“Chrissy's recommendation”
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.
