Liked: Friendly staff with good facilities. The night walk was a good way to spend a few hours. Other people in the dorm were courteous.

Disliked: Nothing - as they say its in the red light area which is pretty seedy, but as they were honest about it in their description it was something I took into account when booking.

11 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel is very organized and clean! It is definitely worth the price. Location is also great, about 5 min walk from Hauptbahnhof. They warn that it is in the middle of the "Frankfurt Red Light District", but it looks rather like any city center of big cities around the world, with some porn shops, night clubs, etc. It is pretty safe to walk around, so if you don't feel offended or something like that by seeing that kind of entertainment places, just go for it!

Disliked: Actually no remarks on this regard.

07 October 2011 Crystal would recommend this property

Liked: Its the beat hostel I've ever stayed at. It's big with totally 7 floors. But the facilities are so much "hostel", the staff are all young, helpful, energetic and helpful.

Disliked: I would only say it's located in sort of red light district, but if be cautious, it's still safe to walk around. And the security of this hostel is good. They have locks on main entrance, and lock also before reaching the elevator.

06 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Pretty close to station and you can get anything basically . There were supermarkets and drugstores around the area. Hostel itself was pretty stylish too. Love the spacious lobby where people could just hang out and chill. The basement with pool and mini football game was pretty cool too.

Disliked: It was located at the red-light district area so you could see lots of drunkards , drug addicts and prostitutes . I was pretty uncomfortable when they would stared at me once i stepped out from the hostel.

06 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I stayed here on two different occasions and I loved this hostel. They have a special theme night every night of the week from free night walks, to pub crawls to free pasta night. The common room was my favourite of any hostel and this hostel is a good place to meet people! The breakfast was really good. I enjoyed the late check-out time (12 pm). There are enough washrooms on each floor.

Disliked: The lockers roll out under the bed and are very loud whenever anyone tries to get something out from their locker. Was dusty in the room. Whenever you take a shower, the water always goes everywhere no matter how careful you are.

05 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I apreciate the cleanliness (far better than in other hostels), I really liked the atmosphere and the idea of organizing something every night all together (the pub crawl was awesome!)

Disliked: Towels and breakfast(for people staying less than 3 nights), where not included in the price; so it was quite expensive at the end.

04 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great staff. I don't usually like the bigger hostels but this is Germany so it's very well-run. Awesome free walking tour. Bar with cheap beer, BBQ at night, breakfast. A great jumping-off point to see a cool city.

Disliked: It was pricy but due to the Auto Show in town.

Disliked: I got bedbugs in room 406 :( It's my only bad comment, otherwise very nice hostel ! Internet is free if you have a laptop but if not you have to rent one, that is annoying.
