Tank & Rast Raststätte Kassel Ost in Lohfelden

Large parking lot, spacious restrooms, and plenty of space in the restaurant. The scrambled eggs were delicious, and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Ample parking. All amenities. Nearby Aldi.

Everything is very clean and spacious. Salads seem freshly prepared, and there's plenty of seating inside and outside. Beautiful decor.

Large truck parking lot...but very far to walk to the rest area or toilet

I stay there regularly, to stay overnight with the trucks, shower 🚿 perfectly clean, also the staff super friendly, and that in the morning at 4am 👍👍👍

Great charging option for electric cars

We like to eat warm nails here.

I know many rest areas and can't understand the current average of 3.9 stars for this one. It's still a rest area, but definitely one of the better ones in the country. It's one of my favorite rest areas on the A5/A7 route. No matter what day or time I arrive here, there's always plenty of parking. It's scenic and quiet. Inside, there's not the overcrowded, hectic, and loud hustle and bustle of other rest areas, but rather a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. The Serways restrooms are clean and there are plenty of them. For food, there's Burger King, another snack bar, and Coffee Fellows with sandwiches, muffins, cakes, and the like. Everything inside is very clean and very spacious, and well-spaced, so people are well spread out and you can definitely enjoy some peace and quiet and relax. I'd be happy to come back.

There's something for everyone, everything is clean. Great terrace, plenty of parking.

Clean, tidy, and spacious enough. The restroom was clean. Everything was top-notch.

This rest stop has a very large parking lot and is also very spacious inside. In addition to the obligatory Sanifair restrooms (which are clean and spacious), there's a Burger King and other food options (fries, currywurst, etc.). There's also a Coffee Fellows where you can get a decent espresso. Overall, we always enjoy stopping here.

Super friendly staff. Burger King had the best breakfast, and they took great care of my hoarseness. The coffee guys were also super nice. The restroom was spotlessly clean. Nothing smelled. This will be our standard stop from north to south and vice versa. Traveling with a caravan and without for work.

We found a large parking lot for all types of cars with wheelchair access. We visited the restaurant for breakfast and enjoyed a crunchy chicken burger with a croissant. It was delicious. There's a great playground for our little guests (see photo) and a few green areas for our four-legged friends. Plenty of seating options complete the perfect break.

I've been here a few times. Now the operator has changed again and the TV only shows the first and second channels, just like 40 years ago. I reported it downstairs and the staff know that the problem has only started with the new owner. Today was my last time. There are two more just a few meters away.

Everything looks neat and clean, including the parking lot itself.

Several restaurants in one place. There's something for everyone. We always enjoy stopping here.

The rest area is very clean. There are plenty of restrooms, and they're very clean and self-cleaning. If you're hungry, you can also get something to eat there. Burger King is also located there. Unfortunately, the employee there is very unmotivated and slow, and doesn't speak German. He also forgets part of the order. Maybe they should teach him to always finish one order first. So be careful!!!

Great, spacious and clean rest area

Very clean rest stop with a large parking lot. The staff at the gas station and rest stop were very friendly.

Pretty good for a one-night stay en route

Went to the toilet and bought some food. The toilet was pay-to-use, but you could use the coupon towards food. We were a family of three, each buying our own item. Got scolded because apparently only one coupon per family was allowed. Tried to explain that we paid separately, but she refused to let us use them. Really rude and bitter lady. Avoid this place!

2 oat cappuccinos, 2 muffins, 1 geo, 1 time, 32€

Yes, very clean... but by 5 p.m., 95% of the truck parking spaces are occupied for the night...

The restroom was clean. There's a Burger King and also a snack kiosk. The parking lot offers a nice view.

Ridiculous, you have to pay extra to use toilet when dining at Burger King. Do not recommend.

Extremely clean and tidy. Spacious facility.

You can stop there without any worries. Everything is very clean.

I recommend it. Large truck parking lot.

The parking lot is spacious and has several parking spaces, large enough for one car. The area is well lit. Those who need to park are directed to the parking lot (fee: 1 EUR in cash or card (July 30, 2025, 1 EUR)). Those who want something to eat can visit Burger King. Those who are tired and don't have a bed with them can stay overnight in a motel. The small trees growing in the area are still too small to provide shade. A good thing for families with children is that there is a children's area in the area just outside the building where the Burger King, motel, and restrooms are located.

