    The entrance to the hostel is a little ambiguous - I missed it the first time I walked past it. You…read morehave to be buzzed in, which I thought was a little strange, and the elevator is extremely tiny (people in wheelchairs, I'm sorry but it took me a good 8 minutes to help a woman in a wheelchair in and out of this elevator). The lobby is on the third floor, and the workers are very nice and helpful. There's a kitchen that guests are free to use, and free pasta dinner is served at 8pm nightly (but this pasta dinner is literally just pasta tossed in tomato sauce). The rooms are what you'd expect in a hostel. Not amazing but it was also livable. I was in a female-only dorm, which had our own private bathroom and shower which was nice. The complaints I have are that: 1. The wifi doesn't reach the rooms so you have to be in the lobby to use it, and it's very. very spotty. 2. they use card keys but it's VERY difficult to use - i had to have my roommate open the door every time because it wouldn't unlock for me. And I know i'm not the only one with this problem because this happened to our other roommate three times throughout the night as well. 3. having to wait to be buzzed into the hostel can get pretty annoying, especially when no one answers for a while. But you get what you pay for, and the hostel got the job done - a warm place to sleep, a bathroom and shower, and wifi.

    For traipsing around Frankfurt, there is no better hostel than Frankfurt Hostel. Only a three…read moreminute walk from Frankfurt's main train station at Kaiserstrasse, visitors have easy access to getting to the airport and other parts of Germany. The subway is housed below the train station and there are many bus stops out in front. I stayed here a few nights, by myself, while exploring the city. I captured a great deal on their website for a single en-suite room. My room was clean and basic with a huge futon like bed, closet, and a small TV. I used the television to listen to the music on MTV as I got ready. I remembered it was the first time I had ever heard Christina Aquilera's, "Not Myself Tonight." I watched the video in amazement. I had been living in Europe for a few months and realized I was completely out of the loop! The first night the rowdy guys next door woke me up around 3 AM laughing about their hoochie house experiences. Supposedly, they went to a whore house and one guy got stuck with a nasty chick. Aw, boys will be boys. I made a plan to come home shit faced or not at all, if I wanted to be able to sleep peacefully the next night. The bathroom had a small stall shower, medicine cabinet, and a hairdryer. Thank GOD for the dryer because I hadn't been able to fit mine in my minuscule carry-on. It also came equipped with towels, which is included in the price, unlike other hostels. The vibe of the hostel is young, laid back, and fun. They house a great selection of beers in the bar, including my fave Spaten. The bar also duties as the check-in counter. The social/eating area was large with enough room for groups, as well as smaller high tables and chairs for independents or strays like myself. There is also a hospitality area if you want to cook yourself up something to eat. Down the hall is a computer lab, if you didn't bring your laptop. It was 1 euro for an hour. Across the street is Reilly's Pub, I met quite a few fun locals. The pub has karaoke and dancing on the weekends. It was ridiculously fun! Also, below the hostel is a sex shop. I thought that was odd to have below a hostel until I was told by a local that I was staying in the midst of Frankfurt's Red Light District. Niiiiiiiice. With all the fancy upscale shops nearby you would never think that was the case. I never had any problems walking around by myself and I didn't see any "ladies of the night" wandering around. When I go back to Germany, I would have no problem chugging a Spaten and kicking back again at good ole' Frankfurt Hostel.
