This hotel and hostel lies in the historic heart of Leipzig, within a 4-minute walk of the market square and St. Thomas Church, and a 10-minute walk from Leipzig Main Station. Five Elements Hostel Leipzig offers a free Wi-Fi.

The colourful rooms and dormitories at the Five Elements Hostel Leipzig all include an en suite bathroom. There is a safety locker for each person.

Huge hostel with endless corridors works like a well-oiled machine. The hostel rooms are fully occupied, accordingly there are a lot of people at breakfast. But the staff copes with it. Good and varied breakfast for 7.5€.

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.

    The price was very cheap (even for a last minute booking around midnight). Check-in was simple, and there was a nice lounge to relax and do work. This was my first time staying at a hostel, and it definitely exceeded my expectations!

    This was a fascinating place to stay - a youth hostel vibe with private hotel-like rooms. We had a great view of the square outside from our room window. We were only a short walk from the Thomas Kirche and close to much of the old city. We especially loved the spacious dining room, where we could prepare and eat our own lunches and suppers, and the breakfasts we paid for three mornings were well worth the money. The day staffer was especially friendly and perfectly fluent in English.

    Great location and parking near by. Although we ended up going with a cheaper parking spot than the one that was recommended by the hotel. The room was comfortable and had enough space for our group. Very close to old town, and many restaurants. Staff was very helpful! I'll stay here again if I come back to Leipzig.
