Five Elements Hostel

Don't write so much reviews, but this time I will. I namely forgot some clothes in the washing machine when I left. Then asked if they could send them back and they did. My clothes arrived at home earlier than myself, so big thanks for that :) Then about the hostel itself, there is a really good atmosphere, nice personnel and even a proper, free dinner, all for a good price. The neighbourhood is indeed a bit sketchy, but I didn't feel unsafe. Definitely recommend if you don't mind the location!

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.

Although the location of the hostel (near the central station and the city center) appeared to be perfect when booking the hostel it turned out badly. The area near the station in Frankfurt is a really bad one, feels dangerous and has a lot of addicts around. Our room was facing the street were they were partying till 9am in the morning, we could sleep but only with the window closed. The hostel itself was nice and clean, and the staff very nice.

Very direct staff, situated in the most horrible street for d*** use and crime. If that’s your thing, you’ll enjoy yourself. You get what you pay for and don’t think you can get sleep here. The noise is truly unbearable. I’d actually never use this place again.

Unable to check in until 4pm!! We were tired after coming off a night flight. Used the couches while waiting and ended up with horrendous bites which became pussey over my back, neck, legs, face and arms!! There were insects flying around downstairs over the couches in the luggage storage!! Air con needs instructions. Breakfast sat out uncovered !! Druggies lined the footpaths just metres from the hotel. Good points.... room was clean and location to train station

Overall the hostel is fine, i was shocked by the amount of drug users at the front. Now usually the don’t do anything but the sights aren’t nice

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.

El barrio es terrible, no tienen aire acondicionado, para entrar debes cruzar 3 puertas y esperar que te abran, las cajas para guardar las maletas son muy incómodas

Great hostel with nice bar and lounge. There's a pool table, a TV and a kitchen. Extremely friendly staff. They even gave us a meal in the evening. Rooms and toilets were clean but a bit smelly. Location is terrible, you see people doing d**** outside in the middle of the day. For that reason I would probably not stay again. Not because of anything with the hostel.

excellent place to stay in Frankfurt. Very good location.

After one night there I got around 10 bites from bed bugs. I had a private room.

Hostel is an oasis in a shockingly drug-addled and filthy neighbourhood. Clean, comfortable and vibey - it's great. They provide free dinner at 8 for about 25 people so be there early. The kitchen and laundry are in the same tiny and grotty room - is the pool table really necessary? I would suggest improving this part of the hostel. Staff are nice - great that there's a bar. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

Super fantastic hostel, the free dinner was really good every night and was a great way too meet people. The pool table and common area were great as well. Some people may not like the location but I thought it was great

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!
