Hotel Restaurant Rodizio Paderborn

The car park was full of damaged and battered saunas which made the place look untidy it first sight. On arrival the staff looked confused and struggled to communicate. After a 30 min wait I was marched around the property in about 30 seconds and shown the 3 rooms we had booked. Overall the staff were very rude and after the restaurant closed on an evening they sat by the rear door smoking, drinking and shouting till the early hours keeping guests awake. Staff were unable to communicate in English or German and only spoke Russian. The smoke alarms in the rooms had been removed and smoke filled the corridors and rooms from the staff every evening. We paid for breakfast for one of the rooms and the restaurant wasn't open. The rooms weren't cleaned once in a week, the sheets and towels weren't changed at all. Live wires exposed at plug sockets, the velux window was broken so didn't shut resulting in excessive traffic noise from the busy road. The rooms carpet was full of ash. The carpet on the stairs was so loose it was a major trip hazard. Staff accused us of using a jacuzzi and demanded money via google translate, when we didn't and wouldn't due to the layer of slime on the water surface. Every morning we had to exit the property via the back door where the remnants of the staff's previous nights party strewn all over the table including a very large knife. We actually felt quite unsafe staying here and as a result we ended up leaving a day early. By far the worst run hotel I've ever stayed in. Unfortunately it was the only hotel available due to Paderborn's Libori fest. Having read reviews of the restaurant we decided to give it a miss, if only we had read reviews of the hotel before staying we would have looked elsewhere.

Where to start. Let’s say that if we could give 0, we would. We only stayed at this establishment after our previous accommodation was cancelled last minute and was the only place able to accommodate a family of 6 on labori week (we now know why). Upon arrival we were greeted by the sight of a sauna graveyard. Rows of battered mobile saunas lined up in the car park with parts strewn about various spaces. Once we found a place to park we entered the Rodizio restaurant and were met with a quiet, drab establishment with seemingly bewildered staff members who at the sight of our arrival appeared completely uninterested, unbothered and confused by our request to see our rooms. Once the non-German, non-English speaking staff accepted that we had in fact booked a room, we were shown at break-neck speed what our rotten, smelly hut comprised of. Plug sockets with open wires, cobwebs, tobacco ash on the floor, missing smoke alarms, black mold all over the shower area, urine stained covers, nails purtruding from windows, doors which didn’t fit their frame, bugs which continued to reappear and inhabit our hut throughout our stay, I could go on, but you get the point. Outside our shabby hut, are several hot tub jacuzzis, each with their own accompanying algae formation on the surface of the water - we couldn’t wait to take a dip…for the price of €10 per hour. On one of the evenings the very welcoming and homely staff politely accused us of having a party in these jacuzzis, where apparently there was broken glass all across the tacky relaxing area in between our hut and jacuzzi. This was obviously a flat out lie as when we were taken to the said area, not a single shard of glass was found - this didn’t stop the cheek of the bloke to request €60, to which we of course politely said “no”, or something to that affect. For the following days, we did not feel safe staying here. I’d also like to mention that with our stay, we were also offered inclusive breakfast. However, as you have maybe gathered from other reviews, this wasn’t served. In fact, on the first morning, we entered downstairs to find a completely closed, dark restaurant with only a single staff member, who was likely cleaning up the mess of other staff members from their nightly antics outside the back of the hotel (as I mention later). Clearly falsely advertised, but not surprising from this dump. And now we come to the finale. I am actually sat writing this review in Bremen, several hundred kilometres north of Paderborn, 1 day earlier than when we were supposed to leave Rodizio restaurant and hotel. As you can imagine the reasons above are evidence enough for why we would leave early, however it was early this morning upon waking (after a night of disturbed sleep due to staff partying, kissing each other, and likely using the huts for other purposes - which occurred more than once while staying here) where we were met with the sight of a large kitchen knife outside on the table where th

Ich hatte leider die Rezensionen nicht gelesen und habe einen Gutschein bei Gr….erworben. Angekommen im Hof mit Stretchlimo und Fassaunen..irgendwie komisch. 17.55 , also 5 min vor dem gebuchten Termin erschienen…alles dunkel!? Nach einiger Zeit erschien jemand und machte Licht. Die Einrichtung ist in die Jahre gekommen. Bedienung „Osteuropäisch-Unterkühlt“. Reichhaltiges Büffet mit vielen Sachen aus dem Eimer. Getränke werden mit der Hand einfach auf den Tisch gestellt. Irgendwie alles etwas unterirdisch!? Ich könnte noch mehr erzählen, aber dann wird mir….Wiederholungsfaktor 0,0

Dachte ich buch mal was „Neues“ für die Durchreise. „Rodizio“ klingt ja auch gut. Hat man gleich Hunger. (Hätte die Bewertungen vorher lesen sollen.) Also per Mail Zimmer und Tisch reserviert, und es wurde sofort bestätigt. Bei Ankunft konnte sich an die Reservierung nur leider keiner mehr erinnern. „Hat Chef gemacht“, „hab ich Preis gesagt?“. Waren auch aber noch genug einfache alte Zimmer (Matratzen total durch) mit Neuem Gemeinschaftsbad auf dem Flur frei. Dummerweise liegen die Zimmer alle zur gut befahrenen Bundesstraße hin, das WC ist dagegen nach hinten raus, Die Nacht war kurz - oder lang - wie man will. Das „Rodizio“ hat leider von der Qualität her NICHTS mit einem brasilianischen Fleischrestaurant zu tun. Sämtliches Fleisch war im Grunde ungenießbar, verbrannt, zäh oder extrem fettig, und sah zudem auch nicht appetitlich aus. Das (Salat-)Buffet war so lala. Die Bedienung war zwar sehr flott spricht aber leider gar kein Deutsch (oder gar Englisch). Man muss mit Händen und Füßen kommunizieren. Es läuft im Dauerstream auf einer großen LED-Leinwand irgendein Musiksender draußen (den keiner beachtet), der dann aber sehr laut auch in das Restaurant schallt. Kreditkarte nimmt man natürlich nicht, nur EC oder Cash. Übernachtung muss man im Voraus an der Kasse entrichten. Alles auf das Zimmer schreiben und am nächsten Morgen bezahlen geht nicht. Ich weiß jetzt auch warum - das für 7 € extra reservierte Frühstück gab‘s nämlich nicht - es war am Morgen schlicht niemand da der es hätte zubereiten können, oder kassieren können. Zum Glück gibts nebenan eine ordentliche Tanke mit Kaffee und Brötchen. Wo der Inhaber des Rodizio und sein Gefolge war, war nicht ersichtlich - vielleicht in einer der zahlreichen mobilen Saunen auf dem Gelände, oder in seiner Strechlimo?
