Frank's Backpackers

The price is excellent for what you get and the owner, Frank, is very friendly and talkative. Also, it is 10 minutes away from the Helmond train stop, which is 10 minutes away from Eindhoven Central Station, so you can manage to be in Eindhoven in 20 minutes. I would recommend it for sure.

Maybe some areas could be a little cleaner, but I guess that the self-sufficiency style of the hostel implies that you are aware of that so that you manage to do it by yourself. If you don't like it, just go somewhere else (much more expensive).

First of all let me inform you that this is the best value for money that I have experienced so far in my travels. With that value comes an honourable contract with Frank that you will look after everything according to his specifications. If we all do our best to put everything back in its place of origin, keep the limescale and any other residues at bay by drying everything after we have used it, treating each other with respect and communication, anyone can enjoy immense value for money and learn from reciprocation and co-operation. It goes without saying that there are opportunities to meet lots of different people at a hostel and that's exactly what I was able to experience here. As many older and wiser people have told me before "Life is what you make of it." This is a prime example - put in a bit of conscientiousness and care and receive the same as well as incredible cost effective living that is mutually supportive (of course we can all make mistakes too, but it is the attitude of care that matters). Well done Frank! Keep going and I hope others will appreciate what you are offering. P.S. Your art in the hallway dispelled many of my otherwise occupied moments and made the stay very enjoyable too.

Nothing to say here really. It is an experience for particular people who are suited for this. When Frank emails you with guidelines about how it all works, you are getting exactly "What it says on the Tin." If you don't like it / or want it and the considerable benefits that it entails, then it is not for you.

- lockers and enough space for luggage - host is friendly and helps with anything - location is very convenient

- the place is quite dirty, there were spiderwebs and questionable spots in a lot of spaces, the shower curtain was moldy, and the general smell reminded me of a wet basement. Also, my bed had fingernail clips, hair, and dirt on it when I arrived... - I saw a rat running around the garden quite close to the dorm, which scared us to open the door to let fresh air in - personally, I was fine with it because my roommate were trustworthy, but the shower could not be locked, so be prepared - there was so soap or dishsoap around which was quite inconvenient

Good

I like the whole place and also the property owner was is a very nice person

I had a wonderful stay at Frank's Hostelle! The place is super clean, cozy, and beautifully designed. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. It really felt like a home away from home. I also appreciated the attention to detail and the peaceful vibe. Definitely one of the best hostels I've stayed at — I would absolutely come back!

Clan and peace full

Excelente ubicacion, alojamiento confortable y genial propietario que ayudo mucho y fue muy simpatico.

There's a really big space. Everything is provided to make you feel at home. Frank, the host is a very nice person. I reccommend this hostel to everyone who wants to stay with kind people in the Netherlands.
