Five Elements Hostel

I recently stayed at Five Elements Hostel in Frankfurt and had a great experience. Despite concerns about the red light area, I felt completely safe, thanks to the excellent security—no strangers can enter. I stayed in a private room, which was clean and comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly, always smiling and ready to help. Prices were very affordable, offering great value for money. Overall, I recommend Five Elements Hostel for anyone seeking a budget-friendly and secure accomodation.

Right after booking they send you this by mail: "We're in the middle of the red light district. If that bothers you, you can cancel for a 1 night fee." I was staying one night, could've put that on your website before booking if you weren't as deceptive. At night, there's drunks on the streets, broken glass on the ground. We were legit scared walking there. Mattresses and sheets were stained. The price isn't even an excuse, for the same price you have a clean space and personal utilities at the Generator in Hamburg, for example. Also, some people seem to use their bed as a long-term place to stay, entering at 5AM with the full lights on, or talking on the phone.

Booked this hostel due to it's distance from the Hbf but the location is really bad, the streets are filled with mad crazy people, felt really unsafe. And the lady at the reception is really rude and unfriendly. They charged us money for key deposit+ tourist tax + bedsheet deposit, apart from the hotel bookings and when we ask them to clarify, they are really rude.

This is the worst experience I had so far in any hostel, and I've been to many. It feels like a prison. The women at the reception were very rude, after I checked in I was going from the lobby to my room. And before I got to the elevator the asian girl at the reception screamed 'HEY, were are you going?' I said to my room and showed her my key. Then she started to interrogate me in the same tone. I will never accept to be trated like that, I expect nothing less than be treated with respect

Sitio bien centralizado. Llenó mis espectativas

Extremely expensive for that quality

I had to spend one night after alate flight in and left the next morning on a train out of Frankfurt. The facility and staff were very nice. However the place is not very clean. Also the location is super close to the train station which is handy but the street is full of drunks and has an unpleasant vibe. I don’t recommend sleeping in that area specially on a weekend.

The hostel is very close to trainstation but the district where u have this hostel its full with junkies and brothels so case of safety is really shady right here Another big minus they told me that I have to pay 3 euros more for bedsheets and its not written on website so they are basicly a s******s because besides that u have to pay aleo for a city tax so add in the summom (with the bed sheets) 5 euros in final. S******s and no air conditioning but they let u to use common room after check out
