Tank & Rast Raststätte Donautal Ost in Passau

Overpriced, but at least friendly service and clean sanitary facilities

I cannot at all confirm the previous reviews regarding hygiene and unfriendly staff. We were there at 7 a.m. on Saturday and had nothing to complain about.

Dirty and dangerous (especially at night)

An average pump with the usual features. Nothing special but high prices.

The offer and the prices are catastrophic - simply shameful so soon after the border with Austria. Just never stop here again!

Really outrageous!! Rolls €1.49 Ketchup/mayonnaise €1.20 The food is already expensive enough and then you have to cash in like that. Really outrageous!!

Super super delicious food at very fair prices! Very clean and the staff is really friendly and makes an effort to ensure that the food is beautifully prepared. I'd love to come back!

1€ for Sanifair is ok if it weren't for the fact that the soap is empty and the floor is completely sticky. This works much better a few kilometers further south in Austria. Otherwise overpriced self-service station.

Expecting to find a North Sea restaurant (it's on the outside), we went hungry to this rest stop. Inside we were greeted with only leftover food. A few cold fried potatoes, a few sausages that had probably been there for hours. Since we were hungry, we had a breakfast plate full of fried potatoes and my husband had one of the aforementioned sausages and a few fried potatoes. Plus two small cold drinks. (Coca Cola and Fanta). We paid €32.00 for it and were very surprised at the amount. When we asked at the checkout how much the individual prices were (there were no prices for the dishes or drinks anywhere) the cashier told us that he didn't know the individual prices. We felt betrayed. But then we didn't say anything more because we finally wanted to eat. Unfortunately the food didn't taste good.

28.9. Closed at 9:00 p.m., incorrect opening times stated Update 9/30 11:35 a.m. partially open, North Sea open, trash can in front of entrance area overflowing

Dear operator of the rest area, The conditions in your toilets are subterranean. There are several toilets for both men and women that are unusable due to contamination. We stopped with a tour group, which meant €50 for toilet use. With one coach per hour alone, they covered the personnel costs for the cleaning staff. Nothing justifies such toilets contaminated with feces, especially since travelers stop at rest stops like yours specifically for this purpose. Shameful for a German gas station on the highway. Best regards Adrian Lamprecht

Food is expensive. Coffee too. Like everywhere on the highway. Toilet clean.

busy toilets stop here for diesel was travelling to turkey

Unfortunately, there were so many high piles of rubbish that you could no longer see the containers, dirty, non-functioning toilets, with a fee of one euro. Not recommended.

Give it a wide berth. Totally dirty and everything full of rubbish. Rest area was closed. Toilet facility not the cleanest. Never again

The toilets weren't clean. The smell almost took your breath away. I'm happy to pay €1 to use the toilet if it's clean, but not if it smells like urine. Today September 15, 2024 at 10:00 a.m.

Unfortunately I have to give one star for this mill stop, otherwise you can't write your anger about such a situation. It was the most disgusting rest stop I've seen in the last 20 years. Stinky dirty toilet facilities and they charge €1 for that. You should stop by the hygiene office send them to close this mess🤮🤮

The Sanifair toilet was dirty and unkempt, something I've never seen before from Sanifair! The coffee in the run-down, dingy restaurant was lukewarm at best, the only thing that was great was the price

Disaster, landed at 2am and we felt so uncomfortable. Never again, I can't write the reason why.

In short: I had never experienced anything like this before. Completely overcrowded parking lot, lots of people, toilet line all the way outside, pungent smell and overpriced restaurant. You're happy to finally be back in Germany...

Actually, I'm not the type of person who writes reviews, but the gentleman at the checkout in the restaurant at this rest stop almost pissed me off today and made me do this. The man at the checkout was extremely unfriendly and became loud and aggressive when I expressed my opinion about prices and the redemption of Sanifair vouchers. Completely inflated prices. I would have liked to give zero stars, but unfortunately that's not possible.

Old and run-down rest area. There is trash everywhere in the parking lot. The toilets were partially broken, the toilet paper holder was torn out of the wall. The gastronomy is not up to date. Espresso for 3.39!!! The employee at the checkout hardly speaks any German and is unfriendly. The young colleague no longer has any teeth in her mouth. Welcome to Germany at the first rest stop after the border.

