Our credit card wasn’t charged when we booked online. So when checking in they wouldn’t accept credit card and ONLY cash. The room was big, there is no air conditioning so we had to have the windows open at night. We stayed during a Saturday and Sunday night. Saturday night when we were going to bed it felt like I was trying to fall asleep in front of the speakers at a rock concert. The streets be low are lined with bars and the party lasted until 4:45 am when the police showed up to shut it down. We were hoping to get a better sleep Sunday night as people will have to work Monday. Not the case, Sunday had fewer people but it was just as loud and lasted all night. If you are young and looking to party all night this is the place for you. If you are looking to do the sightseeing and get a good nights rest I recommend looking somewhere else.

So this is an older building in a very popular nightlife spot. So be aware of what you are getting. There is no air conditioning, so beware the summer. It is also right in the middle of a very active area of bars, clubs and restaurants that stay open all night. Great if you are looking for that. Staff is very nice and helpful but don't speak English. Google Translate is your friend if you don't speak German. They also only take cash. If you're an adult looking for somewhere close to crash after partying all night and don't mind lack of AC then it's perfect

Never ever consider the place

Horrible service! Super expensive for the quality. They did not accept credit card for the payment. What kind of hotel does not accept credit card???? Even through Hotels.com I could not pay with my credit card. Just cash and a hand written receipt. Very dirty place near bars that drunk people were yelling until 4 AM.

We did not stay but stormed off after being left to wait outside in the rain and snow for an hour after our check in time. The place was so run down that by the time we got inside I didn’t trust them with my credit card and we left to walk to a new hotel. Very stressed and tired after dealing with the rude owner

The hotel was not open. No one was at the lobby and when I called the number the person told me I needed to stay in another hotel run by the same company which was on the other side of Frankfurt. This listing needs to be removed from Expedia as it has been closed for some time. Request full refund please

So, we checked in, very nice staff, went to our room which was clearly marked at Non-smoking, and it wreaked of cigarette smoke, like someone was there right before us smoking. The windows were open and we found a lighter and an empty pack of cigs. I can only guess that it was staff. We had no hot water and the light over the bathroom sink was out. I took the lighter and empty pack of cigs down to the front desk, since I didn't want to get penalized and they acted surprised. I wouldn't stay there again. Breakfast was good, but it was basically a pit. It is situated right over about 5 bars, so there was a lot of noise all the way until 4 AM. If you want to party, this is your place, if you want to sleep, it's not. It's basically a flop-house.

Nobody there to check us in! Doors closed.

We reserved a room for 2 nights on Expedia and when we arrived we found ourselves in front of a locked door and nobody there. I though maybe the hotel had been closed because it looks terrible, when the images on the Expedia site looked quite charming. I called a number that was on a small piece of paper and a man advised that he will be there very quickly. 20 minutes went by and I called back and the same man said: Oh yes, someone will be there in 5 minutes. Another 20 minutes went by and we started to search for another hotel in the surrounding area that charged me double the price. Ritter Hotel needs to be removed form Expedia.

Good for a short stay.

This was a good spot for a short stay. Convenient ~10 minute walk from Konstablerwache station and right in the heart of an excellent night life area. Not the most luxurious of accommodations, but for the price it was fine. Being on top of a bar made it a bit loud at night but nothing too crazy.

Ok hotel.

The rooms and exterior, are very pretty. The place is very close to everything you'll want to see in Frankfurt. The bathrooms leave something to be desired, and they are in the process of changing the carpets in the rooms. The new carpets a fairly nice... the old ones, not so much. The staff is super freindly, which is nice since the front door is always locked, and you will have to ring the doorbell everytime you come and go. I guess that the neighborhood can get a lottle rough at night. The biggest drawback is parking. You will need to park in the public parking a few blocks away, thhis is only a problem if you are driving through Germany, not that most people do... oh and I hope you like old timey stairs.

Passable for drunks, otherwise disgusting!

The hotel is located in a great pub neighborhood - pubs for blocks. The hotel is horrendously dirty and disgusting, difficult to navigate and uncomfortable. I could barely make it to the first-floor room with my suitcase, I can't imagine doing while being completely drunk - would probably break my neck. It would be good to visit the neighborhood, but never this hotel again!

Old carpet. Old bathroom. Bad pillows. Hotel needs to be renovated. Positive side, location is awesome. Bars and takeaway next door. No cabs needed. Noise wasn't a problem once inside. We were on 2nd floor. Didn't hear a thing.
