The (short) walk from the train station to the hostel was a little concerning, but the hostel is very safe, clean, and friendly.

Good that it is near to train station. Service at desk, very slow. Maybe overloaded. Hostel expensive for what is received.

The proximity to the main train station is great. The place is great with an awesome vibe, the neighborhood no so good though.

Good experience

My overall experience was very good with the hostel. The room was nice, bed was nice and clean and was provided fresh linens for it. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean as well as the bathrooms. The breakfast was nice

4/10 Fair

The location of this property is right in the middle of the red light district and was unsafe. Thieves, street prostitutes, drug dealers/users just outside the entrance. The place was noisy both inside and outside the property. Other than the reception area, the facility was below average. Overall, this was by far the worst place I have stayed in Europe over the past few weeks.
Randy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hostel was clean, the staff was friendly, and I had a nice interaction with other travelers there. The location, though conveniently close to the main train station, is the red light district and gets quite dirty on Saturday night. But I, a man, nevertheless felt safe walking to and from the hostel even at night.

Very noisy outside

It was noisy outside until morning, it was uncomfortable, and I couldn't sleep.

being next to the train station is convenient but it's a shady area that you wouldn't want to be in

Jost, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This the worst place I ever stayed. I didn’t even sleep in the room. I waited in the lobby until it was time to leave for my flight. I didn’t feel comfortable but the three young men in the room were friendly.

The room had a bad smell of feet. The area around the hostel is very sketchy.
Roman B, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything good. Very friendly staff and the hostel is very clean and well organised. Just one thing, I paid through Expedia with my credit card and at check in I had to show the Email from the host that the payment was successful. They didn't have a record of me paying.

Close to hbf, average stay

Stay was ok, just one night with my brother. We knew about the location being in the red light district, not an issue since we chose this for the proximity to the hbf. The staff that checked us in was not friendly at all, smiled at the two guest ahead of us and when it was our turn she was dull and expressionless. The bathrooms and showers were shared and were in an ok condition, just like at a dormitory at school. We had a private room and I’m glad I booked that for the privacy.

Budget hostel and thats what get for what you pay; staff could be a little bit polite and welcoming. Personal observation is that, rooms lack ventilation (no windows) to hel air circulation and so, I couldn't sleep inside my alotted room.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed here 2 nights. We had a great time the first day, no issues. On our second night we were getting ready for bed and found around 10 bed bugs in both beds. Went to the front desk and was told they were all booked up and since it was night shift they couldn’t refund us. They gave us no alternatives so we had to sleep on the floor. The next morning the staff was very remorseful and gave us a refund for our stay. If it was not for the bed bugs we would have had an amazing time.

8/10 Very good

Good service, not good neighbourhood

I decided to stay in the hostel at the last minute. The reception was very comprehensive and gave me 2 hours earlier check-in. The locker provided was safe. Lack of air-conditioning system (it was quite hot in Frankfurt). The area where the hostel is located has lots of drug users, which makes me feel unsafe. Although it's well located (the heart of the city centre)
Raika Antonielle, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I book the top floor, for a single room. People stay at dorm bed will come to the top floor, use its space for playing guitar, personal stuff without permission. In the middle of the night, 12:15 am, someone will break in my own. I told the staff, they did not think it was a big deal.

Eine Oase der Ruhe und Geborgenheit im Sturm

Ein sicherer Ort in einer nachts gefährlichen und lauten Gegend: Hinter dem Frankfurter Hauptbahnhof. Aber auf dem Kopfkissen lagen zwei hygienisch verpackte Ohrstőpsel.
