Panorama Hostel in Frankfurt am Main

Don't go there.

The owners only try get good reviews. So they can get more MONEY(guests).

You need to pay for everything other than entrance.

If you want to use kitchen, you need to pay.
Printing costs 1euro for 1 sheet.(no-color)
If you lose YOUR WIFI password, you need to pay 5euro to get new one.
They turn off WIFI before check-out. You can not use it until you leave.
You can not stay at the lobby after 12am.
I needed to go to bathroom to make a call at night.

Only 1 bathroom for 100 people.
No mirror to get ready in the morning. Or you need to share the only mirror and water supply with 5people.
Not allowed to eat in rooms.
The owner tries to make you think HE IS NICE. But HE IS NOT.
He hits guests, makes fool of you if he doesn't like you.
He comes to your room to check you're not breaking any rules.

So stressful. I've traveled more than 30 countries for more than a year but this is the worst hostel for sure.

I understand that it's just a hostel with two stars but I visited better hostels with the same amount of stars. We needed to pay almost everything extra and even had to bring our own bed sheets in the dirty laundry. It was the first experience like this and I saw better.

My stay at the Frankfurt Central Hostel was short but the "highlights" included (1) the owner grabbing and pinning me against the wall, (2) elbowing me in the face, (3) kicking my glasses and cell phone when they hit the ground after said elbowing, (4) clenching my shirt so hard that he left cuts and bruises in my chest, (5) throwing over his head by backpack with my DSLR camera inside at my face, (6) chucking my other bag with ceramics inside it against the wall, and (7) threatening to kill me if I ever returned. What set this man off? Surely it must have been something terrible.

Earlier that night I made a booking through Expedia and after walking 40 minutes with my heavy bags I arrived at the hostel, was buzzed in, and promptly told by the owner that he cancelled my booking. Why? The price was too low. The owner wanted me to pay more than twice the price I had reserved it for (45 euros for a bed in an 8 person room). He also claimed that my credit card did not process the room charge, but he was not authorized to charge my card and certainly not for 45 euros. According to the terms of the reservation I was to pay 21 euros at the hostel. So, as anyone who has worked on consumer protection issues would have done, I tried to show him my reservation on my phone where it explained the price and the payment terms. He wanted none of it and halfway through my explanation he grabbed me and proceeded through numbers (1) - (7).

Its up to you to decide whether this man deserves your business, but buyer beware if you find what looks like a deal online.
