Booked 2 rooms and stayed here for 6 nights.
1st night someone came entered our room in mid night with a key card
2nd night.
I didn't opt for the breakfast. This hostel is safe and secure. Staff are friendly and helpful. Dorm rooms are cheap with good facilities. Location OK. Good transport links to city centre.
Very comfortable, excellent for the miniscule price

I’m aware this is a cheap option and the expectations have to be according. However, I’ve been in other a&o for the same price, and this one felt more neglected. But I mean,
Nice folks, comfortable bedding , tram and grocery store very close , many dining options.
I've done the hostel thing for awhile, probably one of the best I've been to.
I liked the location of the hostel. Its close to the train station making it easy to walk to. Could be a bit cleaner however its was par to most hostels I've been to. I would definitely stay again.
I forgot my wallet in the room and the employees were super nice and let me go back in to look for it. Great vibes all around, clean place, and a really awesome stop if you have a big group.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The private rooms are tiny rooms, barely fit the bed. Transit is few steps away so you can take whatever you need to get to your destination. Ideally for backpackers or freelancers but I don’t recommend for family travel
The property itself and the staff are great.
The only reason why I don't give it 5 stars is because their clients are pigs and the staff don't seem to care much about it
My day layover from the Frankfurt airport free subway and bus system. The price with free public transport makes it perfect more so than the facilities.
Excellent location with easy access to public transportation. Walking distance to a discount supermarket, various cafes and dining options. Great value for the price!
However, it would be nice if there were at least a fridge, microwave and kettle in the room versus keeping food in a shared fridge in the basement kitchen.
