Germans are not exactly known for their friendliness and United Hostel Frankfurt City Center did not disappoint when it comes to that generalization. As I was waiting in line to be checked in, I was rudely verbally attacked by the receptionist, who tried to instruct me on how to greet someone. But, that was not the only point of contention and it only spiraled downward from there.
Unfortunately, Frankfurt doesn't have enough hostels in the city to begin with, with the other options just as bad or even worse, forcing me to extend my stay there. Nearly every day I was there, I had to contend with rude receptionists that argued with me or talked to me as if I were a child.
The problem with Frankfurt in general is that there are few hostels in the city, so the few that are there have carte blanche to treat visitors however they want as they almost have a monopoly, and they act accordingly.
The room I was staying in had a dirty bathroom that was never cleaned. In fact, there were clothes hanging atop the shower when I arrived, and they were STILL in the exact same place the next evening, proof that the cleaning crew either never entered and cleaned it.
Bottom line?
When I am paying my hard-earned money to stay anywhere, I expect to be treated with respect, not talked to like I stole something. I would advise anyone that MUST come to Frankfurt to stay somewhere else or as few days as possible in this place.

The location was central, its only saving grace.