A good rest area where you can easily fill up, especially with a caravan. But if you want to park there, you only have to go to the back, where there's a barrier and you have to pay. That's a bit of a shame. The staff at the gas station are friendly and helpful.

Practical, inviting with friendly staff and a good choice for a late night stay.

Excellent and very well-maintained service station with motel, everything very clean, unfortunately rare in otherwise depraved Germany with its completely overpriced service stations, a real shame, until 1989 it was more bearable, but since 2014 the conditions have been unbearable!

A well-maintained, clean, and quite nice rest stop where I often stop and have a delicious espresso.

We were there for the fireworks display, which was very spacious. The spectators were well-equipped with chairs and food, but unfortunately, we weren't. The fireworks were good, but why is there an admission charge? Grömitz on the Baltic Sea is making "Grömitz in Flames" free.

We only used the restroom, but it was very clean. It wasn't rush hour, though.

The area needs its own navigation system 🤣 super clean, everything you need is there.

Beautiful views, lots of charging stations and the opportunity to take a little walk.

Like the rest area, it wasn't full.

Very clean, but quite large and confusing. I prefer smaller rest stops!

I was at the rest stop at 5 a.m. this morning and wanted to buy a special drink from Coffee Fellows. However, I was refused entry with the statement that these drinks were only available from 10 a.m. because they had to be prepared first. I was a bit speechless because I used to work at a rest stop with Coffee Fellows and I am familiar with the processes. I was not offered an additional drink. I can understand that there are times when the offerings have to be limited. But the special drinks really aren't that difficult. I wonder what happens when it's really busy here. What response will the customer get then? I am extremely disappointed. I am sorry that I overwhelmed the employee in her work (preparing for daily business) with my unusual request.

Good to score a cup of coffee. Clean toilets for which you have to go downstairs again. Nice terraces. Just pick one. Ample parking, no shade.

Nice spacious area for buses and easy accessible path for passengers. Disabled toilet immediately to the right of the entrance. Too bad there are trucks on the bus parking all the time, they probably can't read signs. People have to walk a long way because of this. Easily solved by placing a barrier I think. No digestion no p plts.

I regularly use Tank & Rast rest areas on my trips through Germany and have been consistently satisfied so far. I would particularly like to highlight the clean restrooms, which are really well-maintained and modern compared to many other rest areas. The Sanifair systems ensure order, and I think the voucher system is fair. The selection of food and drinks is also outstanding – whether you just need a quick coffee or a hot meal, there's always a suitable choice. I was also impressed by the friendliness of the staff; especially when things get busy, they remain polite and helpful. The parking lots are well signposted and offer ample space, even for larger vehicles or campers. I particularly appreciate that many rest areas also offer electric charging stations – this shows that Tank & Rast is keeping up with the times. Overall, I feel well looked after at Tank & Rast and can highly recommend the rest areas – whether for a short break or a longer stop.

Large, comfortable, quiet parking, especially for us 7.5 tons, clean shower, food, gas station, everything is 5+

Very large with plenty of parking. Well laid out.

There you can refuel, eat, and even take a break if you're passing through. There are plenty of parking spaces, even for trucks. Prices are affordable.

Very clean restrooms and a nice playground for the little ones!

Everything was great. Nice and clean, and there was plenty of choice for food and other things.

Large, clean and a great view of Kassel.

The ladies at the cash register were very nice :) the showers were clean and tidy

Just like a roadside restaurant, but the service is not very smooth. The food is good.

Clean toilets and small breakfast selection

Room was good, breakfast was rather mediocre

Every time we drive north or south we change drivers halfway through the journey. Pleasant rest area.

Good rest area, very busy with trucks on weekends and at night

Very great rest stop. Lots of parking for us truckers. Clean toilets and showers. The staff is very nice

Also good food and clean toilets

Quite neat for a German rest area

I don't know if it was due to my delay, but they made me wait a long time (2 hours) compared to the fact that the price was urgent. Several Hungarians work at the depot, they are good people and helpful! There is a toilet!

