Tank & Rast Raststätte Vellern in Beckum

Fries were super tasty and toilets very clean

4:40 p.m. the shop is closed, I do not recommend it

Very nice ladies at the rest stop. The cappuccino is delicious. It's a great place to stop and rest.

Price-performance ratio is okay, cleanliness is ok

A truly great rest stop! I've rarely seen such a clean place, equipped with trash cans. I was impressed by the charm of the rest stop, both inside and out. The restrooms were clean, and the staff were very friendly and approachable. Modern furnishings, which also surprised me. The food was freshly prepared and something different than regular MC food. The electric charging stations also worked perfectly. I'm traveling with my mother and will always stop at this rest stop on the way to see family.

Small motel, the public restrooms, like those at many other rest stops, aren't exactly clean. Some stall doors don't lock. I had to check all the doors until I found one that worked. It's just about enough for a quickie.

The restaurant was okay, the restrooms were clean. The service when buying drinks was friendly. Prices were market standard.

We always make our pee break here heading north, always clean toilets.

Nice, clean, old rest stop, something different from all modern rest stops

Food like at any rest stop. The space is small, and there's only one person on site who has to do everything.

Highly recommended, clean rest area and especially very clean toilets.

Highway...stop for toilet and continue

Delicious sandwiches, chocolate, ice cream, French fries. Toilet €1,00

Please note: the restroom was closed at 5:30 PM on a Thursday! The restroom, located in the same old, typical restroom building, was open. The stars are for the clean, well-maintained restroom (for men and women). The gentleman who looks after it is obviously trying to make the best of the situation. Yes, my review is completely the opposite of a review from two months ago. Perhaps they changed staff and cleaned/repaired it in the meantime?

Someone wrote that there is a shop nearby in the village = you don't have to go, there isn't one

I think it's a real shame that it's already closed at 7 p.m. As a truck driver, I rely on these larches for a fresh meal.

The toilets are much better than all the serways toilets, which also cost one euro

Clean toilets, we were here twice and each time the restaurant and the shop were closed and nowhere did we find opening hours

Very nice rest area and very friendly staff.

Exceptionally friendly and courteous service—something you rarely experience! Friendly, attentive, and warm.

An absolute disaster. It smelled inside like it looked outside: like week-old French fry grease. The snack selection was minimal, and I couldn't pay with a card. So I backed out without any food, and it took me a while to get the smell out of my mind. I only stop here now when I want to charge my car.

Renovation, Dixieland instead of toilet

Not a Sanifair, but a cleaning man. They charge a €1 cleaning fee. You don't get a voucher for the restaurant! They don't offer the ADAC discount (10%) either. So the latte macchiato really costs €4.99! Unfortunately, the waitress thought my reusable cup was too high. It wouldn't fit under the coffee machine because the spray arm was still lowering. So I had to use a disposable cup. Only to find out that my reusable cup would have easily fit under it after the arm had lowered. What a shame, I had to create completely pointless waste. The rest area doesn't have enough parking spaces for trucks. The driveway is full of parked trucks, which is very dangerous.

Small kitchen, but delicious. Accessible ♿️

Nice and friendly staff, toilets are clean

Super rest stop, highly recommended 👍👍👍

There is only the toilet, the rest is closed

Very clean toilets, good coffee

They also have charging for the electric car

The parking lot itself is just like a parking lot. But an extremely inadequate woman works in a store-restaurant. I have never encountered such an attitude towards a client.

Very old-fashioned rest house - no gas station, but good fast chargers.

Staff very nice eat good Toilets clean, I'm very satisfied

I was just here because I just needed to go to the toilet “quickly” – a big mistake. The women's room was closed, so EVERYONE had to go to the men's room - without notice, without apology. The employee in charge, a grim-looking guy with tattooed hands, was anything but friendly. Instead of helping, he snapped at me in a rude tone: “Everyone has to go to the men’s room!” What awaited me there was truly DISGUSTING! The toilet was apparently “cleaned” – everything was sprayed wet with a water hose, no matter where. Result: splattered walls, soaked floors, smudges everywhere and old stickers and writing that no one has removed in ages. Why isn't this cleaned properly? This could be done quickly with a simple cleaner - but apparently hygiene is of secondary importance here. It stinks, it sticks, it drips. You feel like you're in a run-down train station toilet - but are you supposed to pay for that?! The icing on the cake: When I briefly looked into a technical room on the way out, the employee snapped at me: “Why are you looking so stupid?” Are you crazy? Friendliness = none! Conclusion: Unfriendly staff, catastrophic cleanliness, no respect for the guests. I have rarely felt so uncomfortable at a rest stop. Never again! A place to run away from! Rating: 0 out of 5 stars! This rest stop is a real indictment. Pooh! – A shame for Autobahn GmbH! – Not a place for families! – No place for people with dignity! – Not a place you want to visit a second time! Pure toilet hell! 🚫🚽🤢👎

Only cash euros are needed for the shower and toilet.

Things change in 30 years 🤷‍♂️ It was very good back then, today it's a classic "tank & rest" facility. Unfortunately, the crispy schnitzel with fries is apparently equally bad everywhere. At least where I have had it on my plate so far at T&R systems. Laced with sinew, the fries were obviously sizzled in old fat. The staff on site is very nice and it was clean, otherwise it would only have been given one star.

Restaurant was closed on a Thursday afternoon

A parking lot not much different from an ordinary savage. The night passed peacefully.

The parking lot is quite ok, but in general it smacks of dirt, as in Germany. There is nothing like Polish stations and parking lots.

So far it's okay for a short break

We only used the toilet, a nice older gentleman kept it in good condition and very clean

An old horrible mess where you pay a euro for the toilet that stinks and where you get nothing in return like in any other raststätte

Friendly, competent staff! You can't get the €1 for the toilet back, but a nice, older gentleman will keep the sanitary facilities tidy! Always my pleasure!

