Set in Frankfurt/Main, 2 km from Messe Frankfurt, Panorama Hostel offers accommodation with a shared lounge, private parking and a bar. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and an ATM, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar.

We booked a room with private bathroom. It was a room for 4 (ideal for a couple + 2 kids). It has also a little kitchenette to make a quick meal, tea and coffee. The hostel provided us with towels (body + hands) and hand soap. In the bathroom there's also a hair drier. The location was awesome. Quite central but away from the business. The tram 11 and 21 took us directly to the central station. Since we went for a concert, the tram 21 took us directly to the Deutsche Bank Park (stadion). The hostel is on the 5th floor, accessible by elevator. On the ground floor of the building there are different shops and a Rossman. 1 min from the hostel there is a nice, cheap and family friendly Turkish restaurant. I rate this place 10/10.

Just 200 metres from Frankfurt Central Station, this modern hostel is centrally situated in the city’s red light district. The Five Elements Hostel offers free WiFi and provides a great base for exploring Frankfurt.

Staff and atmosphere inside the hostel is really wonderful. Talked with some really interesting people and had a great time. Staff is super friendly and fun.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I liked the socialising and games that happened in the evenings! The outside roads at night seem a bit unsafe but the hostel is great.

    This is a friendly budget hotel which is just a few steps from the Frankfurt main station. The breakfast was good - plenty of choice. The room was basic (eg no kettle) but clean and comfortable with places to hang your clothes. The police station is between the hotel and the station, so the location did not feel unsafe at all. A special mention to the staff, who made us a cup of green tea when we arrived back quite late one day.

    The staff was friendly. There is a youth hostel feel in the decoration (friendly and approachable) while the room are neat and clean and the hotel quiet. No breakfast is offered but snacks are offered for a fee.

    Booked this hostel for 1 night, paid 17 $ in April 2024. RECEPTION: Guy was friendly and helpful. The hall is very modern and cozy, a lot of space for leisure and everywhere you can find sockets.

Had no experience with it. CHECK OUT: 10:00

    Nice apartments in a safe district. Not far from Messe, a 15 min walk. I really liked the coffee & cookies/apples/cereal bars in the public lounge for breakfast, wasn't expected thus extremely pleasing. Everything was pretty clean. The laundry room in the basement was cheap and convenient.

    Great location to the Frankfurt city center. Friendly staff, the room was clean, very comfortable bed. There was a modern, casual atmosphere without feeling like a cheaper/budget hotel.
