    It's next to a lot of night clubs, most of the "shops" around the hostel are night clubs. If that doesn't bother you than the hostel is nice

    The room was clean and simple. We had the twin bed

    The room was unbearably hot and the fan didn't help at all. Also since it is in the red light district there is a lot of noise at night.

    Probably the most organized hostel I've stayed in. Couple of common areas and water/coffee/tea available all day. Happy Hour each evening with 2 for 1 drinks which is the best deal in the area. Rooms were spacious and huge storage boxes that fit both my suitcase and backpack in. Yes, the hostel is in the red light district but I always felt safe in the area and they have 24/7 security and front desk. It's also an easy 20 minute walk to the water area where there's boat cruises and tons of restaurants and bars. The central station is about 6 minutes walk so also very accessible to and from the airport and other areas.

    It would be nice if the back teras opens a little earlier.

    The location is initially a little dodgy, being in the redlight district. However, this poses no problem and is a good chance to see that side of society as well.

    My room number was 207 when I entered Tha room. I noticed the foul smell 9f Tha washroom in the front and I did not like it at all

    The good thing was a metro station nearby and there were places to visit nearby.

    Yes, the location is surrounded by drug addicts, drug dealers, and mafia, but it isn't dangerous. It is ok for those traveling solo or in a group of friends.

    Bed was comfortable

    The location is the worse. It’s very dangerous during the night, mostly if you’re a woman. And isn’t clean, they should take care a little bit more of that.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    A convenient, cheap place to stay in Frankfurt.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room (8 adults)
    • Stayed 2 nights

    As the hostel warns, it is located in Frankfurt's red light district, which isn't truly dangerous but does mean that there are a lot of dodgy characters moving around outside. The hostel itself feels secure. Breakfast-time can be a little chaotic, with hold-ups due to staff struggling with accounts issues and delaying service, while serving yourself coffee requires a strong arm and some persistence!. One of the upstairs toilets suffered from repeated blockages.

    This hostel provides an affordable place to stay in Frankfurt, conveniently close to the main railway station. The staff are generally helpful, there is a buffet breakfast available for extra (modest) cost and the place has secure left-luggage facilities. A variety of beers and other drinks are available at good-value prices.

    It was fine, even though it is in red light district, the druggies and homeless people on the street may appear dangerous but they are harmless and are in their own world.

    location is close to central station and next door is a Indian restaurent Saravana Bhavan

    Beds could have been better.

    The only thing needs to be changed is the frames of the bed as they move and squeak when you move. But it is very clean and staff are friendly and pillow is nice. Kickers available too for even big baggage. Location is in a shady area but very very close to central train station so that's a good thing.

    To get to the upper bunk bed there weren't enough steps in the ladder to step on from the bottom. It was difficult specially when someone was sleeping at the bottom.

    The lobby space is a good community space to sit and work, it's well lit with nice ambience. There's a free coffee/tea station you can get coffee from.
