Five Elements Hostel Frankfurt Reviews

Good location, near the main station, friendly staff, recommend

Only downside is the fact that the hostel is located in a neighbourhood where hard drugs are being used on the street day and night.

Nice team; nice lounge with people every hour ;) Loads of activities possible...

The location may be in a bit of a sketchy area, but the hostel itself is great. Friendly staff, clean rooms, nice showers, and close to the train station. This was my third time staying there, and will stay again if I'm ever back in Frankfurt.

If you don't mind staying in the red light district, then there is no fault in this wonderful hostel.

Unfortunately they dont seem to have any kind of ventilation, so it get HOT! (and its only spring). Other than this though, it was a very good stay. Didnt mind that its in the middle of the red light district.

Used it as a base before flying out of the country. Was pefect for that, clean, close to train station and supermarket. Stayed on top floor and internet wasn't great up there. Kitchen was great and handy. Only complaint was they didnt have a few things to loan or purchase which they said was available and bathrooms weren't cleaned 3 times a day as claimed, but no biggie really. Great stay overall.

Location is at the RLD as stated. Here, you will see junkies, pimps, cabaret owners and all sorts of people (whores and probably Albanians mafia). It is not advisable to go out at night which you see gangs of people loitering around. However, security of the hostel is excellent which requires u to pass thru 2 gates with ID. Internet can be accessed in the rooms. It is very near the main train station and within walking distance to the skyscrapers and shopping belts of Frankfurt.

Possibly one of the best hostels I've stayed in. The location in the red light district didn't have any effect on my stay. They have very good security there. The beds were super comfortable, and I loved the shower. I found one particular staff member quite rude one day, apart from her everything else was fine. Guy who checked me in (don't know name, I Love Bondi shirt) was very friendly and went out of his way to help with city information. A definite place you should stay in Frankfurt.

As long as you can deal with wading through the Red Light District, a really descent stay.

Everthing great, good free tours going on. The outside street area a red light district.

The staff were very well informed and answered all questions on where things wre and how toget to places.

It was a good hostel, close to the train station (also in red light district, but was fine). Everything was new and clean. There were also great facilities in the first and lower floors. Overall a good place to stay. I would stay again.

It would be great if at least one chair appears in the rooms.

A great place! Very clean (except the floor in our room). The staff is very friendly.

This is a really good hostel. The staff are very helpful and engaging, the atmosphere is great for meeting people and the location is great. I'm a female runner and I had no concerns going out running alone from and to the hostel at night.

best hostel we've stayed at yet. Great atmosphere and plent of activities.

Stayed on a somewhat quiet Sunday but still had fun hanging at the hostel

not for the faint at heart. the area is quite diverse. awesome staff. would stay again

Just one little annoying thing: please fix the trouble with the keycard this is annoying esp. when I come from the toilet in the middle of the night and go back to my room I have to go down to the reception again the get my keycard activated again. But apart from that everything is very good =) Thank you.
