Five Elements Hostel

Nice hostel, nice staff, including one who speaks Portuguese, a good atmosphere with a bar on site, free coffee and tea, very good

I booked a private room with bathroom and my stay went very well The room was clean and quite spacious Regarding the location it is true that it is not the best area of the city but the entrance is well secured I am a girl and I did not have any problems in the street. However, I do not recommend arriving too late The staff speaks very good English and was very friendly! I really appreciated their kindness The value for money is really good!

The street it's on is a bit dangerous, with homeless people and drug users. Inside, it's very safe, with a quiet atmosphere, and the breakfast is good. The beds in the rooms should have curtains for more privacy. It's very close to the central station, making it easy to take the train and metro. The bridge and Frankfurt's old streets are easily accessible on foot.

Very friendly staff, clean room and shared bathrooms. The only downside is the location: certainly close to the station but in an unwelcoming area. However, it was a very good experience :)

Not much to say about the rooms typical hostel 2 bunk beds and the rest shared. Service sensations available and very friendly, they also have a 24 hour reception service. Big downside is the neighborhood, which is the red light district, so at night I do not recommend walking around. But apart from this if you want and you do not have problems with the neighborhood, it is a great place to spend a night.

Overall a good experience. Service was good. Breakfast was good. The rooms were clean. The reason for 4 stars was the location was not good at all, despite being close to the train station it is in the red light district and very noisy. The rooms windows close and block out noise but there is no AC so it was very hot. It did not have a welcome homely feeling but overall a very good hostel.

When it comes to good experiences, we always need to share them with other people. So, I have to say that the 5 Elements Hostel was one of those excellent experiences. Firstly, because the atmosphere is pleasant, with people from many countries and you have the chance to learn other languages and cultures if you want to chat with someone. Everyone there is in the same situation as you. Secondly, the people who work there are incredible. I met Patrícia and Yusi on the night shift. They speak English, German, Spanish, French and even Portuguese. That's why you feel comfortable with the service. I also met a Brazilian who helped me in the morning and he speaks at least 3 languages. You won't have any trouble communicating. And the breakfast was great, tasty and cheap. It has everything you need. The only thing you need to be careful about is the area where it is located, especially at night. Naturally, since it is close to the Bahnhof, thousands of people pass by and many have other intentions, such as wanting your cell phone or your money. So be careful, don't neglect your things and go straight to the 5 Elements Hostel. This way you will be safer and surrounded by friendly people. Thank you Patrícia and Yusi. Marcelo, the Brazilian.

Very good experience, we went as a couple and stayed in a private room, with views of the atmosphere of the red light district xD The staff is super friendly and attentive, practically everyone speaks Spanish, so you will have no problem communicating, The Hostel has measures security to deter criminals, so rest assured. There is breakfast in the mornings and the living room is great to meet other people, have a few beers or spend time reading if you prefer. We loved the location, since it was next to the center and you could walk everywhere, super close to the central station if you are coming from the airport, the best option to stay.

I was super happy with my stay here. Price performance was top. Super friendly staff. The breakfast was also very tasty. Rooms very clean plus my highlight a rain shower in the bathroom. I felt very comfortable and will definitely come back next time I'm in Frankfurt.

I have stayed here several times in a shared room. A few years ago it was even better that the beds were already made and you didn't have to make the bed yourself in the middle of the night. Firstly, it disturbs the others in the room and secondly, it is unhygienic. Many people, for cultural reasons and lack of knowledge, are unable to cope with bed linen and therefore often leave it out altogether. It is best to wear bathing shoes when using the ladders on the bunk beds, otherwise it can be very painful to use. The lobby downstairs is very cozy. And the breakfast is good. Here you constantly have the train station clientele of drug addicts and prostitutes walking past outside. But apparently the police are still safe. A bit like reality TV. The staff is very friendly, but often doesn't speak German.

I had a great time. I found a very clean and welcoming environment.

Lovely staff here. They are happy to help with anything and try their hardest to make sure you have a pleasant stay. Ithe rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. There is a nice communal area for other travellers to meet and relax. It is a little noisy from the people and clubs around, but if that doesn't bother you too much, it is a perfect place to stay.

Very well located, 2' from the central station. There are supermarkets, places to eat and bars nearby. Very comfortable bed, excellent cleanliness and friendly staff :) we spent several hours in the common room, used plugs, drank free coffee and tea! The only thing against the area is located in the red zone, but it doesn't represent that much danger, because everyone is on their own! Recommended 🤙🏼

The hostel is amazing. I was surprised because it has a very good price for the location, so I wasn't expecting much, but the hostel is very nice, comfortable, clean, it is very well equiped. There is free warm tea and coffee any time you want. You have lamps and electricity plugs next to each bed, and a locker for your bag or your valuables. The staff is super nice and helpful. They give you a towel. The bar and entertainment area are really cool, with pool table, football table and TV. They also have a vending machine with any bathroom essentials you might be missing. Only cons is that you can hear a lot of noise from the street while you sleep, but this is normal because of the area. They should sell earplugs in their vending machine.

The receptionists were friendly and attentive. On the night I was there, a delicious dinner was served. I was struck by the vases of fresh flowers and the bathroom, which was impeccably clean. It is very close to the central station, very close indeed, but the area is full of drug users. Frankfurt's Crackland.

Great place to spend a night or more, the bed linen with 500 thread count white sheets, the only thing we should put on is the sheet and pillowcases. Breakfast was the biggest surprise, fresh, cold cuts, 3 types of cheese, jams, yogurt, granola, coffee, tea, milk, chocolate, everything delicious, great value for money for 22 euros per stay.

Excellent hostel, comfortable, I got a room with 3 people and a private bathroom, it was the best choice. The receptionists are great and helpful. The location is good because it is close to the central station, however, it is a prostitution area at night. I was alone and went out at night to buy something, and nothing happened. In addition, the reception is open 24 hours.

hostel located in the center of Frankoforte a stone's throw from the central station, very welcoming staff as welcoming are the rooms which are very clean. There is a large hall where you can relax while reading, drinking something at the bar or being in company, it is also possible to use billiards, table football and playstation. The only flaw for the neighborhood a bit dangerous in the evening.
