Where are the hostels in Frankfurt, and what do they offer?
Both hostels I introduce on this page are located close to the main train station, also only a few minutes from the main shopping areas, the old town and major Frankfurt attractions.

Well, don't be scared when someone tells you the hostels are in Frankfurt's red light district. Although Kaiserstrasse and the district "Bahnhofsviertel" are often equalised with being the red-light quarter, the scene is only located in a few streets north of the Kaiserstrasse these days.
The entire area is totally safe during the day, and even at night, if you use common sense. Get recommendations from the friendly staff at the hostels in Frankfurt about the best bars and places you can go at night, and you'll be fine.