Best rest area - clean and well maintained, feels like a vacation

Everything was okay, toilets were clean

Good shower 3€, big room, clean. Very large parking lot, plenty of space. Good for everyone.

Clean, friendly staff, and plenty of charging points for my electric car. I'll see you again on my next trip to or from the eastern states.

Large, spacious rest area, very clean, super friendly staff, clean Sanifair restrooms. Standard gas station amenities.

Clean toilets, food and drink was good. We didn't have to wait. Prices are normal for a rest stop.

Good rooms and breakfast, staff very friendly and welcoming

The driveway needs an extra confusion trainer because it is so confusing

Very cozy, with free baby changing facility and children's toilet. Very well equipped, but would be even better if the changing table and room were cleaned more often.

Clean in a neat place. Large parking lot for trucks

Very large rest area with lots of truck parking spaces. Always good!

Large and very confusing facility.

Spacious and reasonably clean rest area

Large station and good fuel prices.

Difficult arrival. Not pleasant

Always nice and friendly. Food and drinks are very good. The restaurant closes at 8.30 p.m. I think it's a bit of a shame, but where are all the staff supposed to come from? Please understand this.

The parking lot is huge, there is always space. Access from A7 from any direction. I am very pleased with the condition of the free toilet in the parking lot. New, clean. A lot of colleagues spend a break here on the weekends. Shops are 3.5 km away and there is a penny, and a road with obstacles. Things are going well with the trash cans. I recommend it.

The "upper" parking lot is supposedly only for passenger cars, but large "boars" also pack there because it is full downstairs. There are tables, there is a place to sit. The night passed peacefully

Nice big truck parking. It is well lit.

An expensive motorway service station...

Huge parking lot :) Shower, toilet and Burger King.

Large parking lot for many trucks

Great diaper changing room (with heater!) and play area for little kids.

Last refueling 1.73/l Currently 2.24€/l. Of course I should have been careful, but this is indecent usury. 500m away is a Shell gas station with 1.73€/l. Disgusting.

Very good children's changing room. Clean toilets.

It has a very large truck park and social facilities, there are WC and showers, the restaurant is clean and tidy, the staff is friendly and helpful.

1Euro toilet is unfair. The voucher is only good for reducing excessive prices in the shop.

Excellent place, recommendation for cooperation.

A little break on the way on a long journey is always possible and there is also a toilet

We have already stopped here twice on the way between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony to visit family. The selection of dishes, whether morning or evening, is really good, the prices are fair and the staff are friendly and committed. The ADAC member discount is another bonus. Will definitely come back.

Desolate and empty, an inhospitable, lonely and hospitable place. The food on offer: bad fast food. I felt more comfortable in the toilet than in the guest room, at least there was pleasant music.

Clean and enough parking spaces

Clean, easy access, good snacks on the go. Car parking could be closer to the entrance.

Nothing going on!! Weird sandwiches on display.

Good day. Why do your employees refuse to accept tickets when paying for a shower? An employee always accepts, but a Russian-speaking woman refuses

So I for one am happy with and about this rest stop. There are more than enough parking spaces available in the evenings and mornings (from Thursday to Friday, November 22nd, 2024). Of course, the route from the parking lot to the rest stop isn't exactly short, but I think some drivers find the exercise quite good. Showers are very spacious if a bit dark, but the clothes don't stay dry like in other more modern rest stops... all in all I had a hot shower, was able to shave properly and I was also able to get a coffee for the usual rest stop prices. Anyone who still wants to complain has simply looked for the wrong job or should just go to the toilet at home.

Vegan only until 8 p.m. - as if they could stop their hunger with the clock

A large parking lot, but often crowded so that trucks are even parked at the roundabout. Free toilets are often so dirty that you can't even go inside. Toilet at the station 1 euro.

Really big and plenty of space for drivers and trucks. The gas station and the restaurant are clean and well maintained. The prices are like everywhere else on the highway

Parking lot beautifully and intricately built.

It is ok. Clean inside and friendly service. The prices are a little steep. A good place to make a pit stop
