Five Elements Hostel Frankfurt

The location of this hostel is TERRIBLE!! Super dangerous and in the “worst street in Germany”, complete mess. However, the staff were lovely (Aussie guy, super nice) and made me feel a-lot better about my stay. Not too bad of a hostel, no curtains and rustic building in a terrible loud location.

this is not safe at all for female travellers and the fact it is in the red light district needs to be much clearer, the area is extremely bad and when we checked into our room we were met by 5 old men (around 50 to 60 years old) staring right at us. please do not stay here as a female traveller.

The property and rooms themselves were clean and staff friendly enough. Free tea and coffee, and comfortable beds. Note to female solo travellers about location: although the hostel itself is good, the location really doesn't feel safe. I've travelled extensively and ignored the other reviews, but unfortunately felt very uncomfortable and unsafe here, speaking with other girls in the hostel, the feeling was shared :( They do make this clear in the description and it's unfortunate because the hos...

very good!

I will not be staying here again. I figured that the hostel being in the red light district wouldn't be a huge issue, however that was far from the case. The area all around the hostel is extremely sketchy with people up all times of the night yelling, sirens blaring, begging for money, etc. There is a buzzer on the hostel to get in thankfully. If you stay in a room that is facing the street, good luck sleeping, even in a pod room. Going off of that, there was a crazy person staying in my room w...

good bulding but you the sunrounds will be the walking dead series , for couple nights its okay

Very nice hostel, safe and pleasant inside. Just a small note that it’s not really recommended to go out at night.

Estuvo genial, el alojamiento, esta en un barrio peligroso pero por el precio el sitio en si es muy muy bueno :)

Infelizmente, este hostel tem um problema central que compromete completamente a experiência: A localização! Fica no meio de uma área bastante degradada do centro da cidade (a chamada Zona Vermelha), onde é comum ver prostituição, bordéis e pessoas em situação de dependência química, inclusive se injetando substâncias em plena via pública. Esse cenário se repete na estação central, nas ruas ao redor e até mesmo na porta do hostel (o dia todo, todos os dias), o que torna o ambi...

The hostel is in an excellent location - a street away from the central station. The staff is very polite, helpful and the ambience in the lobby area is amazing. There are a lot of people around and it is very easy to strike up fun conversations. My only gripe with the hostel was the room itself - the window and blinds were always closed (no matter the time of the day I went in), to the point that there was a very clear stench that just did not go away. It was slightly suffocating.

I waited one hour for check-in. I couldn't sleep the entire night. It was extremely loud and noisy outside. Drunk people were screaming and throwing glasses. The room itself was dirty. I have a dust allergy, and I can tell it was extremely dusty, and the bathroom was dirty

the area is not safe, but the hostel staff ensure that you are safe inside. the facilities are clean and the bunks are made well. the area brings down the atmosphere a lot because you are in the red light district. otherwise, if you can deal with that, it’s okay. i would not recommend it for women traveling alone.

I went to the hostel with very low expectations, as the location is probably one of the worst in Frankfurt. However, I must recognize that once inside the building, you dont realize where you are. Inside is just as any other hostel. I must also recognize that everything is very clean, even more than many other hostels. The staff also was very friendly. The only issue is probably that there was no hot water.

I always stay in this hostel when I come to Frankfurt.

the hostel Is located in a street full of drug addicts, theres people injecting heroin all day and all night in front of the Building. and at night when i asked if i could smile a cigarette in the back garden because I was afraid of all the junkies I was told i couldnt because the neighbours might complain. an hostel that cares more about neighbours complains than its guests safety Is the worst kind of hostel you can find.

Quartier très insecuritaire.

The hostel itself was very nice. The rooms and facilities were clean, and every bunk had access to individual power outlets! Staff were really nice as well. The location is great if all you need is quick access to the main train station (two minutes away and a super easy walk!), but the area is a bit intense other than that.

Great place to stay at with good initiatives from the staff members in regard to deals at the bar / reception.

Good hostel, pretty clean, neighborhood sketchy but not so much that I was fearing. Have to know for female travelers that something like 75% of customers are men. If you book in a mixed dorm, you’ll probably be the only girl in the room (like me). Also there’s a lie on the description : breakfast is 9€, not 6,5€. And it doesn’t worth it. Staff quite nice. In conclusion I think it’s a nice place to stay. And I met very nice people.
