Long-running hostel on Kaiserstraße near the Hauptbahnhof.
Frankfurt Hostel is a long-running budget hostel at Kaiserstraße 74 in the Bahnhofsviertel, close to the Hauptbahnhof in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany. Kaiserstraße is the main axis running from the station toward the city centre, lined with restaurants, shops and offices, and the address puts the Hauptwache, the Römerberg and the Main riverbank within about fifteen minutes on foot. Rail, S-Bahn, U-Bahn and tram connections are at the station, including the airport S-Bahn, so the hostel suits backpackers, rail travellers and anyone on a short stay. The district has a mixed character, with banks and hotels beside small eateries and bars from many cultures, and visitors should apply ordinary city awareness at night. The hostel offers Dorm Beds and Private Rooms, with rates in the EUR 25-80 range depending on room type and season. A shared kitchen lets guests cook their own meals, which is a useful saving in an expensive city, and Wi-Fi is provided. Shared common areas encourage meeting other travellers and exchanging sightseeing tips. There is no restaurant, pool or spa on site, but cheap meals are easy to find on nearby streets, from Turkish and Eritrean kitchens to German bakeries and Asian restaurants. The service style is informal and practical, with staff familiar with transport options, day tickets and walking routes to the Städel Museum, the Museumsufer and the Zeil shopping street. Prices rise during Messe trade fairs, and dorms fill quickly in those weeks. Solo travellers, small groups and budget-conscious visitors use the hostel as a simple, central base, and its closeness to the station makes early departures and late arrivals easy.
