Ritter Hotel

Awful hotel. No air conditioning so the windows had to be kept open at night- unfortunately this meant that the noise outside the hotel was easily heard inside the room. Even with ear-plugs it was impossible to sleep. The hallway carpets stank and were older than I am. The staff were not very helpful- especially the night porters. We were left outside ringing the doorbell for around 15 minutes at night (the front door is always locked) until the night porter let us in. He appeared to be drunk and only answered the door after I rang the reception telephone. Do not stay here. The area is full of late night bars and they never seem to close! You will not get any sleep.

Quite noisy at hight from the bars and street people ..used ear plugs...and very warm rooms with no fans

Bars around make it impossible to sleep unless you party with them! A quiet room exists but is a hole with hardly any light. Poor value for money. Breakfast is ok though and staff is friendly and helpful.

Good location, clean & comfortable room at an affordable price. Within walking distance of museums and shopping district.

The only problem for me was that there was no elevator, just stairs, since it's a very old, beautiful, historical frame-work building. I had a heavy suitcase that I could't carry upstairs. However, I was allowed to leave it downstairs behind the reception desk, so my problem was solved!!! The personnel was VERY friendly. I liked it so much after the first two nights that I came back a week later for another night. I would recommend this hotel for young and fit people who don't have much money, who don't bring heavy luggage or can carry it, who can climb stairs, and who want to be in the middle of night life (it's in a street with lots of pubs and bars, and you can hear them until about 4 a.m.). I wouldn't recommend it to people who need absolute silence, or have trouble walking, since it's in a street (Grosse Ritter Gasse) where taxis aren't allowed to drive, so people have to drag their luggage over cobble stone pavement for a few minutes until they reach the entrance. There's a taxi stand right in the next street, Elizabeth Strasse. You need a cell phone working in Germany to call the taxis if none are there at the moment! The prices of Ritter Hotel are GREAT! Where else can you find that in a big city like Frankfurt for such beautiful rooms with shower and TV? The breakfast was wonderful. I'm definitely coming back.
