The hostel itself is decent but it's located in the worst part of Frankfurt, full of d*** users, prostitutes and homeless people all around. It felt extremely unsafe to get to/leave the hostel, specially at night.

Good enough for the price and a short stay. The common living room is spacious and pleasant to relax. A great asset is the proximity to the main train station (300m). However, as explicitly indicated in the official description, the hostel is located right in the middle of the red district, therefore it may not be the perfect hostel for those looking for conventional surroundings.

Estuve 2 noches en las capsulas, cumplio con la funcion, pero la ventilación es muy mala, tuve que dejar la puerta abierta porque era sofocante el calor, y por lo demás es un hostal. Lleven candado

Used to be good 5 ..8 years ago (despite the disgusting area it is located in - be super careful!), but terrible nowadays. Super rundown, terribly maintained. I had a double room and it was really poor. Cannot imagine how terrible the dorms must be. In addition, lots of hidden cost including charging for bed sheets….

I booked an affordable private solo room with a shared bathroom (around €27). I landed early in Frankfurt and arrived at the hostel at 9 am to check in or leave my baggage at their storage or have a (free) tea in the lounge.
I asked for an early check in if the room was available. After a 15 min wait, I was given the keys to the 7 Floor room. The room was actually bigger and with 2 single beds and a big TV with Netflix. It was surprisingly bigger than expected. There was a shared kitchen and several bathrooms/showers for the entire 7th floor. It flet like I was in my own apartment and barely met other guests

The hostel is in the middle of Red district area, which is dangerous. Nevertheless, I didn't face any danger during my stay. Rooms are very small for the amount of people that are inside, so we should open the window 24/7 for fresh air during the whole day. As a consequence there was much noise during the night, I couldn't sleep at all. Furthermore, the beds were old and when someone sleeping changed position the whole bed was moving. general the hostel was clean and the stuff very helpful.

Very kind people! I forgot my glasses in the room and had already left Germany, but they were so helpful and sent them to me in France. The room was also excellent, with a good price and a very nice shower. Thank you for everything. I’ll definitely come back if I visit Frankfurt again!

The employees at this hostel are super and work very hard to accommodate alot of people and keep the place clean. You cannot really lockup your stuff, they have a communal locker below that you can put stuff in and add a lock and chain. Also you have a mid size locker in the room but it has no lock on it. I kept all important things very close with me. Like I said before the staff really work to keep the place clean but with so many travelers the bathrooms and floors in the rooms can be messy.

There is too much noise at night. The furniture and overall room conditions, including bathroom cleanliness, are very poor compared to the price of the hostel. Also, a lot of people who seem to be using d**** often hang around the hostel’s main entrance, which feels unsafe.

Super noisy during the night, even with windows closed, you could hear so many noises even on the 5th floor! I did not feel safe in the neighborhood... Also compared to other hostels, I would give lower rates for facilities... also rooms felt a bit old and not that clean ...

The facility and the staff were great! There’s not much anyone can do about the characters that hang out in the red light district but as a solo female, I didn’t find anyone to be menacing or harassing. The staff highly prioritizes security of the facility! The location was great otherwise to explore the city. There was lots of information and social opportunities provided by the hostel that were much appreciated and enjoyed!

A equipe é maravilhosa, o que me incomodou foram alguns hóspedes estranhos, teve um momento que um homem que parecia viver na rua entrou no hostel e foi tomar o chá gratis, isso me incomodou bastante. Meu quarto não estava limpo, largaram uma banana no armário e de noite o cheiro estava péssimo. As camas fechadas são muito abafadas. Tem apenas dois chuveiros para 7 quartos, achei pouco tbm. Não sei se voltaria para esse hostel.

My only real complaint is the lack of privacy curtains. Top 5 for BEST STAFF! Red Light district but safe with constant police presence & video surveillance. Vending machine, maps, free tea & coffee. It's my go to for Frankfurt minutes from the Main Hbf. I recommend & would absolutely be staying again. Enjoy!

Was a bit scared of the neighborhood, strange people and red light buildings around but nothing happened. Inside the hostel was weary cosy,I arrived on Monday night when they serve free pancakes, that saved me after long day. Nice stuff, very close to the train station, a bit unsafe at night but the atmosphere inside compensated. Also free coffee and tea is very welcoming??

First of all, the hostel is located in a really bad area full of homeless people, and it's kind of dangerous. The second thing is when i arrive , I get to wait half an hour over the suppose check-in time because the rooms are not ready, plus the check-in time is at 4 PM, which this the first time i see check-in at 4PM also the lady at the reception she was rude I was talking to her and complaining regarding the delay in check-in she started to laugh it's like some joke to her then she just ignored me totally.
I don't recommend this hostel at all

Every thing was great. Even though the hostel was located in the red light district, it was only 2 blocks away from the very nice neighborhoods with a ton of restaurants ,shops .. also close to the train/bus station. Great staff. And free coffee.