Unhygienic, disgusting rest stop at 9:30 in the morning, garbage everywhere, garbage cans are not emptied, the entire staff ignores the situation there, Man pays 1e for toilet without soap, without disinfection in the toilet; just light again

Sie wollten sich schon immer einmal einen Reisetag verderben? Dann sind die Raststätten "Donautal Ost" und "Donautal West" genau richtig für Sie. Es erwarten Sie dort nicht nur komplett vermüllte Parkareale und peinlich ungepflegte Toiletten, sondern auch das wohl unfreundlichste Servicepersonal, das Ihnen jemals untergekommen ist. Mit etwas Glück dürfen Sie sich sogar von einem Tankwart nach allen Regeln der Kunst rundmachen lassen, weil Sie z. B. nicht auf Anhieb wissen, welche Maut man für den Karawankentunnel benötigt. Und ganz nebenbei können Sie auch noch problemlos Ihren Tagesbedarf an "Muntermachern" decken. Es dürfte Ihnen oder Ihren Kindern ein Leichtes sein, rund um die Parkplätze achtlos weggeworfene kleine Tütchen mit seltsamen Inhalten zu finden, weiße Pülverchen, diverse Kräutlein oder hübsche bunte Pillen. Was wollen Sie mehr? Ach, Sie halten das alles für übertrieben? Dann probieren Sie es doch einfach aus, nur Mut! Sollten Sie hingegen zu den langweiligen Zeitgenossen gehören, die Fahrtpausen gerne zu Erholung und Muße nutzen und auf gepflegte Umgangsformen Wert legen: Die nächsten Rastanlagen sind (in beiden Richtungen) gar nicht so weit entfernt.

Very dirty and unfriendly staff

A subterranean, poor rest stop, filled with rubbish to the point where it's no longer possible. When I visited on September 2nd, 2024, the Sanifair urinals were all defective and covered with garbage bags. There was no employee anywhere to be seen who cared. The toilets were also extremely dirty. Soap and towel dispensers were broken or empty. What should you pay €1 for? There doesn't seem to be any employee responsible for the extremely littered outdoor area either. It looked like a garbage dump, only less sorted. It's an absolute shame that we offer such a picture to guests traveling through our country. The operator should be ashamed of himself! During subsequent stops at other rest stops, I saw a similar picture. Rest stops on our highways are becoming more and more of a disaster. Broken, dirty, no quality of stay, no service and totally overpriced! It's better to leave the motorway and find a nice, clean and inexpensive inn a little away. You'll definitely find an inexpensive gas station this way!

Sunday, September 1st, 2024 The Donautal service area is a complete garbage dump. How you can make money here with a non-existent service is unbelievable to me. The entire facility, including the toilets, is in a dilapidated condition and dirty. Unfortunately, I cannot judge whether the service staff is overwhelmed or not available. The employees on site tried to create some order, but apparently the chaos arose over time and was no longer manageable. If you can at all, avoid the rest stop - it's worth it!!

I haven't seen anything like that in a long time. All toilets broken and a garbage dump outside. 👎🏼

Men's toilet: urinals all broken. Toilet not clean, soap dispenser broken.

Worst and dirtiest rest stop I've ever been to

Rest area closed. You can only buy something in the gas station, but at exorbitant prices. e.g Bag of potato chips EUR 4.99.. Dirty and disgusting toilets, cleaning lady on site but not active..

Absolut letztklassig und dreckig. Tankstellen- bzw. Kassenpersonal total unfreundlich. Ein Teil des Restaurants geschlossen, der andere vollkommen versifft. Das Essen trieft vor Fett, einfach ungenießbar. Am Zapfhahn gibt es nur widrig süße Getränke, kein Wasser. Eigentlich sollte man vor der Abfahrt ein Warnschild aufstellen.

On August 30th, 2024 around 8:00 a.m. we drove to the rest stop. The outside area was unkempt and dirty. A traffic jam in the entrance to the toilet caused by a defective payment machine. The men's toilets were only moderately maintained. The paper towel containers were overflowing. My wife's description of the ladies' room exceeded my worst fears. Everything dirty, urine on the floor. The usage fees are an outrage. You should receive compensation. Not recommended.

So etwas dreckiges habe ich noch nicht gesehen, Personal absolut unfreundlich. Nie wieder. Wenn möglich nicht besuchen.

August 28, 2024 - 1:20 p.m Rest area closed, although according to the internet it should be open 24/7. The visual condition of the facility resembles a garbage dump. Sanifair toilet system is bottom drawer. Most of the cisterns are out of order, dirty is putting it mildly and you pay one euro for that. Pure disgust. We refrained from trying to buy something to eat or drink at the adjacent gas station. You have to be afraid of getting something...

We were there yesterday. It's the worst rest stop I've ever been to. Dirty, germy, etc. Absolutely not recommended, keep driving and don't stop.

