Overall one of the worst hostels I've been, the rooms felt very cheap, everything felt very "Minimum", as bare as cost would allow, while not being necessarily cheap. Had the unfortunate event of sharing the room with some really "unpleasant" people, and was yet unable to change rooms or have the staff address it directly. The toilets and room were very basic, the WiFi was basically non existent, and for some reason even my German data plan didn't work inside the building. Would not recommend.

Für etwa 10 Euro pro Nacht war es ganz in Ordnung, ich hatte nur ein bisschen Pech mit meinen Mitbewohnern. Es ist auch nicht ein soziales Hostel und die meisten Reisende sind älter.

Very nice location and atmosohere. The staf seamed a bit tired. Very nice breakfast and clean room. Didnt sleep so well because of noise from the hallway/yard ( had to open the windows beauae if warm weather) and a very bad madress.

Everything was kept clean, every worker there was kind and helpful. Rooms were clean. If it was an electrolyte packet when sick or a good late night conversation Five Elements went above and beyond

Wenig Internetverbindung in der Kapsel (Mobile Daten und WLAN) möglich, Rezeption war ca 20 Minuten nicht besetzt während der Barbetrieb weiterlief und sanitäre Anlagen an dem Kapsel-Schlafsaal nicht ausreichend vorhanden. An sich handelt es sich bei den Kapseln um einen sehr einfachen und spärlichen Billigbau mit lauter Lüftung und kaum Geräuschisolation. Der Gewinn zum Schlafsaal ist lediglich die Privatsphäre. Insgesamt preislich trotzdem top, deswegen die gute Bewertung.

comfortable,spacious and clean rooms near a lot of bars and restaurants. it's a 10 minute walk from the main station and the sights in the old town. no aircon in the rooms, so you have to leave the window open but since it's a busy quarter, it's pretty loud outside. not really a social hostel- there's a hostel bar but not many people hang out there. but i enjoyed my stay and would choose this hostel again.

One of the best hostels in Germany . Have been to five elements in frankfurt. The atmosphere is superb and staff were also super friendly. Eventhough so many restaurants are nearby, lack of a proper bar and restaurant missing. The location is only nearby to the Markt, very accessible

When I checked in , the Receptionist put me to pay more than I should (Deposit I already payed to Hostelworld when I made reservations) There is no Air Conditioning, and outside it was 40 degrees Celsius.

I had the penthouse room, which came with a private bed and bath and a shared kitchen, living area, and rooftop terrace. It was amazing and I wish I could have stayed longer. Although, the rooms are not air conditioned and they do not have fans available at all (for rent or free). So it was very hot during the heat wave. Other than that, this is an excellent hostel and has been the cleanest one I have stayed in during my entire time in Europe.

Die Lage des Hostels war super und die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich. Allerdings war die Ausstattung nicht das gelbe vom Ei. Es gab eine Toilette auf dem Zimmer (8-Personen) und nur eine öffentliche auf der Etage, demnach waren diese oft verdreckt oder Dauerbesetzt. Die Betten mussten selbst bezogen werden (was auf einem Etagen-Bett ein sehr frustrierendes Unterfangen sein kann) und es gab kaum Ablageplatz. Wäre normalerweise nicht so dramatisch, aber bei den Preisen hatte ich mehr erwartet

Danke, ich fand die Kapseln grundsätzlich super von der Funktionalität, Licht, Lademöglichkeit, Spiegel, Türöffner etc. Sehr nettes & überaus hilfsbereites, kompetentes Personal! Auch die anderen Gäste waren sehr nett und offen. Die Schallisolierung ist leider echt dürftig, aber vor allem hat mich leider gestört, das es für 32 Kapseln naheliegend (je nach Kapsel 10-20 m entfernt) nur 1 einzelne Toilette gab. Das ist leider zu wenig- auch wenn weitere im Flur vorhanden waren.

The capsules aren't soundproof at all, and there's very little light inside. Also, there is only one toilet in the capsule room. The showers aren't in the best condition-there is mold on the ceiling because of ventilation problems, and there is no soap or even no soap holders to put your stuff on. The vibes were quite boring, with no organized activities, and the people I've met didn't want to talk at all (but of course, that's not the hostel's fault). Perfect location and friendly staff, though

The capsules are huge and I felt very comfortable and at home. Staff were lovely and the value for money is brilliant. Some slight drawbacks - could do with more toilets and shower facilities, it’s a real maze to find your way around, the lounge isn’t very lounge-like, breakfast was quite confusing as to what you are / aren’t allowed to use if you have your own food. Minor gripes though, overall it’s brilliant.

Kein Hostel, sondern ein Hotel. Super viele Familien und Rentner, aber keine Backpacker. Das Frühstück kostet 10€ und erinnert an ein DDR Jugendherbergsfrühstück. Nachdem Checkout war es nicht mal mehr möglich sich in der Küche eine Wasserflasche aufzufüllen. Alles sehr eigenartig! Die Lage ist top und preislich ist es soweit auch okay, aber halt ansonsten sehr komisch.

Very nice place, great location and helpful staff, but keep in mind that the capsule room with 50+ beds has only 1 toilet that needs to be shared among the guests.

Es scheint, dass es sehr einfach ist, die Polizei zu rufen und Gäste aus dem Hostel zu verweisen, und dass dies wegen der banalsten Gründe geschieht, wie zum Beispiel dem Schließen eines Fensters. In meinem Fall wurde die Polizei wegen eines trivialen Grundes gerufen, nämlich weil ich das Fenster im Zimmer aufgrund der Kälte geschlossen habe, und ich wurde aus dem Hostel verwiesen. Ich habe versucht, den Mitarbeitenden die Situation zu erklären, aber ihr Verhalten war unprofessionell. Während ic

Great location in the heart of Leipzig, surrounded by cafes and restaurants. It has a good kitchen, the hot plates don’t turn on until 11am which can be a little frustrating, but it has everything you need. Staff are nice and helpful. Beds are good, I stayed in both the dorm rooms and capsules, both I recommend. It is very much a maze, with men’s showers on the second floor and certain doors won’t unlock. But overall definitely recommend

Super Hostel, allerdings muss ich dringendst von den Schlafkapseln abraten! Sind absolut nicht zu empfehlen, daher Ausstattung 0pkt -Extrem Hellhörig -Lüfter extrem Laut -Kapsel Stand in Normalem kleinen Mehrbettzimmer und nicht in großem (anonymen Saal), es fühlte sich einfach an, als würde man in nem Sarg schlafen. -Kapsel über mir übertrug extrem Bewegungen und Geräusche, Leute hatten darin Sex. -Kapsel hat von innen keine mechanische Notentriegelung, diese ist nämlich ebenfalls elektrisch.

One of the best. Great location - 15 minutes walk from the main train station and very central. It was pretty self explanitary staying here, but the staff were always ready to help if needed. The bar downstairs was a great one, with great staff and a good selection of beers, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and spirits. My single room was huge, but no idea of the dorms. If I return to Leipzig Im definatly staying here again

Good hostel, the pods are big and comfortable. The only problem is this place is like a maze, it's very difficult to get to and from the reception, the path makes little sense and is time-consuming.

Das private Doppelzimmer hat sich als Kapsel in einem Raum mit 31 anderen Kapseln herausgestellt. Für alle gab es 2 Toiletten und 3 Duschen. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Frühstück war in Ordnung. Buchungen würde ich direkt über die Homepage des Hostels empfehlen, damit die fehldarstellung von Hostelworld vorher klar wird.
