Five Elements

Frankfurt am Main


The location mightn't be Frankfurt's most salubrious, but once you're inside the turn-of-the-20th-century gabled building it's a sanctuary of parquet floors, boldly coloured walls and designer furniture. Facilities include a laundry and 24-hour bar with a billiard table; breakfast costs €6.50. The apartment, sleeping up to four people, has a private bathroom and kitchen.