Disgusting. Everything full of rubbish. Most of the toilets are broken and the rest that work are dirty. Soap empty. The rest area is closed and the mountains of rubbish are piling up in front of it. Only the toilet, for which you have to pay €1, was open. Actually you should be paid the euro to go there, although it would still be far too little. And something like that in Germany...

One of the worst rest stops I've ever been to. Garbage everywhere. The North Sea Restaurant is closed and the other restaurant area is not open either.

The prices are too expensive for what it is..

Unfortunately the restaurant is closed due to a lack of staff.

In my opinion the rest area is too expensive. Pricing is inflationary. Anyone who pays the price of 17.89 euros for a schnitzel with a roll has only themselves to blame. The schnitzels are from wholesalers and the rolls too. The soda at the motorway gas station is too expensive and so are the offerings on the menu here. So keep driving...

A small parking lot for trucks. Toilets are always clogged and there is no toilet paper. Around the station there's crap on the sidewalk, it's hard to stick to it. Failure not parking

I've never seen bigger crap. Dirty toilets, garbage all over the parking lot and around the restaurant. Tragedy

Zurückkehrend von einer Wochenendtagung in der Steiermark, wollte ich an der ersten deutschen Raststätte eine kurze Pause einlegen: das Restaurant geschlossen, an der Toilette eine ewige Schlange, der Verkaufsraum der Tankstelle überfüllt. Müll überall.

No cleaners to be seen. Very dirty and smelly place. Not the best for kids and pets.

Unfortunately very dirty due to many travelers and commuters

The worst rest stop I have ever visited. Charred chicken wings, the staff doesn't understand my language and I don't understand theirs. Complaints are ignored and the Sanifair receipts are scanned. The ADAC bonus posted outside is also ignored without any response - not even a shake of the head. If I hadn't been so hungry, I would have left everything behind Under what circumstances do employees live that they have to accept such a job!

A peaceful place to rest while traveling. Good employees. 🍀🍀🍀

I was there today (8/12/24) to get gas. Conclusion: There were no gas pumps at any gas pump. No towels. No bucket of water to clean the window. No POURING WATER. Facility very dirty and run down.

Unfriendly staff at the Aral gas station, both tire pressure inflators were defective, the staff didn't care.

My parents and I chose this rest stop on the way home from Croatia because, according to Google maps, the restaurant is open all day and has a charging station. Arrive here and find that the restaurant is closed, but according to maps it is open. I understand that even a restaurant like this can be closed at times, for whatever reason, but then it should be clear in advance

I was at this rest stop on 8/8/24 around 9:00 p.m. I am aware that a restaurant that is open 24/7 must have different (= higher) prices, but what I experienced here was unacceptable. The staff was cleaning the kitchen and I was perceived as a disruption. When I asked if I would get something, I was actually served. The food came in disposable packaging and not on a plate. Disposable packaging is an absurdity when you eat in a restaurant - disposable packaging is only for to-go. None of the tables were cleaned by the staff - there was enough staff there who were chatting to themselves. The benches are all broken - and not just since yesterday. The condition of this rest stop is simply shameful: there is an urgent need for action.

Rubbish and unkempt to the point of vomiting.

14 euros for that. That's currywurst... and side salad.

Incredibly unclean. It would be enough to sweep with a broom. The menu is also very clear. In summary: if you have the opportunity to continue driving then you should avoid this rest stop.

Women's toilet (paid 1€ for cleanliness): toilet seat smeared, the toilet in another cubicle is clogged, water is up to the top of the bowl. Nobody cares, staff lock themselves in the staff cabin. Hygiene is also unacceptable in the restaurant: cobwebs everywhere, dead flies en masse on the window sills directly behind the benches, tables dirty, curtains dirty and not fastened properly, window panes very dirty! The only plus point: the e-charging stations work perfectly. There is a star for this. Everything else is an imposition!!

Employees were friendly but that was it. Poor food, broken benches everywhere, but many people don't understand trash. There are plenty of trash cans.

Short stopover but unfortunately today during the holiday season it is completely overcrowded and the parking spaces are full.

Really bad and rude service (young man, black hair and moustache)

Interior is in very poor condition. Toilets suck and still cost money.

If you want to see the dirtiest rest stop in all of Germany, stop here. On July 27th, 2024 we took a break here surrounded by mountains of garbage from cans, bottles, paper and residual waste, food leftovers right at the entrance to the rest stop, in the entire parking lot and in the rest stop. The persona, 4 people, with 100 percent micration background, was standing around behind the counter. When I pointed out the mountains of rubbish and overfilled bins, I was of course told that they were not responsible for that. What happened to beautiful Bavaria? You should definitely not stop at this rest stop because of the dirt.

A bit expensive, the food was okay. Friendly staff.

