Aparthotel Paderborn Reviews

IBB is a DIY Hotel. You can check in from 2 to 6 pm at the reception - if you’re lucky. There’s a woman with an Eastern-European accent at the reception, who doesn’t seem to be bound to any regular times to be at work. Judging from her attitude, she seems to be connected to the management or the owners. Polite phrases are absent from her language, but orders aren’t. The cleaning lady on the other hand was super nice. If she’d manned the reception and the Russian lady would clean, it would be a boon for the guests. Checking in outside of the small time window, when the reception is manned, can be a challenge, particularly for foreigners. I helped a couple from abroad, who had unsuccessfully tried to call the German mobile phone number displayed at the entrance. They were stuck outside and didn’t know what to do. So I called the number, and the Russian woman mentioned above answers it and tells you what to do - literally. You have to type in a code, you’ll receive on the phone, into a metal box outside the entrance to get your card. I have no idea whether she speaks any English or not, so good luck. The rooms are quite modern, but wear and tear are already setting in. The TV remote in my room didn’t work properly, and the screen had a long scratch. There was dirt in the bathroom. There are supermarkets, fast food restaurants and a bakery close to the hotel. There is a Greek restaurant about 10 minutes walk away. As this is in a remote suburb of Paderborn, there isn’t much going on.

Unfortunately, check-in was very difficult. There was a lot of confusion about who was responsible for us. Otherwise, a clean and simple hotel with free parking. Good for short visits.

Clean but facilities and access to hotel staff are very poor.

The hotel is a bit out of the way, but there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel. The reception was no longer manned when we arrived, but check-in was still super easy. The room was very spacious and everything we needed was there. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back!

Perfect starting point for various excursions such as Externsteine, Westfalen Therme, Safari Park and much more. Unbeatable price in the region. Bakery, supermarket and restaurants directly adjacent

Hotel with good price-performance ratio.

We went to Paderborn for the game, together with my son, hotel very pleasant, clean, recommend!

Nice clean hotel with nice roof terrace. Nice that you can check out until 12pm.

Overall feeling

We like to use this hotel for a 1/2 night stay when we visit our children. The rooms are - if you get one with a sofa - a good size, bright and nicely designed. For a few nights you can do without a closet, but there is an open possibility with hangers. The bathroom is small and nice, the shower half open but of a comfortable length. If all soap dispensers are well stocked, toilet paper refilled, everything is ok - if not, it will be difficult, since the reception is very sparsely staffed and you can at least stand there stupidly at the weekend. It is remarkable that we sleep very well and the possibility of making coffee or tea, including material, is available in the room. In the building there is a bakery that does not belong to the hotel, where you can have a very good breakfast, on the weekends also as a buffet (9.50 €) or individually put together, just as you wish. So actually everything is ok, if you aren't one of the very early risers and are still in the room at around 9:00 a.m., it's better to hang up the "please do not disturb" sign, room service starts mercilessly early. This time we had a sheet with holes for the first time, but it was clean.
