The Location of this Hostel cannot be beaten!! 2 seconds from the station and within walking distance of everything. Although the red light district is also on the doorstep, handy for some maybe??! The Breakfast was also Amazing! All in all a great hostel. Only thing was I didn't really get any info or tips about what to do in Frankfurt from the staff which is always helpful.

Just stayed for 1 night but the hostel was really good. Wanted to stay longer. Not the best hostel in the world but a good hostel!

very good location: so close to the Hbf and easy to find. The outside environment is not that bad as I thought about the red light area: as long as you get to the hostel, you are fine.

this hostel is located in a very convienent and exciting part of town. if you are worried about noise, ask for a room on the quiet side.

Hostel is in an excellent location, minutes from main train station. Breakfast is a highlight - 5 star, all you can eat. Also free wifi. Rooms are basic but all you need when travelling, own ensuite attached to dorm room is a bonus. One thing to improve would be adding lockers to the dorms to increase security rating. All in all, a good hostel and I would stay there again if in Frankfurt :)

In general good hostel, average staff and excellent breakfast buffet. I don't like the policy of smoke friendly in the pub (night) / breakfast (morning). During the breakfast some guys were smoking with the windows wide opened and it was cold air and smoke entering from the window and the staff didn't say anything. The location is practical but not nice to go around. In my opinion, It is too overpriced.

smoking in the reception room should not be welcomed, as well as noise after midnight time. On the whole the room was pleasant and clean.

The smoking in the main room is ridiculous & drove many people from hanging out. They should smoke outside or have an outside smoking porch.

A great location in that it's right next to the main train station and within walking distance to all the fun spots in Frankfurt. The street it is located on is the red light district, however. If you're a lady traveling alone, make sure you don't hang out outside the hostel.

From me: Had a great time here. The common room is huge and great to meet new people. The staff are nice. Location (middle of the Frankfurt red light district) might deter some people, but it didn't bother me, and was right next to the major train and tram stations anyway. From me mate: The rooms stank, and the security... did not exist past there being a lock on the door. There was a random changing beds each night and the free pasta dinner had hobos from the street rocking up.