The outdoor area is completely littered, 3/5 toilet urinals are broken and the toilet area is also dirty, which is a disgrace for €1

Poorly maintained toilets for €1, you can only redeem one voucher per purchase and really outrageous prices, even for a motorway rest stop.

I don't normally write reviews but this station shoots the bird. Incredibly rancid, stinky, sh... costs 1€ (!) and the espresso costs a whopping €3.39, you've never seen anything like it...

Just used the toilet. They were clean, nothing to complain about.

Dirty, run down and on top of that the toilet is a rip-off

I would prefer to give minus stars, what antisocial staff flies after you if you just want to pay, the fat guy behind the cash register should be fired immediately, this is really not possible

Clean facilities, plenty of food in case you stop & refill your car whilst travelling on German Autobahn E-Charger only 50 KW but at least they have one that works

Prices are simply outrageously expensive. Cola and bockwurst just under €14

Staff can't speak German. Food only half price but full price. Cleanliness - none. Leftover food is lying around the entire room.

This rest stop is an absolute scandal. Going to the toilet costs €1 and there is only enough toilet paper in a single cubicle. There is no trace of cleaning and hygiene. €5.50 for a monster is also cheeky. So you can't and shouldn't support such cutthroats

Fairly clean, we stopped for Nord see, they didn't have anything at 6pm.

Really expensive and nothing really tastes good. It's better to drive on and buy something somewhere else

Broken glass in the parking lot Otherwise fine

On the way home from Austria we stopped at the rest stop. UNFORTUNATELY. Of the 2 existing coffee machines, only one was in operation and it only had two coffees to choose from. We had 2 cups of coffee for a whopping €7.98. I have to say, I've never drunk such expensive "water" before. The food on offer was also unappealing and totally overpriced. It's really not worth stopping here.

It's a bit shabby, but it serves its function.

Forget about the rest stop, only the gas station is open

Toilet costs 1 € and is not particularly well maintained....plus the "kiosk" is closed on Monday...so you couldn't redeem the voucher.

good place for a break ,big parkin g with camera,clean toilet so o recomend

Delicious sausage and coffee 😜👍

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Absolutely crazy, 7 p.m. and the juice shop is closed 🤬🤬🤬 I could vomit in circles if I came to an underground rest stop like this after a 15-hour shift. I'll NEVER PARK HERE AGAIN ⚠️⚠️⚠️

The only good thing here were the fries, otherwise misery. Don't stop here, keep going!

Toilet at €1 is overpriced. Likewise, a cappuccino with cheesecake for just under €10. There was no fish and there were no cheaper dishes around €10. Fries were rather soft and I didn't find the food good. All self-service. I wouldn't recommend.

Very nice man served. I ordered a roll with meatballs, one with bratwurst and one with meat loaf. Unfortunately, it wasn't until after I had prepared it that I saw that each roll with toppings cost almost €9. This is outrageously expensive. North Sea was closed.

Road in catastrophic condition! Service okay!

The parking lot wasn't that clean and well maintained. It was easy to get a parking space for one car. The rest house itself was clean and tidy.

Very large pump, so lots of room for trucks.

Sanifair toilet seats for men and women are defective (no cleaning)... WC for women: a door cannot be locked, the smell of urine is acrid. 3:30 p.m. on a normal Thursday - Nordsee Restaurant closed, no one there. Outdoor area completely neglected. Several seats in the restaurant demolished, seat covers destroyed - no one cares, see photo. Small schnitzel with fries 16.99 euros. Person tank & rest - are you serious?

Super nice and helpful employee! Our hungry baby greets and thanks :-) (05/14/2024 at 4:30 p.m.)

A bratwurst roll for €9, are you still clear in your head? Something bordering on fraud and usury. Sorry, not borderline but that is cheating in my opinion.

Very friendly service, especially the tall Asian-looking gentleman who put a lot of effort into ensuring that the food - schnitzel + fries, "salad", plus extra garnish - tasted good :-)

I regularly take a 45-minute break. Always clean toilet, helpful staff.

Shower 3: euro toilet 1 euro, shower key at gas station for key exchange..

We were there at 1 p.m. because I wanted something from the North Sea. Unfortunately everything was closed except the gas station and the toilet

A bit run down but it does its job.

Plenty of parking spaces, but always full. Pleasant staff. Food of satisfactory quality. Attendance speaks of quality.

Nothing to eat at 7 p.m.! And that at a motorway service station!

Very dirty. I didn't think it was nice.

There was a lot to do, which is actually a good thing, but the staff was completely understaffed and therefore overwhelmed. It's a shame that we could achieve more with more staff
