans..nombreuses tables et bancs, guitare, des livres, et jeux a dispositions. ascenseur pour rejoindre les étages.
Grand coffre sous le lit pour mettre ses affaires.
Hotel situé près de la gare des trains, et des cars.. mais environnement dégueulasse au milieu des sans abris drogués et des boites a steap tease.. c'est vraiment dommage..
l'environnement de l’hôtel.. tout de suite en sortant, des boites a strip-teases et prostitutions, très nombreux sans abris, et nombreux drogués au crack y compris devant l’hôtel. Rue jonchée de déchets et bris de verre. En journée, ce n'est pas rassurant, mais a la tombée de la nuit, n'ai pas envie d’être dehors. Lieu très bruyant coté cour, bars turc avec musique jusqu'à très tôt le matin, et coté rue, chambre étouffante car soleil tape toute la journée. Obligé de changer de chambre 2ieme nuit suite un mec parlant espagnol, agressif et puant l'urine et autre ..dans la chambre et qui couchait par terre. A 2 h du matin, suis allé voir la réception.. j'ai du le lendemain matin changer de chambre alors qu'il était responsable des nuisances. Un employé m'a dit qu'il avait pissé sur le matelas.. Le soir, je l'ai croisé .. il avait eu un coup au visage, et une grosse coupure sur le crane avec du sang.. Bagarre..??
J'ai pas pu dormir ma 2 ieme nuit entre bruit et odeur, et la 3ieme, encore pire, cote rue, les voitures, les cris des drogués, et surtout la chaleur..
La cuisine en sous sol est totalement inadaptée, et minuscule. Évacuation des odeurs et fumées ridicules.. cela devient vite un sauna enfumé..en plus, il y a la machine a lavée dedans Très peu de place et d’ustensile pour cuisine, et pratiquement toujours a nettoyer.., seulement 2 personnes a la fois. Mais si on est la a 20h, repas gratuit régulièrement pour les résidents dans la salle commune du ré de chausée
Avant 8h du matin, la cuisine est un champs de bataille dégueulasse, comme a cote du billard.. mais là, c'est viens des résidents qui ne sont pas respectueux du tout..
Dommage que la direction n'ai pas su tenir compte de mes plaintes concernant le "type puant" préférant lui donner raison.. et me faire perdre mon temps et énergie a déménager ..

It is very close to the Main Station which is great but the neighbourhood is a bit sketchy. The roof isnt painted and the hallways look awful but the lobby is pretty good, the free dinner as well.

Ich glaube das Hotel kann nichts dafür aber... das, was draußen direkt vor dem Hostel abgeht verdirbt gute Stimmung. Nachts von der Straße kommen üble Straßengeräusche, menschliche Schreie, Schlägereien. Abends wird man direkt vor den Fremden nahe genötigt, ihren Sexladen zu besuchen. Damen aus dem Rotlichtmileu quatschen dich enthemmt von der Seite an. Auch am morgen darf man seltsame Kreaturen vor dem Hostel "bewundern". Das Hostel kann wirklich nichts dafür. Ich bin aber im Ganzen enttäusch.

The location was definitely a downfall, although one of the only hostels in Frankfurt near the centre of the city it was a bit of a dodgy area. The hostel itself did have very good security however and the staff were lovely and the vibe inside was very good with a decent bar.
Overall I’d recommend the hostel as the only downside was the area.

Great hostel, would stay here again if I wasn’t a solo female traveller.
1. Location is a bit sketchy in which they say it is but they aren’t kidding. I stayed in the hostel the one night because the atmosphere was great and didn’t need to leave but also didn’t wanna leave cause I was too scared.
2. No AC this was an issue as it was 24 Celsius at night so the room was too hot to sleep in and the windows were open so you heard the street parties all night.

The hostel itself is good although no ac anywhere within. The only reason location has any stars is because having the train station a 5 minute walk is super convenient however the location is disgusting. Thankfully they warn potential guests before reserving rooms in the description that the neighborhood is the red light district and is not very safe. The bar was a good hostel bar and had a good Happy Hour deal and on on most nights during the week they do a first come first serve dinner that’s free. Room

Despite the location in the red light area, it’s a really good hostel. It offers drinks, food and fun (and a exterior area) so you don’t need exactly live the hostel at night for example. If you think about the time that you need to arrive in the train station or in the city centre it’s super well located. In resume, the bad part it’s the people on the streets (so if you never saw or had some contact, this possible will scare a lot-I had saw this kind of things and I get scared to.

This hostel is really comfortable and makes you feel right at home.
My room was very nice and clean, the bed is comfortable and there is air conditioning.
The reception also serves as a bar and there is a shared kitchen in the basement (I didn't use it though). There are also a couch with tv and a lot of dvds, a pool table, books, and board games. There is a station with free tea, coffee and water and a small outdoor sitting area.
At 8 every night they provide a free homemade dinner, which after a long day is the best thing ever.
Everyone here is incredibily nice and I had a great time!
The only real problem is the position: the hostel is right in the middle of the red light district, which is full of drug addicts by day and drunk people at night. It's not pleasant but I was there 4 days as a solo girl and nobody ever bothered me - it was just a bit stressing to walk out at night. The station is less than 5 minutes away though, so it's not that bad.
It can get a bit noisy at night but the hostel provides earplugs and I slept like a baby.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The speak Spanish as well!
It is located in the red district close to the central station. I stayed there a Saturday night…. The area was awful!! Erotic clubs, loud music, crowded and dirty! It was too hot and the hotel has no AACC, just some fans!!!

Very close from the main train station wich is good if you come by train. Not so far from the old city and the river banks (about 15 min on foot).
The common area are really nice to meet people and had few drinks
Just be careful with the neighbourhood wich is the redlight district but that is almost ok

the staff was very friendly, very social atmosphere and easy to meet new people. they have a bar and a pool table
as everyone wrote, the area is really really rough. didn't feel safe at all and 100 % would not recommend for any woman who wanted to go out at night. i wish there would have been music playing downstairs or at least a bit louder at the bar. beds are fine but curtains would be much better. generally a bit worn out but fine
