Hotels in Germany are not all like North American hotels, big, hundreds of rooms, and impersonal...There are some hotels in the big cities like that; however, there are a lot of hotels called "Gasthaus"
pronounced "Guest House", which are small hotels with 3 or 5 or 10 to or 15 so rooms, small hotels run by individual families. Its THE MAJOR part of the hotel industry there, and the big North American style ones are the exception rather than the rule. The Guest Houses are usually less impersonal, and more helpful, and some probably don't bother with credit card anyways, so maybe you should find one close to Frankfurt and commute. The train system there is very abundantly developed and used, so commuting is easy. There are some very wonderful places just north of Frankfurt you should try, and enjoy your stay instead of only being couped up in a globalized city. Towns with "Bad" in front of the name are some of the nicest places to stay, "Bad" in German language is literally translated as "Bath", meaning really something like a spa resort. If you take a local train for about 1/2 hour ride, you can stay at beautiful ones like
"Bad Homburg" "Bad Nauheim" etc...look on a map of the area surrounding Frankfurt, pick a small town, and search for a Gasthaus, then phone or fax or e-mail them asking for a room and confirmation, with promise to pay once you get there. |

Not every hotel requires a credit card for booking. So you might just want to find a different hotel. Check out http://www.hrs.com
Besides, if it's a business trip, then how can you not have a credit card? If it's not your own company then why don't they do the booking? |
