I would have liked if there was a small gas stove to cook in the room. However I understand why not. Shower curtain can use some attention.

600m from train station. Central to all shops and restaurants. Bed is perfect for a 1.95m man. Super clean. Your own independence and chilled environment. Frank Is well educated on all that helmond has to offer and very helpful.

The rattling of the electric heater, cold in January.

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Curtains around the beds were nice addition.

Owner likes to message about every little thing. Someone complains about making noise while having to climb a ladder into bed then he emails. Ridiculous expectations like not drinking alcohol at all even if your in a completely different city to helmond. Owner gets annoyed if you come in and out of the flat at times which suit you aka travelling to Maastricht and getting back super late!

Location was close to train station was easy to use to get around brabant.

Nothing,when taking into account this is a concept that involves simple routines and agreements before being a guest.b

I did really love the location it was pretty close to the train station. I didnt see the staff cause I arived in evening and left early morning, but so far online the staff has been nice.

It was cheap and cheerful for the five nights. I would have liked if the fridge in the dorm actually worked as I had to use the fridge in the kitchen. I had a perfect stay during the 5 days as there was only one other person but in the summer when it gets busy, it would be great if there is an outside door in the shower as opposed to just two curtains, one for the shower and one entering the shower. I think for safety and peace of mind a door to the shower room would help.

I slept really well for the 5 nights, the area is super quiet and 12 minutes walk into helmond city and 12 minutes walk from the airport. The bed was comfortable, the shower was warm and the place was clean and affordable. There's also bikes available to rent which is good and a swimming pool close by which I used.

These are observations, not deal breakers. The configuration of the dorm doesn't make sense. The shower appears to be in a sort of kitchen. Where should you wash your hands after using the toilet? Big opening above toilet door. Lots of manky old 'left items' clutter up the place (free stuff). Empty left shampoo bottles in the shower (free stuff). I get the idea, but it doesn't add to comfort. Not sure why there's a mini fridge way up above the normal fridge.

The 'later than usual' check out time is a huge plus. It enabled me to return and have a shower after running the Eindhoven half marathon, before proceeding to the airport. Key code front door lock is convenient, cause you don't nee to carry around keys.. Hot shower. Lockers for valuables. Very convenient location. Less than 10min walk to the train and bus station. I was allocated a floor level bunk as requested. Handy alcove to put stuff next to bed. Bedside light plus power outlets conveniently next to the bed. I was alone in the dorm. Plenty of information was made available prior to my stay, including a video, so I knew exactly what to expect. Internet code provided in an email along with the door code, so you can connect from just outside the property if needed. This is handy, should there be any changes eg. door code, or dorm bed re-allocation. This shows that the host has considered those, like myself, who don't use roaming broadband. Most hosts don't consider such things, so Frank gets two thumbs up from me. Friendly host.

There was someone snoring very loudly during my stay, which isn't really Frank's fault but definitely a risk when staying in dorm rooms. I also found the blankets were a a lot too warm for the summer, but you should be able to replace them if desired.

It was a great way of helping internationals visit this lovely section of the Netherlands :) The dorm was reasonably clean and had all sorts of facilities, and the beds were comfortable. The place is near the train station which is very convenient if traveling to Eindhoven. I also found it really funny that one of the toilets was super high. It was like a "being short simulator". Definitely not a negative thing! But that's just a detail ;)

I really liked the atmosphere in Frank's hostel, everyone was nice and respectful of others. The house was really clean. Frank also let me borrow one of his bikes. Overall I had a really good time there, thank you Frank!

Stayed in November 2023

It is actually a small hostel, six beds in total. Most people stay here long, for work/studies and at the end it felt like home! The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. Good WiFi in the living room. Location: ideal, a short walk to the center of Helmond and the main Train station. And the "central" Bus station is next to the train station.. Price: so very good! Owner: he's a kind person, a tango dancer and a traveler, who tries his best to keep the place neat and tidy. He somehow has the "ability" to find the people who make every time a perfect team! It is really worth answering patiently Frank's questions after you've completed your booking :-)

The fairness of the owner and his generosity.

We loved that the hostel is a home with a little garden out the back. There is one bedroom with six beds, which means there isn't an overwhelming amount of people in the house, and we made good friends with the other guests. It's very peaceful inside and outside, and if you get a chance to talk to Frank, you'll have some interesting and deep conversations. The location was good too - on days where we didn't go into Eindhoven you can find a lot of shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants just a few streets away. There's also a lovely, small, old castle a 10-minute walk away. You can do tours or just take a seat in the park around it and enjoy the view. They sometimes have concerts there in the evenings too.

After i did not answer him 5 stupid questions within 24 houres, he let me wait the day i arrived at Eindhoven, to tell me he would not give me the code for the room, and After saing he would have give me back my Money, he refused, even if i never even entered his home

If anybody is allergic to down feather bedding - the pillows are from feathers, though the quilt was not!

Amazing owner Frank, thank you for nice conversation! I enjoyed the concept of cleaning up after yourself immediatelly, because it was clean all the time while we were staying. The lockers to leave your stuff in are extremely helpful and spacious too. We've had one of the coziest sleeps here! Overall it was a nice stay when we needed just a place to crash while exploring.