Why isn't it mentioned that the place is closed? Really bad

Clean and friendly staff. Perfect for a break

Quite a nice place for Germany.

Very familiar, relaxed break, no mass processing. Food cooked by yourself. Clean toilets.

Paid WC and shower. There is also a cafeteria. You can go further along R to the exposition dedicated to the bridge.

Bad place, don't recommend it At the checkout, a nasty Polish girl doesn’t like everything Worst place in Germany

Toilets on the go are the be-all and end-all

Very nice employees, where you can get an espresso on the motorway for under €3

Not a bad place // Geen slechte plek in Duitsland

The Alte Mühle service area in Vellern pleasantly surprised me. The ambience is not particularly appealing, which is why I deducted a star, but you should not forget that it is “just” a rest area. Particularly noteworthy is the lady at the counter, who is super friendly, relaxed and warm - she is reminiscent of a real mother who lovingly takes care of everything. The food is quite expensive, but it is prepared with a lot of love and tastes really excellent. Many other rest stops could learn a lesson here! The toilets are also commendable: very clean, although with a fee of 1 euro. Overall, a rest stop that I would happily recommend!

Stretch your legs for a moment after the traffic jam

A really nice cozy old-fashioned place! Super friendly service, food (I had crispy schnitzel) is delicious, you immediately feel like you are traveling back in time, but in the best possible way. It's a shame that there aren't too many people here (at least today). Hopefully we can come by often! The charging stations next door also work perfectly.

Moderate prices like on the highway

Unloading firewood storage, long pile is not possible

A small rest area, I feel like I'm sleeping in Sleeping Beauty. Super friendly staff, toilet really clean, no mass processing. Here you can relax and take a break

Unfortunately the service there is alone and completely overwhelmed with 4 meals at the same time. The currywurst was also very borderline. The fries were ok

Clear and good stopping/parking options

I don't understand it. Why can't people get it in the middle of nowhere and there's no card payment? The Leite don't feel like having the toilet or drinking anything.

I dont know about restqurant but there was no toilet. And the area was not clean.

A shower costs PLN 3, watch out for the gypsy, he gives the change in leva! Instead of euros

Quiet parking, but I don’t know if they have a toilet

Very friendly service and the food was very tasty

Neat and clean with nice and courteous service - gladly again!

Just like 30 years ago. No improvement. That looked sad. Not worth keeping.

My personal opinion; There truly are more beautiful places in the world. The lady who is responsible for the cleanliness of the ceramics department did her job perfectly and was also very friendly!

Nice service, relatively moderate prices. Gladly again.

Very friendly and nice team. The food (champion schnitzel, fries) was also very tasty, which I can't say about other rest stops. The prices of all rest stops cannot be compared with restaurant prices, here I found the price to be okay as a rest stop price.

Before discussing the taste of the food, the quality of the food is just terrible. It's the worst restaurant I've ever been to at a highway rest stop. The food prices are too high for the quality of the food. It's not even worth giving one star.

Narrow offering and no filling station for combustion engines

Fries schnitzel. Drinks, €17.80 I snagged the small bag of mayonnaise, similar in size to the mustard, for €1. Food very simple, taste moderate

Shop, bistro, restaurant area and sanitary facilities very clean. Staff is helpful, competent and very friendly

Stopped by chance on the way to Bochum, nice service (double by Katy Karrenbauer, but only insiders understand it), good selection of dishes

Good refueling, a lot of selection of goods.

Only suitable for going to the toilet

Not bad for a motorway service station.

Small rest area, clean but nothing special

Like every other rest area in the country, overpriced.

The shower hasn't worked for 2 weeks!

There is no toilet, you can get water

Unfortunately very small, expensive portions.

Parking spaces directly in front of the entrance

Desolate in the evening...everything is closed

It was normal from Friday to Monday without incident, if the toilet at the forester would have been five stars, there were a lot of free places on Saturday, shops are 5 km away, walking along the road for pedestrians is classy

Avoid this parking lot!!! 17.01.2024 stopped for 9 hours. They blew gas, cut the awning and stole the goods.

Clean. Friendly. Travel-related offer. Significantly better than the “connected” rest stops.

I can't say much, I just took a quick break here

Cold tap water like everywhere in the West

Good rest stop for a quick break. Very important: clean toilets. It's all ok.

Simple, but friendly and quiet.

We only stopped here briefly to use the toilet.

Unbelievable but true: there is a monument to German architecture here! The first (? 1938) bridge with a prestressed concrete ceiling - that's how I understood it. The monument stands somewhat inconspicuously in the middle of the site on the edge. Of course it's covered in graffiti, but it's accessible. Definitely interesting for architects!

Parking for trucks maximum 50 places, WC 1euro

Toilet 0.50€ 24/7, shower 3€ clean and spacious, there were a lot of free spaces in the parking lot on Saturday

I parked the truck in the morning at 7 o'clock, enough free places, I don't know how it is in the evening. It's not the fault of the administration, it's also the drivers without home education, it smells bad to urinate in the parking lot, but probably if there was a toilet for the parking lot, the situation would be different. About the restaurant only fast-food type food, 1€ access to the toilet (very clean) 5€ for the shower.

I just spent the night there, parking lot

I was there today and I have to say I won't go there again. The seller wasn't very nice, even unpleasant, and the food was dry, but he didn't skimp on the salt because you could eat it with salt. I don't recommend avoiding this place. Plus the prices are sky high.

For me it was good here, but I only used the toilets. Everything clean👍

A large parking lot, a restaurant, a shop and a gas station are nearby
