Our hotel room was a short walk from the check in desk/restaurant. The room was on the third floor and was spacious had private bath and shower. Check out was easy enough we were told to just leave the key in the room when we leave. The bus direct to phantasialand was a few minutes walk from the hotel and directly in front of the train station.

If there is only one hotel left in the area to stay in perhaps try somewhere other than here. The rooms were like cheap student accommodation with tatty mismatched furniture and felt very grubby. The rooms had the stale smell of nicotine and we got a few bites in the bed. Breakfast was an overpriced continental breakfast of a few rolls some meat and some cheese. Should have googled bakeries before making the decision. Staff were friendly though. I’m frustrated that I did not raise my concerns with the management personally but in all honesty i will put it down to a holiday experience and we were short of time and no one was available at the time of the check out

Finding the place is a challenge as Brühl is largely pedestrianised but it’s in a lovely tucked away corner of the main drag and parking (an additional extra) is just along the next street, fenced and seemingly secure. The manager/ proprietor was very welcoming and was at the time working the restaurant, an apparent jewel in the crown of the town. We had breakfast here which was a top dining experience, plentiful and served by a lovely gentleman. The kids were not so keen on the general offering which makes me believe that they don’t really cater for them- the price was 12.90€ regardless.. for us. Great value, for children - they’d only eat the bread and jam and the boiled egg so maybe not so. The rooms were more apartment style with a balcony with table and canopy. Clean and well appointed but, because mosquitoes wear goggles in Germany, the windows had to be closed so air conditioning would be really welcomed or at least a fan. I didn’t sleep well, I was way too hot.. the only sticking point really. All in all a great experience and we’d return without hesitation (if you put a fan in!!!). Perfect for Phantasialand.. 5 minutes drive away.

Dirty mattresses (bedbugs.

Lovely room with kind staff.

Basic room, good value for money, nice breakfast and staff attentive.

Stayed in Bruhl for football in Cologne. Staff were friendly and even went with my friend to show him where to park the car. Good value for a very spacious apartment.

Good place for a nightstop. For instance, for a city trip to Köln. Also Brühl is(surprisingly) worth visiting for a weekend.
