    Microlocation of the hostel is quite bad, being in the heart of red light districts gives you close look into the worst part of the Frankfurt city, leaving you npt feeling so safe when you walk out into the street. Cleanliness and supply of fresh air is something they could work on, both in the common area, and esspecially in the bathrooms and toilets.

    The common area is well equipped with a pool, foosball, board games.

    There are street scum/beggars outside on the street. And they annoy passers-by. It can be scary to come back to the hostel at night.

    Room was nice and clean.

    The window seat on the Red Light district was a bit surreal! I really liked that the hostel made a point of saying this was their location, but it wasn't a problem, just very convenient. Nice hostel. Good location, nice people, great breakfast.

    This place is in the red light district -- this is fine as long as you don't engage with the many dodgy people around here! However, it is very close to the central station and quite convenient for travelling!

    I love how friendly the staff were, and there were many events on most days during my stay!

    The area is horrible, but that is something that you are already warned about when booking, so I was mentally prepared. My bedsheets were torn apart in several places, they definitely require the new ones

    The hostel is close to the train station, perfect for 1 night sleep. Good value for money, especially since I was alone in my room. Breakfast was decent and the staff was really friendly. They have a lot of lockers in the basement for leaving your things.

    Price is not small for special area and simple amenities but still best for a short term stay waiting for a train.

    My bunk bed was the only one in use, so had effectively a single room, better than expected! Very central location was great, nightlife outside did not harm my sleep. Lobby with food, drinks, seats was inviting and a plus. Very friendly staff.

    On streets there’re some drug addicts, inebriates and even prostitutes. On streets not feeling safe. But hotel itself is absolutely okay.

    Location very close to main station. On foot 5 minutes maximum can reach hotel. Room is clean and price is beautiful. Hotel reception is also friendly to guests and very responsible.

    The neighborhood -- you're stepping over people smoking drugs on the sidewalk and it's loud on weekends. I'm not crazy about how they have variable pricing instead of a fixed rate; it works well for the company, no doubt, but can make it hard to plan for budget travelers.

    They clean daily and do a better, more thorough job than any other hostel in the area. Rooms (dorm) are large enough to not feel crowded by people or suitcases. Lockers are the biggest in the area as well. Staff are good at their jobs AND friendly, two things other hostels struggle with.

    The downside was the location, the neighborhood had a concerning number of drug atticks and homeless people, making nighttime walks feel insecure. Moreover, the kitchen had its quirks – a small fridge and a sluggish ceramic heating surface that tested my patience when preparing meals. Overall, a decent stay but with some noteworthy drawbacks.

    The accommodation offered a clean environment with a pleasant atmosphere and a friendly staff.

    The location is in red light area and the surroundings are not hygienic. You have to pay attention while walking on the streets specially in night.

    The location is nearby to the central station of Frankfurt. If you are coming by Flix bus , the bus station is next to the central station, so you can reach to the hostel in 10 minutes of walking. Other touristic place e.g Opera, Christmas Markets are all nearby.
