Five Elements Hostel

The hostel is well located in city center. It's around five minutes walk from the central station. However, the neighborhood does not look like the safest. Take care for late night commute. The hostel staff were freindly and helpful. A tiny kitchen, pool table and a tv to have fun with your travel company. I was in a four bed room and I didn't like the look. It was practical for sure, but some colors on the wall will make it more fun and lovely.

Everything was good except the location. Friendly staff, and very kind. I tried using my razor and power was out in my private room. I let them know this upon checking out and they were very understanding and even apologized for not having power. Also, I booked a 3 bed shared room and they upgraded me to a 2 bed private. Don’t know if this was deliberate or not but still I appreciate it. Location is in red district, a bit noisy because of construction in front of the hostel but other than that.

Very good hostel, and very good service, people working here are very lively, patient and kind! The only big inconvenience is that it’s placed in the red light district, with drunk and (sometimes) violent people on the street making a lot of noises. For a girl like me it was really scary and uncomfortable to go out of the hostel, even during the day. Hopefully the structure is safe enough so no undesired people can enter the building.

close to train station and surrounding neighborhood, good facilities, and the staff were pretty helpful

A welcoming hostel with lots of facilities available, free breakfast as well! We enjoyed the warm hospitality of the staff, the rooms were clean and the lockers were a great size. We could fit both of our backpacks into one locker. The location is a little worrying at night, so take care when walking to and from the hostel. It’s a few minutes walk until you’re in the more pleasant areas. The location is great, but the street is terrible. The hostel shouldn’t be down rated for the red light district in which it stands. Thank you for your hospitality Five Elements!

Nice atmosphere. The location is great, near the station and the financial district. The neighborhood is not nice, but in less then 1 minute of walking you are in the financial district. Stunning view from our room!

As two girls, traveling alone, we felt super safe and welcome in the hostel! It’s a really nice place to meet people at the bar and also to stay for a few nights. Sure, the area is a bit shady, but for us it was totally ok :)

le stanze sono ampie e comode, alcune con angolo cottura. Ostello accogliente e in posizione molto centrale, si arriva a piedi dalla stazione. Unica problematica è che si trova in una zona poco raccomandabile, meglio evitare di arrivarci la sera tardi.

The location is in the middle of red light district, there were many weird people around the district, no matter in the morning or at night. As a female solo traveler, I felt unsafe, even though it was only a 5 minute walk from Frankfurt Main Train Station. And the noise of the area at midnight was unbearable, there were people shouting and throwing bottles outside, while it was also stuffy in the room, so I had choice but leave the windows open. Besides, in summer, there was only one fan for a whole room. They provide free dinner at 8 pm, and free coffee and tea all day.
