Only stay here if you need to be close to the train station. The place felt cold and unfriendly. Only two single person bathrooms for a floor with multiple 12 person rooms. The bathrooms were not very clean probably because of this. The breakfast was actually pretty substantial with cheeses and meats to make panini's (I guess it's a german thing?). I didn't care so much for frankfurt overall. Go to a small german town and/or berlin.

Such a great hostel! As close as it says to the station- REALLY! Rooms were spacious, kitchen well equipped, clean bathrooms. But the kicker- breakfast was phenomenal (good enough for us to be excited to get up every morning). The people in charge here know how to keep guests happy- free pasta party once a week, more than generous breakfast buffet, staff that are happy to help out. Small downfall- computers aren't free and as the place is large it can feel a little clinical at times.

I thought the lounge/BF room/bar/reception was too small for so many functions, with not enough chairs and the TV was never on, plus the sofa is under the TV (didn't undertand that!). The rooms were clean & warm (I was there in early Decembre) but the shower wasn't very hot at 8am.. probably too many ppl having bath at the same time. The rooms don't have lockers. They are on the reception floor. Really great location and friendly staff! Great BF!

I really like this hostel...! It is located just over the main entrance of Frankfurt train station. The staff are so kind..! They are very tolerant to people who speak English as their second language. Good hostel and good staff bring good guests, the the guests are also so friendly, I really felt an international vibrant. Unfortunately, I could not give a review regarding the surrounding hostel, because I stayed there due to attend an exhibition where is very located very close to the hostel.

The closest hostel to the train station. Literally 150m from the front door! Nice free breakfast in the mornings. Had everything a hostel needs. Clean and cheap-ish.

Literally right next to the Hbf, on a pedestrianized street full of shops. Look out--there's a few XXX-rated stores a few blocks away, but the area didn't feel red-light at all; think they were anomalies. Cool, historic-looking entryway, decent breakfast.

I was very pleased with this hostel. I hadn't stayed in a hostel since my student days, but decided to chance it due to budgetary concerns. My room had four women and one bathroom with shower; there was no contention for the bathroom facilities. The bathroom was cleaned daily. The staff were very helpful. The only negative was that the bed springs creaked loudly whenever anyone repositioned themselves in bed. That said, the beds were comfortable, and the blankets warm enough.

Good location and clean comfortable rooms. Breakfast is included and provides plenty of choice. Pasta party on Saturday evening is popular - good fun.

The location is great, right in front of the train station. The actual red light district is a couple blocks back (where there are lots of other hostels, so if you compare it, this is the best location you're gonna get). The free breakfast is fantastic, everything you could hope for. Staff is very helpful and friendly. My only complaint is that there should be lockers inside the bedrooms. Oh, and also, people open the balcony doors in the lounge to smoke, which is bad in winter.

I am a regular client who have visited the place several times. Low season.. don't expect too much fun, my stay was just a night over to get my flight. the bathrooms are clean. the sheet, towels and pillow covers are provided clean. however, the hostel must try to find a solution to the insects and buggs. -----------they have bitten me in my last two visits at the hostel.---------- I suppose the carpet on the floor is the reason for these creatures.

I enjoyed my stay. The locations was great, the staff were friendly and the rooms were really clean. My only complaints would be that we had to leave a deposit for everything and that there was only one hair dryer. I was leaving the country the next day so I didn't have a lot of euros left. Overall I had great stay.
