As two girls, traveling alone, we felt super safe and welcome in the hostel! It’s a really nice place to meet people at the bar and also to stay for a few nights. Sure, the area is a bit shady, but for us it was totally ok :)

le stanze sono ampie e comode, alcune con angolo cottura. Ostello accogliente e in posizione molto centrale, si arriva a piedi dalla stazione. Unica problematica è che si trova in una zona poco raccomandabile, meglio evitare di arrivarci la sera tardi.

Muy buen hostal lo único es que queda en el barrio rojo que está un poco raro pero caminas dos cuadras y estás en el centro y es bonito. Además que queda Justo a ido de la estación central para moverte. No hay aire en los cuartos entonces hizo mucho calor

The location is in the middle of red light district, there were many weird people around the district, no matter in the morning or at night. As a female solo traveler, I felt unsafe, even though it was only a 5 minute walk from Frankfurt Main Train Station. And the noise of the area at midnight was unbearable, there were people shouting and throwing bottles outside, while it was also stuffy in the room, so I had choice but leave the windows open. Besides, in summer, there was only one fan for a whole room. They provide free dinner at 8 pm, and free coffee and tea all day.

WARNING. The reviews do not explain the unsafe nature of the location well enough. As a woman, I was terrified of walking from the train station to the hostel in broad daylight, and I had someone with me. If I was traveling alone, I would have turned around and left on the spot. The hostel itself is fine, bare and basic, but that's what you've paid for. The walls are concrete, but unfortunately the sounds of the streets below come in easily via the window. There was also construction work happening which was a nice 6am alarm. We stayed in a private room, and I know many people have commented on the bed bug issues, we left unscathed, though I swear I'd seen some in the morning. We ended up cutting our stay in Frankfurt short and left after 12 hours. I wanted to be able to explore and walk around, not be terrified and confined to my room. (I did find it interesting that when we told reception we were checking out early, they didn't ask if there were any issues/feedback. Guess when they've already got your money, it doesn't matter?)

I don't usually leave reviews but this hostel deserves the praise. The surrounding area can be a bit dodgy at night, but the atmosphere in the hostel makes you want to stay in! it's super friendly and very social, with drinks at very good prices and super staff :). I would highly highly recommend

Stayed here for a night with a long layover. Great location right outside the central station. Located in the red light district so if that’s not for you maybe not the best place to stay but they do let you know ahead of time and I didn’t have any problems. All facilities were comfortable and it’s right in the city so you can walk most places.

Decent hostel, but outside the hostel is like a zombie apocalypse. Convenient if you need to get an early train but otherwise wouldn’t stay anywhere near the central station.

Just in general Frankfurt is not a nice place it’s dirty and the hostel is in one of the worst places I have ever been in Europe that is no understatement. Honestly go to another place in Germany. Hostel itself is decent

The area by itself is maybe not the easiest if you are sensitive as it is the red district. But the hostel gives easy access to shops, transportation, train station, restaurants and walk along the river. The hostel is great value for money, friendly staff. Comfortable bed and clean rooms.
The people in the area wasn't easy to stand daily, I felt sad for them. Its unfortunately nothing we can do, the district is special. It has nothing to do with the hostel itself which is a great value for money with friendly staff.

The area around the hostel (Frankfurt Central Station) is quite unsafe and violent. There were many drug addicts around the hostel, and I saw a homeless woman being assaulted two blocks away. I didn't see any police nearby. The hostel has three doors that need to be open by staff when you ring a bell, so inside the hostel is safe, but the area around is not. I wanted to buy a beer, staff lied to my face to charge an illegal credit card fee, and then refused to call the manager when I asked.

Overall decent. Good atmosphere. They need to address the bedbug issue some people have written reviews about. The hostel is right next to the train station, but also what is known to be one of the roughest parts of Germany. Don't let it deter you though. One staff member was very rude.

I really like the hostel, the sport bar very comfortable, Staff are very friendly and predisposed, you have elevator if you don't want use stairs. The bathrooms are very clear and close to the room, thanks :)
I don't like the location, it's in a good point, close to the center and river, also close to central station but in these block it is like a red zone where are a lot people high and drunk, also very messy the street.

Vriendelijk personeel. Van binnen gezellig en leuk ingericht! ‘s Avonds happy hour en gratis avondeten. Heerst een erg gezellige sfeer. Dichtbij het station.
Onveilige buurt: hostel staat in het red-light district en er lopen veel dakloze mensen over straat. Het mag iets schoner.

Me encantó este Hostel. Limpio y con habitaciones muy comodas . El desayuno se paga aparte y esta buenisimo. Muy bien ubicado. Y si bien hay mucho loco alrrededor de la residencia , es seguro ya que estan en su rollo . Solo faltaria un ventilador mas potente cuando el dormitorio esta lleno en temporada de calor . Los chicos de recepción super amables .

Lage war wie versprochen zentral. Zum Glück hat die Klimaanlage im Zimmer funktioniert. Das Personal ist freundlich und sehr bemüht.
Bei Ankunft war es extrem stickig im Zimmer. Lüften konnte man allerdings nicht, sobald man die Fenster öffnete kroch ein unfassbar starker Uringeruch in das Zimmer. Die Klimaanlage sah aus als wäre sie mindestens dreißig Jahre alt, tat aber zum Glück ihren Dienst. Das Bett war extrem niedrig- finde das sollte man erwähnen. An den Wänden befanden sich äußerst hässliche Bilder. Das Bad wies feuchte Stellen am Boden auf. Entweder ist dort etwas undicht oder es trocknet nicht ab. Unser Bad befand sich auf dem Zimmer- das hatten wir so extra gebucht. Bei der Lautstärke die vom Flur und auch von draußen herein drang konnte man kaum schlafen. Zum Frühstück sind wir nicht geblieben, wir wollten nur nich heim.

we had a twin room on the seventh floor and there was a nice and clean common kitchen. Bathrooms were very clean. We had some very warm days in Frankfurt but we could keep our rooms cool with the ventilation device in the room.
the hostel is in the red light district. the hostel feels very safe but guests should keep in mind before booking that the area can be very intimidating.
