Out of town location. Can be a good value but not when you’re paying TEFAF art fair prices.

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.
