As a rule German hostels are comfy, clean and friendly and this is no exception. As a young person interrailing in a group, it was nice to see staff putting on nightly events like fifa tournaments, films, crepes etc. Breakfast was of good quality and the dining benches/sofas made it a very social experience. Fast wifi, secure storage and generally... More

This was the last place I stayed on a trip around Europe and I had a great time. I did have to wait a little longer than I would have liked to go up to my room, which was nice but not very well lit. Decent beds with handy storage underneath. Most of my roommates were great, but it felt... More

I stayed in Five Elements for a few nights before moving into my flat in Germany. I traveled as a lone female, and although the hostel is located in the red light district - it wasn't too bad. There are a few shady characters around, but nothing overly intimidating. The hostel is a stones throw away from the main station... More

We stayed in the separate building, where we had our own 8 people apartment, which i believe is the superior rooms. The place was large, and clean, with good facilities. The shower guard (curtain) was broken, and so you could not have a shower without wetting the whole bathroom, and both the bath and sink basin had drainage problems; the... More

Even though in the middle of the Red Light Zone of the City, it´s an amazing place .... Staff very helpful and friendly, extremelly clean place, the bar you have some options of drinks and have a good place for social with other guests ... And is extremely near from the Hauptbanhof ... I´ve already been sometimes in Frankfurt, and... More

The hostel has a great location, 5 minutes walking distance from the Hauptbahnhof. It definitely is in the red light district, so this may deter some people, but I didn't see it as a problem. The staff was all friendly and helpful. They have a bar manned by reception 24/7. There are free laptops for checkout and free Wi-Fi. Everything... More

This hostel is really very good. Well placed, clean, next to the main station, but it's in the red light district. It can be a problem for families. I just recommend it for younger people. It's 20 minutos from the airport.

I stopped here in June 2011 for a single night. I came with a few friends and we booked a room. The rooms were clean and tidy. The showers also. The people were friendly and the benefit of bringing beers into the main area to drink made it a convenient place to stay. I read before I went about the... More

I stayed here for two nights. The facilities are very clean & modern. The staff is very helpful and prices reasonable. They have lockers downstairs to lock your stuff before checkin, and upstairs they have lockers under the beds. Very impressed overall. The only downside is that the area is in the red light district--didn't feel unsafe, but wasn't that... More