Near the hbf train station, airport, and the city. The location is great, as long as you understand it also places you in the red light district. You’re not far from the major things in the city. When I stayed, the atmosphere was very quiet, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t strike up a conversation. The sheets like most hostels are not comfortable, the beds are good enough. They have a great system of storing and protecting your items, and they have unlimited breakfast at a reasonable price.

The area does not help but the security makes the hostel feel a lot safer. Not sure if it was just the floor I was staying on but the showers were rather revealing if someone was in the one next to you… definitely no sense of privacy.

The rooms and bathrooms were clean.
I had both nice and unpleasant interactions, with the staff and the guests. I liked the staff member that worked the night I stayed. He was cool and put on some good music in the lounge. The location though! It's so shady. I walked in the late afternoon at I was so scared.

The hostel is well secured, the staff are friendly and the prices are affordable. The common areas are nice (with coffee and tea available).
But it’s true that the big black spot is the location... near the station but with a rather oppressive atmosphere outside at the end of the day.
And then some taxes such as sheets, which are not mentioned and must be paid in addition on arrival...
For a short stay, it is satisfactory

Das Five Elements ist ein Sehr freundliches und offenes Hostel mit hoher Sauberkeit. Die Leute sind super freundlich und der Service lässt auch nichts zu wünschen übrig. Das einzige was mir noch etwas gefehlt hat, sind Vorhänge vor den Betten, aber das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau. Alles andere ist super. Das Hostel liegt leider im Rotlichtviertel, aber dafür ist es nur 5 Minuten vom Bahnhof entfernt und drinnen bekommt man davon auch nichts mit.

Inside the hostel is good, it's the outside that's scary. Do your best to be inside before it gets dark. It is close to the main station, but there are many drunk and high people in the area at night and some still during the day.
I stayed in an all female room, and for how soon I booked beforehand it was quite a good price (14€ a night). Also loved the 2x1 happy hour and free coffee!

It's an economic place to stay near the train station. The beds and general arrangements are pretty standard, nothing extraordinary. But they have €5 of mandatory fees that they take in cash, and another €7 in deposit (including the towel). Check-in is at 4pm which is a little late.
The location is quite dodgy. A lot of people looking like junkies even during the day, doesn't feel safe.
The Wi-Fi was a lot better in the common area than in the room, it's a little spotty at times up there.
I stayed in a dormitory and there's a guy who had a deafening snore and would basically shout at any disruption himself such as when he turned around with a bad back.

De mis mejores estancias la pase aquí. El personal fue muy amable y ayudaron mucho, los servicios adicionales como cena y estación de café fueron increíbles. El cuarto es muy espacioso y cómodo. Solo mejoraría la recepción del wifi en la habitación. Es una pena que quede en una mala zona. Es bueno que quienes van con familias o viajan solos lo sepan, afortunadamente nada sucedió.

Ein einfaches Hostel mit sehr nettem Personal und einem guten Frühstücksangebot. Die Ausstattung ist ausreichend, aber nichts besonderes. Die Lage ist einerseits gut, weil nah am Bahnhof, andererseits fühlt man sich nicht besonders wohl in der Gegend. Das liegt nicht am Hostel, sondern eher am Frankfurter Bahnhofsviertel. Insgesamt eine ordentliche Adresse beispielsweise für einen Transfer zum Flughafen.

I had booked a single room equipped with own bathroom and kitchen for one night along with the complimentary breakfast facility for the next day. The room was clean, hygienic and well-maintained. The location is just 5 mins walk from the Frankfurt Main Hauptbahnhof which is a very big advantage. The hostel is also very safe with good security of doors and maindoors.
The staff were friendly and kind. The staff at the reception was kind enough to arrange a person who helped me take my luggage and dropped me till the platform on which my train was arriving. Truly grateful for their help.
Definitely recommending a stay here.

I enjoyed this hostel. Great vibes, quite clean, and surprisingly quiet in the rooms. I am a solo female traveler and did not find the area to be too concerning, as other reviews suggest, though I come from a city with a decent sized homeless population, so my standards may be different. Two things I found slightly frustrating were that paying for bedsheets did not include a towel (needed a seperate deposit), and the showers did not provide soap.

The location was awful and terrifying! The street is full of sex hotels and strip clubs- I dont know how no one made a comment about this already. As a woman traveling by myself, I felt like the street was incredibly dangerous. You could not be outside at night. 0/10 for the location. It is a shame because the staff was nice. I cut my stay short because of how scary it was

We booked a private room with bathroom. The bathrooms smells very stong, so does the corridors where the communal bathrooms is.
Moreover they was hair in the shower right after we checked in, which was obviously not ours. The location in quiet uncomfortable for young people and unsafe especially for young women. The hostel is based right next to a brothel and casino. To enter the stairway to your room, you’ll have to contact reception to open in anytime, a bit uncomfortable but good for safety.

sehr nette Mitarbeitende, Frühstücksbuffet für 7,50 und saubere praktische und schöne Sanitärräume. 5 min zu Fuss zum Bahnhof ist sehr praktisch. Die Stimmung draussen: sozialer Brennpunkt, drinnen sehr sicheres Gefühl.
