No too much, its all shared so not much privacy but im real ok with it.

I like the owner, good price, nice garden, spacy rooms. If you are group of friends you can spend evening inside. Good option if your goal is cheap travel, you are clean, friendly and like to meet new people. Theres a kitchen and a cooler. You can use free bikes. Theres a lot of good restaurants around and great Computer museum. If you getting along and like sports you can get a free martial arts/ fitness training 👍

Definitely worthy of price!!

The living space was quite moist and didn’t smell great when I first got there. I got used to the smell but was still a bit moist.

Affordability was great, by far better than other places I found. With that wasn’t expecting the nicest place (you get what you pay for) but was pleasantly surprised with a very nice livable place! Also the bikes being free to rent (50 euro deposit) was great!

I would have liked if there was a small gas stove to cook in the room. However I understand why not. Shower curtain can use some attention.

600m from train station. Central to all shops and restaurants. Bed is perfect for a 1.95m man. Super clean. Your own independence and chilled environment. Frank Is well educated on all that helmond has to offer and very helpful.

The rattling of the electric heater, cold in January.

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Curtains around the beds were nice addition.

Owner likes to message about every little thing. Someone complains about making noise while having to climb a ladder into bed then he emails. Ridiculous expectations like not drinking alcohol at all even if your in a completely different city to helmond. Owner gets annoyed if you come in and out of the flat at times which suit you aka travelling to Maastricht and getting back super late!

Location was close to train station was easy to use to get around brabant.

The price is really good, the neighborhood is very nice and it's close to public transports

Unique experience to get to visit a Wonderful city for cheap. The hostel idea in itself should be spread more.

The other visitors were very friendly and Frank himself is a great guy! It was fun.

Nothing,when taking into account this is a concept that involves simple routines and agreements before being a guest.b

The quietness and easy going friendliness

Stayed in June 2023

I did really love the location it was pretty close to the train station. I didnt see the staff cause I arived in evening and left early morning, but so far online the staff has been nice.

It was cheap and cheerful for the five nights. I would have liked if the fridge in the dorm actually worked as I had to use the fridge in the kitchen. I had a perfect stay during the 5 days as there was only one other person but in the summer when it gets busy, it would be great if there is an outside door in the shower as opposed to just two curtains, one for the shower and one entering the shower. I think for safety and peace of mind a door to the shower room would help.

I slept really well for the 5 nights, the area is super quiet and 12 minutes walk into helmond city and 12 minutes walk from the airport. The bed was comfortable, the shower was warm and the place was clean and affordable. There's also bikes available to rent which is good and a swimming pool close by which I used.

These are observations, not deal breakers. The configuration of the dorm doesn't make sense. The shower appears to be in a sort of kitchen. Where should you wash your hands after using the toilet? Big opening above toilet door. Lots of manky old 'left items' clutter up the place (free stuff). Empty left shampoo bottles in the shower (free stuff). I get the idea, but it doesn't add to comfort. Not sure why there's a mini fridge way up above the normal fridge.

The 'later than usual' check out time is a huge plus. It enabled me to return and have a shower after running the Eindhoven half marathon, before proceeding to the airport. Key code front door lock is convenient, cause you don't nee to carry around keys.. Hot shower. Lockers for valuables. Very convenient location. Less than 10min walk to the train and bus station. I was allocated a floor level bunk as requested. Handy alcove to put stuff next to bed. Bedside light plus power outlets conveniently next to the bed. I was alone in the dorm. Plenty of information was made available prior to my stay, including a video, so I knew exactly what to expect. Internet code provided in an email along with the door code, so you can connect from just outside the property if needed. This is handy, should there be any changes eg. door code, or dorm bed re-allocation. This shows that the host has considered those, like myself, who don't use roaming broadband. Most hosts don't consider such things, so Frank gets two thumbs up from me. Friendly host.

There was someone snoring very loudly during my stay, which isn't really Frank's fault but definitely a risk when staying in dorm rooms. I also found the blankets were a a lot too warm for the summer, but you should be able to replace them if desired.

It was a great way of helping internationals visit this lovely section of the Netherlands :) The dorm was reasonably clean and had all sorts of facilities, and the beds were comfortable. The place is near the train station which is very convenient if traveling to Eindhoven. I also found it really funny that one of the toilets was super high. It was like a "being short simulator". Definitely not a negative thing! But that's just a detail ;)

- Not very clean sheets - Humidity and moldy smell

- Interesting host and concept - Good location - Nice garden - Great guests (beside snorting woman) - Very good price - Not too many people even at max capacity

Stayed in June 2022

I used the place as a hub for exploring Eindhoven and other nearby towns. Not only did the accommodation meet my expectations, but Frank made sure to provide some quality chat since I was the only guest at the time. Just be realistic with what you expect and keep in mind most places charge 30€/night in Eastern Europe, so getting a warm place to sleep in the Netherlands for 15€ comes without certain commodities.

Comfort (stale odor, air humidity, lack of sufficient heating)

Unbeatable price, good location

Stayed in October 2024

Everything. Hosts were dodgy people and didn't make me feel safe. The room was open and didn't have a door. Bathroom had no privacy as you could literally see over it. Room smelt of mold really strong and it was unclean.

nothing

Stayed in July 2024

Ventilation needs to be much better, the air is mouldy and stale, it was very difficult for me to breathe.

People should be aware that this is the cheapest accommodation in the country, so having that in mind, you cannot expect too much. Frank has his rules and he makes it perfectly clear that in order to stay there you have to follow them stricly. I took that very seriously, cleaned after mynself, recycled properly, wiped everything after use, and spent there 7 days. We had absolutely no problems. Along the way, I made some lifelong friends at Frank's.

Nothing negative to report.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere inside the hostel, meeting and cooperating with people from different countries, as well as the self-sufficiency concept promoted by the host.

Stayed in July 2024

The best place I would suggest, if you are travelling alone or with a couple of people. Very quiet place. I would highly recommend this place if you are planning a very long stay.

Stayed in June 2024

The room was nice and location convenient.

What quests clean is clean and nice to use. But no one cleans things like the floor or dusts.

Quality and price range is very good and accepted for this stay. Would stay here again but for one night.
