It felt secure with a two door buzzer system so staff have to see who they are letting up to the rooms that made me feel more comfortable, the main area was a good communal area.
The room could have been a little cleaner, there where what appeared to be spilt coffee marks on the window sill. And the shower didn't have a door so when showering the bathroom floods, a mop was provided.

Good location but still quiet
-Beds are clean and comfortable
-Free coffee tea and water
Could have more bathrooms: a lot of people share only a few rooms on each floor
- needed to put the covers on bed pillow and blanket myself

Absolutamente nada.
Staff mal educado. Muito hospede para pouco funcionário. Cafe da manha ruim. Area comum pessima, velha, sofas velhos e sujos. Cozinha comunitária horrivel, apesar de estar sempre vazia. Quase ninguem usa de tao ruim que é. Camas desconfortáveis e barulhentas. Quarto sujo. Banheiros ok. Mas o pior realmente é a localização do hostel. Apesar de ser realmente proximo a hauptbahnhof, o local é ainda pior do que foi descrito nas avaliações. Medonho. Horrivel. Drogados na porta, um horror.

Very close to the main station. Restaurants and dm, Rewe are nearby. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The entrances are under security, so I feel safe in the hostel.
Not so much. Even though it's in the red light area, I feel that's acceptable.

Location aside, for the one night I spent it was decent. Very convenient location to station and staff are one of the friendliest I’ve ever met at a hostel.

It was a nice hostel, good atmosphere and very helpful staff. The area around Frankfurt Station is quite rough and potentially dangerous, it has to be said. That is of course no reflection on the hostel, which had a pleasant and chill vibe. Perhaps it could be a nice idea for the hostel to offer a casual service to quickly accompany solo travelers to/from the main street, if they felt they need it. We really enjoyed our stay, especially at such a reasonable price, and would happily visit again.

The receptionist was nice and helpful.
I have never in my life checkeed out of a hostel before right after checking in, but this time I didn’t see another way. The hotel is in the red light district, which doesn’t feel safe even during the day. Then the bed was dirty, literally there were stains on the pillow and the mattress. The last drop were the people I would have had to share the room with… they made me feel uncomfortable by their stares. This one is not that important comoared to the rest, but the staircase and the hallways had a horrible smell.

Leider sind die Einrichtungen des Zimmers in die Jahre gekommen. Licht ging nicht, die Reparatur zog sich hin, da die Quelle vom Kriechstrom (Feuchte) nicht gefunden wurde.

Users silhouetted by the neon lights of Frankfurt, something like the opening scene from Robocop 2. Get used to the smell on the way in or just don't bother.

i was a solo female travller. An okay place to stay if you are just passing through. the hostel was clean and you could get free tea and coffee downstairs. provided you came in at night before the sun set it was safe enough. the police were around and i never saw anyone being hasseled. i spent my evening reading in the common area. most people I saw were working or traveling on to another destination. they did upgrade me for free to a female only dorm which was nice.

The dorm was large, with plenty of space for luggage storage. Close to trams and central train station.
It’s located right in the red light district. This is clearly stated by the property however if you have never been to this area before you might be shocked by the volume of homelessness and drug use. I’m a solo female traveller and I never felt unsafe - even walking to the station at 3am however i probably would chose to stay in a different part of town next time.

El personal muy amable, siempre dispuestos a ayudarme cuando lo necesitaba. Cabe mencionar que puedes encontrar personal que habla en inglés, alemán y/o español.
También destaco la limpieza de los espacios comunes, como cocina y baños compartidos.
Que durante la semana que estuve, no conté con el servicio de lavandería que ofrecían, ya que la lavadora estaba fuera de servicio.

It was dirt cheap and very close to the train station. Good atmosphere in the lobby/common room
It was in the red light district, which is a bonus for some, I guess, but not for me. But the main bad thing is the air quality. The whole hostel feels like there is no fresh air and it really stinks.

Very clean and comfortable apartment, fully equipped. The staff was attentive and helpful. Stayed for one night (overnight in Frankfurt to travel off city). How good the location is could an understatement. Although amidst the Red Light District, which includes lots of undergroud shops, unfortunate people e.t.c., it is just a few minutes walking from the Central Station and a nice walking distance to the river, the city center, the skyline district and more. All the best Frankfurt has to offer is within 15-20 minutes walking, which is amazing. The place itself really good, clean and the apartment accommodated 3 of us very nicely. Good wi-fi, lots of power plugs, warm, fully equiped kitchen (that we didn't use). One of the best value for money places I have ever stayed.
The area is a bit of a problem. For 3 male travellers staying overnight for business, it is not a problem (although we had our small adventures with pickpockets - all good at the end). But would not recommend it for unaware couples and certainly not for families or groups of people that have not travelled a lot. The management is quite proactive when booking, to ask whether you are aware of its location, which is an added value for the property.

Close to airport and to train station. Ideal for a short layover.
Jazz playing in lobby with people on laptop when I arrived. Great safe trunk with lock under bed to put stuff in.
Hostel located in red light district I think so you have to be on guard walking there if you arrive at night. Inside hostel very safe.

The staff were responsive and helpful, and the location was close to amenities. Other than that, the stay was awful. Unclean facilities, disrespectful guests. I got about 6 hours of sleep between two nights. Shady location. The red light district is fine, but many unwelcome people hang around the front of the property. As an adult male this was fine, but others would probably feel unsafe.

Leider sehr dreckig und stickig…. Es lagen Zehnägel auf meiner Matratze und die Toiletten waren in der Nacht auch alles andere als sauber. Lage und Mitarbeiter waren gut, allerdings auch im Rotlichtviertel von Frankfurt, so dass man abends besser zu zweit unterwegs ist.
