Reviews of Five Elements Hostel Frankfurt

06 August 2011 David would recommend this property

Liked: Free lockers, but had to pay a deposit for the lock.

Disliked: Had to pay a deposit for bed sheets and locker. Breakfast was expensive (4 euros) and poor (bread and cereal), but we got it for free because they compensated us for not being able to give us a key.

01 August 2011 Thomas would recommend this property

Liked: Fun hostel atmosphere, plenty of things to entertain yourself if you feel like a night in, and plenty to do in the area (other than the whores in the red light district).

Disliked: Demanded passports as deposit for the iron and for laptops. Nothing is more important than your passport when travelling and it is unreasonable to expect people to trust a total stranger with its safe-keeping and prompt return upon request.

29 July 2011 Jason would recommend this property

Liked: Pretty good location within walking distance of nearly entire city. Access to train station. Friendly, helpful staff. Easy to meet other travellers in excellent gathering area. Tons of amenities offered.

Disliked: Rooms lacked furniture besides beds. Rooms lacked character. Under-bed lockers not the most accessible. Wish there were more rooms with bathrooms, though the dorm style bathrooms were always clean.

28 July 2011 Mason would recommend this property

Liked: The staff is awesome. They're all very friendly and helpful. Some people might complain about the location, but they make it very clear that it's in the red light district. I never felt threatened walking around outside the hostel.

Disliked: Nothing really to complain about. Again, it's located in the Red Light district, so that might be a negative for some people, but I didn't mind.

27 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Free WiFi, nice common room, decent breakfast for a decent price (3 €), clean rooms and bathrooms, friendly staff, free tea and coffee, very close to Hauptbahnhof, fantastic "theme nights" (when I was there they had a free tour night and free pasta night).

Disliked: Maybe not enough toilets/showers per floor, but at least they're cleaned 3x a day. Seedy location. Squeaky bunk bed. Also lockers under beds made a lot of noise.

19 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This is one of the cleanest hostels I've ever stayed in! The shower was great, and the hallways were very quiet, so it made for good sleeping. The staff were really helpful with suggestions, directions and advice.

Disliked: As a single woman, I didn't feel particularly safe walking home at night on my own because of the district. BUT, I did know that in advance, and felt prepared for it.
