Aparthotel Paderborn

For the price, this is one of the best value hotels I’ve stayed in. There’s a great bakery in the same building, plus parking, and the rooms are clean, spacious, and equipped with everything you need. I’d have liked a firmer bed, but for a few nights it’s a great option.

Check the booking conditions, since reception is only staffed part of the time. Apart from that, it’s a good budget hotel and everything was clean. It’s on the edge of the city, with plenty of parking behind the hotel and a Russian supermarket nearby. Room 306 was spacious, with a view from the roof terrace and access through the hallway. I can definitely recommend it.

I stayed for 15 nights. The room and bathroom were spacious, the TV was large, and the rooms were reasonably clean. There are no shared spaces inside the hotel, so during COVID-19 I felt there was less risk of coming into contact with other guests. It’s on the edge of the city, parking is free, and the prices are fairly low. The mattress wasn’t very comfortable. The rooms need repainting, and dust should be cleaned off the walls. There’s no mini fridge, and reception is open only from 16:00 to 18:00.

There’s plenty of free parking, though the hotel is outside the city. The room was fairly spacious and quiet, and it had tea and coffee facilities, but the kettle was dirty with limescale. The bed and pillow were very uncomfortable, and the bathroom felt cramped. Wi-Fi was useless, and the room wasn’t cleaned during our two-night stay. Breakfast at the bakery was very limited, mostly bread, with no cereal, yogurt, fruit, or similar options. We had booked a package with a three-course dinner at a partner restaurant, but the quality was poor. The appetizer and dessert had already been chosen for us, and there was an extra charge for the optional main course. I wouldn’t recommend it for a comfortable stay, though it might work as a stopover during a journey.
