  “ Frankfurt is one of biggest industrial business cities of Germany. This statement makes tourist think that this fantastic city doesnot offers any thing for the tourist. Thats wrong! as along having big skyskapper and exhibition, this city has many museums , catherdrals, shopping areas and an… more amazing skyline in the afternoon that can be seen from the top of the Frankfurt tower or the shoping and movie center. The walking track along the river "am Main" is very relaxing and cooling place. Frankfurt has almost very type of restaurant Pakistani, chinese, italian and many more where in the pubs, Irish Pub are the most famous ones. If you visit Frankfurt , tasting the famous apple wine is a must. Frankfurt has a sexy night life from discos to night clubs.close

  “ This hostel is literally right across the street from the main train station, making traveling around very easy. The hotel staff were OK-- no real problems. The man at the fron desk ignored me for a little bit while I was waiting to check-in, but he left later and was replaced by a younger,… more cooler reception-man. Beds are quite comfy, very clean rooms, bathrooms are very nice and kept in good condition. The key card system is a bit difficult to master, but it is a very ingenious way of securing the hallways from outsiders. Its located inside and old building, the elevator is tony, so if you have lots of luggage, you may have to make a few trips between floors. Great hostel, great location!close
