Central Hotel Duisburg in Duisburg

The towels and sheets had a damp, musty smell. Even after taking a shower, the unpleasant odor would stick to my body when I used the towel — it was really unpleasant. Even when I asked for new towels, they still smelled musty, which was quite frustrating.

Also, although I hung the sign requesting room cleaning, it was somehow flipped to the “Do Not Disturb” side, and the room ended up not being cleaned — that was disappointing.

The internet speed in the room was below average, but the connection in the lobby was impressively fast, exceeding 300 Mbps.

When we arrived the hotel seemed closed. We had to ring at the doorbel and a hotel employee opened the door for us. She was very friendly but couldn't speak English, which wasn't that much of a problem since I can speak a little bit of German.

Once in the room, it appeared quite clean even though the room is a bit basic - given the price nothing to complain about, really. However, when we went to bed at night, the bed sheets didn't smell too fresh... they smelled like a dishcloth which has been used too long...

It was a bit hot in the room so we opened the windows - beware that this hotel is located right next to a main street, at the traffic lights, so there's a lot of traffic noise in the mornings which woke us up at 7:00.

When we left, there was not a person to be seen in the lobby, so we just left the room key at the desk (some other guests did the same).

All in all, can't really complain because we only paid 46 EUR for the night (double room, Sunday night), but next time I'll spend a little more for a good night's sleep and a bed that smells fresh.

No so great l, you can hear people in building opposite, no one in reception most of the time. only plus was pretty good internet.
