Dorint Hotel Düren
Very cold room, wouldn’t warm up. They forgot a drink on room service and when we checked out they could not give an itemised bill to see if we had been charged for it. Bathroom was not very private. Food good and bed comfortable but not clean, we brought our own sheet though.

Housecleaning never came during my 3 days there. The front desk attendants are not often at the desk, so you have to ring the bell
