Hostel Five Elements Hostel Frankfurt

Moselstraße 40, Bahnhofsviertel, 60329 Frankfurt, Germany – Good location – show map – Subway Access

Super Clean, good facilities, good breakfast (considering it’s a hostel) and location.

Alhamzeh

Sweden

First time I saw free coffee and tea at at a hostel 24/7. The happy hour with double drinks is real, no tricky deal. The normal prices for drinks were acceptable and also you can drink at any time and use the lobby. So it's great for hanging out with people you met at the hostel. I was very glad also to find out there was a free breakfast included which I also really liked. I also liked that they have an out door area with tables. Very good location for those wanting to take the subway, flixbus or trains.
