The hostel has very good facilities and amenities, the staff is very friendly, they have a restaurant with very reasonable prices, and the rooms are clean. Despite being conveniently located near the train and bus station, the surrounding area is noisy, with many brothels and drug use, although it's not dangerous.

A decent seat, and excellent customer service !

Had a glitch with an online payment, and was accidentally over-charged. The manager was quick to look into it, and fixed it before I checked out in the morning. Excellent customer service ! Thanks to all for the good stay.

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.

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.

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.

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)
