Die Sauberkeit war akzeptabel.
Die Tatsache, dass es pro Etage nur eine Dusche gibt, für ein Hostel das 30 € pro Nacht kostet, ist in meinen Augen kein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Sonst gab es nichts Bemerkenswertes, die 8-Bett Zimmer sind absoluter Standard.
Außerdem habe an der Rezeption (Herr mit langen Haaren der kein Deutsch kann) gefragt, wo die Duschen sind und habe daraufhin eine recht schnippische Antwort bekommen. Der Rest vom Personal war in Ordnung.

Generally a good hostel. The bathrooms sometimes smelled of urine but looked clean so it is what it is. The rooms were standard. Breakfast was good and they had a kitchen and basement entertainment area with a pool table and couches with a TV. The location is really close to the main train station but also the red light district. Lots of homeless at night and others who make you feel less than safe. It was bittersweet with the station so close and mischief abound. Great common space to work in.

The location is central so if you arre traveling , it is ideal. I went there early and did not go out so I can't confirm claims that it is not safe.
Wifi works great, and the lobby is nice and has some free drinks.
I booked a girl dorm. I thought the bathroom will be private and shared by the dorm only. But the shower and bathroom were in the mixed hallway. Shared by the whole floor which was not convenient..
The beds were also not comfortable specially if you sleep on the top. With the slightest movement , you feel that you will fell...

Estaba cerca de la estación de trenes excelente para hacer una noche si tienes escala por la mañana.
El barrio, pero para lo que pagué estaba excelente, quizá porque no estoy acostumbrada a ese tipo de vida nocturna. Pero caminé tranquilamente hasta la estación.

Hostel is great, they have free dinners sometimes which is awesome. They have a kitchen, and in general it’s very perfect for a hostel. But yes, the area is a bit unsafe, if you are travelling alone, try and maybe arrive during the day time. Lots of dr*g users on the streets but they are harmless. There is security everywhere just don’t provoke them and you should be fine. It’s about a 20 min walk to the markets/main part of the city. The area downstairs was good, quite easy to socialise. I’d recommend it, just prepare yourself for the location lol

Pros:
Great location and friendly staff, good value.
The bins for luggage were under the bed, and you could borrow a lock if you wanted that extra security.
Towels, key and locks required a deposit that was returned, which was nice.
It was quiet on the floors with beds, and had a nice area on the main floor with couches and tables.
Cons:
The beds didn't have any curtain, so there was no privacy when sleeping.
We were in the red light district, so there were s** hotels on both corners.

The location made me feel so unsafe. When I think of a red light district I think of bars and clubs but this area had so many people on drugs and so much open drug use that I felt nervous leaving the hostel. Don’t stay here as a solo female. Otherwise the hostel was alright and somewhat clean but I just can’t recommend this area as being safe and comfortable. The staff were friendly and you at least had to show your key card to enter as a security measure.

Terrible location in terms of safety. Looks close to the train station on the map but you have to walk past a huge number of rowdy homeless/druggies to get there and it feels very unsafe. Would not recommend for this reason, especially if you are female or alone. Fine once inside (through two security doors!) but really noisy all night from outside street noise from the people I’ve mentioned above. Not blocked out by the earplugs provided!

There is not much to say against it. Excellent connection to the Main station (2min walk) and therefore to the airport. Everything is in walking distance (old city, museums etc).
The facilities are generally very clean, you can rent a towel (only pay deposit), there is free tea and coffee in the lobby, when you're fast enough sometimes dinner for free as well.
One of the biggest plus is the kitchen with everything you can wish for. There is even a washing mashine and a dryer. A pole table and a flat screen for football games or one of the many DVDs that are available to watch.
manh supermarkets nearby, also chinese/asian markets.
Check in is from 4pm BUT you can store your things at the hostel already and start exploring the city.
The immediate location has to be mentioned, its the red light district. Dubious ppl on the street sometimes calling out but usually not bothering you. Its not the nicest feeling around but then again just two streets further and its the usual Frankfurt. Its only a small area.

Easy walk from train station (Hbf) and to city center. As others have said, if you're uncomfortable with seeing illicit substance use on the streets, then you should consider booking elsewhere. Street noise is pretty loud even with earplugs.
Staff, cleanliness, and security here are great and make up for the area. Good breakfast (€6,50), and free coffee/tea all day is a big plus. Hot showers with good water pressure.
I enjoyed my stay but recognize this spot isn't for everyone.

Schönes großes Zimmer, freundliches Personal, sehr entspannte Atmosphäre
Das Bahnhofsviertel ist sehr unsicher, sollte man sich gut überlegen, v.a. wenn man alleine reist.

El personal fue muy amable y claro, me gustó además que advirtieran que se encontraban en una zona roja y dejaron la opción de cancelar. Aunque si se encontraba en zona roja, me pareció conveniente por la cercanía con el HBF que era lo que necesitaba y la comodidad excepcional
