Das Eigentum — The Corner Hostel
The Corner Hostel is a stripped-back, practical base in Frankfurt's Bahnhofsviertel, just steps from the main train station. The lobby is sparse but clean, with a vending machine and a noticeboard of walking tours—no velvet ropes, no fuss. It suits solo backpackers and budget travellers who need a safe, central lock-up for their luggage and don't mind thin walls. The USP is pure geography: you can walk to the banking district or catch a tram to the airport in 15 minutes.
Chroniken von Frankfurt am Main
Frankfurt began as a 1st-century Roman settlement, then grew into a key medieval trade fair town. Its skyline was rebuilt after Allied bombers flattened 80% of the old city in 1944. Today, glass skyscrapers house the European Central Bank, while the rebuilt Römer square and half-timbered houses nod to the pre-war past. Culturally, it's a city of contradictions: bankers in suits next to the Applewine pubs of Sachsenhausen, and a lively arts scene centred on the Museumsufer.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Frankfurt am Main-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June, September: mild temperatures (18-25°C), long daylight hours, and fewer cruise-ship crowds than July-August. The Main river banks buzz with outdoor bars.
Peak / Festival Surge
July-August and December for Christmas markets. July brings high heat and the Museumsuferfest (late August). Hotel prices spike by 50-100% during trade fairs (e.g. IAA in September). June is busy but not crushing.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October offer 10-18°C, cheap flights, and empty museums. October's Frankfurt Book Fair drives up rates but the rest of the month is quiet.
Wetter & Verpackung
Frankfurt's weather is fickle—sun, showers, and a sudden chill can hit in one day. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layer with a merino top; leave the umbrella at home and buy a cheap one if it rains.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Frankfurt am Main
- The U-Bahn's Line U5 is partially closed for track upgrades between Hauptbahnhof and Konstablerwache until 30 June—use buses or walk.
- The new REWE supermarket opened in the train station's basement in April, open 7am-11pm for cheap groceries and snacks.
- Summer construction on the Main riverbank path near Untermainbrücke means some towpath sections are fenced off—take the parallel street.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to The Corner Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (third floor). The lift stops on all three floors, so you avoid stairs, and being higher up cuts street-level noise from Moselstrasse, which carries trams and traffic from the Hauptbahnhof area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms if you can. They face the pavement and street, and the shared entrance and ramp mean foot traffic and chatter right outside. Also skip any room directly next to the lift shaft on any floor — the lift mechanism hums through thin walls, especially in an older building like this 3-star hostel.
Best views
Rooms on the third floor at the front (Moselstrasse side) look over the street and rooftops towards Hauptbahnhof — a lively, urban view of trains and city lights. Back-facing rooms overlook inner courtyards; less interesting but quieter.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are quieter. The lift serves all floors, so third floor gives maximum vertical distance from street noise without losing convenience.
🔊 Noise notes
Moselstrasse 34 sits in Bahnhofsviertel, Frankfurt's station district. Expect street noise from trams, taxis, and late-night foot traffic — especially on Friday and Saturday nights. The building has no double glazing mentioned, so ask for a top-floor room away from the lift. Also, the main entrance ramp and pavement conversations carry into ground-floor rooms.
Insider tips
Park at Parkhaus Hauptbahnhof (Karlstr. 3, €24/24h) — it's a two-minute walk. Check in early (before 6pm) to secure a top-floor room. The free WiFi is solid for streaming, so don't bother with a data plan for the room.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Your arrival at The Corner Hostel
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🧭 First things nearby: cash · Frankfurter Volksbank — 328 m · ~4 min walk — pharmacy · Kettenhof-Apotheke — 570 m · ~7 min walk
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Umher zu kommen
Find train tickets →Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1, bus platform B1 outside arrivals) → Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main station, then walk 10 mins to hotel)
💡 Direct to central station, then cross Kaiserstrasse and walk east 5 mins – hotel is behind the station. Slightly pricier than S-Bahn, but runs later if train schedule ends.
Frankfurt Airport (all terminals, taxi rank outside arrivals) → Le Méridien Parkhotel Frankfurt (Am Kaiserplatz 1)
💡 Use the free taxi line directly outside Terminal 1 arrivals. Flat-rate to centre is ~35€; add 5€ for luggage. Cash or card accepted.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1, regional train station) → Hauptwache station (5-min walk to hotel)
💡 Buy a single-ticket RMV 5 tariff zones (4.90€). Hotel is near Hauptwache exit B – walk east along Rossmarkt to Am Hauptbahnhof road.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1, ground level tram stop) → Hauptwache stop (via Festhalle/Messe stop)
💡 Less crowded than S-Bahn. Alight at Hauptwache and walk 5 mins through Goetheplatz. Same RMV ticket as S-Bahn, but slower – better if you have no luggage.
Frankfurt Airport (Bus Terminal, outside Terminal 1) → Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
💡 The bus stop is just outside Terminal 1, but again, walking takes 5–7 minutes through a heated corridor. Only use this if you physically can't walk with suitcases — otherwise it's unnecessary faff.
Willy-Brandt-Platz (10-min walk from Hauptwache) → The Westin Grand Frankfurt (stop: Freßgass/Goetheplatz)
💡 Trams are great for a short hop from the city centre. Use the RMV app for live departures. Tickets are valid for any route within the inner district for 1 hour. A day pass for €6.50 saves money if you’ll use it more than twice.
Frankfurt Südbahnhof (south side, platform A) → Kennedy 89 - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt (stop: Kennedyallee)
💡 This is handy if you're coming from the south side of the city (S-Bahn lines S1, S2, S8, S9 stop at Südbahnhof). Exit bus at Kennedyallee stop – it's right across the street from the hotel. No need to buy a ticket in advance; pay contactless on board (RMV app also works).
Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (U-Bahn station, lower level) → Kennedy 89 - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt (via Alte Oper station, then 5-min walk)
💡 No direct U-Bahn to Kennedyallee – get off at Alte Oper (U6/U7) or Eschenheimer Tor (U1/U2/U3/U8) and walk east for 5-7 mins along Bockenheimer Landstrasse or Kennedyallee. Or take U4/U5 to Willy-Brandt-Platz and hop on tram 16/17 for one stop to Kennedyallee (but tram tickets are same price).
Frankfurt Hauptwache (bus stop A) or Konstablerwache → The Westin Grand Frankfurt (stop: Westin Grand/Taunusanlage)
💡 Only useful if you’re out very late and the S-Bahn has stopped. Buy a ticket from the driver (cash or card). The hotel is a 2-min walk from the stop. Check RMV.de for real-time changes.
Frankfurt Airport (Arrivals B/C) → Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
💡 If you're just crossing to the hotel, walk. The Steigenberger is directly connected to Terminal 1 via a covered walkway — taxis are wasted on that short hop unless you have heavy luggage. For longer trips, insist on metered fare.
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) → The Westin Grand Frankfurt (Konrad-Adenauer-Str. 7)
💡 Queue at the official taxi rank outside Arrivals B. Avoid touts inside who overcharge. Pay by card is fine, but confirm before starting the ride.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1 exit B or C) → Kennedy 89 - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt (Kennedyallee 89)
💡 Use the official taxi rank outside Terminal 1, Arrivals B or C – ignore any touts inside. Ask for a fixed price if traffic is heavy; otherwise, meter is fine. For return, book via Taxi Frankfurt app or call 069-545045 at least 15 mins ahead.
