Frank's Backpackers

Everything i love here

Nothing

A huge, bright room with comfortable beds, each equipped with privacy curtains and a personal reading light overhead and a big fridge .For just six hostel guests, there are three toilets, secure lockers for your belongings, and a door leading directly to a small garden where you can enjoy a coffee while watching the lively activity of wild birds. The location is excellent — only a seven-minute walk from the train station and town centre, with plenty of large supermarkets nearby….. This hostel has its own character — it’s not a sterile white room that feels like a hospital. The spacious common area features an interesting clock, a very unusual antique stove, and a unique heating system. This is not a hostel where everything is brand new and shiny, but rather a place that values its heritage, cares about the environment, and offers a sense of stability and authenticity….Don’t be put off by Franks questions and his rules. He is a friendly guy who cares about his place but expressed it in the unusual way. The hostel worth every penny. Recommend…

I wish there will be a microwave…..

I arrived late and both bottom beds were taken. Im a big guy and the top bunk wont hold me. Frankie was fine with me taking the bed matress in the other room with plenty of space. Also sleeping on the floor with this matress was great for my lower back issues as well.

Im greek ... we are born to break rules live as free beings. Dutch or west european culture is different where people obey rules. I found the booking questionnairres and rules a bit too OCD and strict and made me feel uncomfortable. For others this could be fine i think its a cultural issue rather than a property issue.

Fair price and location.

Too cold. The sleeping room was not heated. I stayed at the place in november.
