Liked: First night there they were having a barbeque and everyone got a free burger ... what more could you want! Even though it's in the red light district you feel perfectly safe and it's not as bad outside as you'd think.

Disliked: lia left no negative feedback.

Liked: Clean, safe and secure. Bar and lots of seating area. (they have no kitchen but are) happy to let you bring in take-out and alcohol.

Disliked: No kitchen space is always a bit of a pain. Location is very handy for train station but is located in a relatively seedy red light district; (a definite downside for us that may be your upside?)

22 August 2010 Jarred would recommend this property

Liked: Make no mistake, this hostel is in a seedy area.My girlfriend and I thought we were going to get rolled in the middle of the day.BUT!After a month and a half of hostelling, this was the coolest, hippest and most enjoyable of the lot.The rooms have a cool grungy feel, the staff are exceptional and the people we met were brilliant.I wouldn't recommend walking around by yourself, especially at night, but if you are in Frankfurt, do go. You won't regret it.

17 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I really liked the quiz night they had my first night and that there was a great hang out room and a pool table. It is VERY close to the train station

Disliked: the location is on the redlight district which I did not realize meant that there was a lot of homeless people and shady characters outside of the hostel. There is a casino next door that was very loud. It was not easy to sleep.

Liked: Easily located. Quick check-in. Clean rooms and baths. Good variety of inexpensive food in the area, open late.

Disliked: It is located right in the red light district surrounded by sex businesses and working girls. One must work one's way through the gaunlet to get to the hostel.

15 August 2010 Phillipa would recommend this property

Liked: It is band new - the beds are comfortable, I mean really comfortable - the sheets and pillows are clean and new. It serves breakfast until 12mid day . They hire bikes for just 5 Euroes for the whole day (NICE). The staff are friendly and helpful. They don't charge you for extra things like lockers, towels, breathing every five seconds. It is in a very handy location as it is right near the main train terminal which is great for getting to other cities and the airports. It has hot showers which was great.

Disliked: The location was great but it is in the red light district and some of the neighbourhood people left a little to be desired. Having said that though they were not far from better districts so it being in this area wasn't really a problem. I would highly reccommend they install door closers on all the doors that make ALL THE DOORS close more softly. Being woken up by slamming doors is not my favorite - but all the good things in this hostel out weighs this. I would also recommend that they bleach the showers more often - don't get me wrong they were not so dirty they were disgusting but they did smell a little and some regular bleach would fix this. Also there was a bit of hair stuck to the walls of the shower which would be nicer if it wasn't there. But the showers were very hot which was awesome.
