Price and performance ratio was really good. The capsule was comfortable enough. Unlike usual hostel's shared room, you can sit up straight from the bed, and stretch your leg all the way. (I'm 5'8") It has its own ventilation system inside so you don't feel like suffocating. Also, among the amenities they even give you a flip flop! (Which was surprisingly high quality) Shared bathrooms are also clean and spacious. It's a nice hybrid option when you don't want to spend too much on the hotel but still want some privacy during your stay.

The sound insulation was effective. Although shared, the showers and toilet were clean. I had a room to myself and the other people on the floor were quiet. The kitchen was well stocked. My items in the fridge didn't go missing. The heating in the room was effective. This is in the Sachsenhausen area of Frankfurt so it's cleaner than the area around central train station (hauptbanhof). It's a residential area. The main station is 1.8 km away but the walk is a scenic one crossing a bridge and then left to a riverside walk or thru a park. There's a good sized Rewe Supermarket in the area too. I purposely avoided the Hauptbanhof area but still want access to the station.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The breakfast was awesome, the best I ever had in a youth hostel. The location is convenient, cross the road and you can walk along the Main.

This is a well-managed hostel. The rooms are clean and have enough space. The location is close to the Dome and some distance from the main train station so it is safer at night. Breakfast is super great.
