trafohaus am Kaiserbahnhof

The location of the hotel is a bit outside of the city of Bruehl. Actually it is a kind of private house beside a former train station. Unfortunately there is nothing in walkway distance to the hotel, only the restaurant, which is also quite good. The hotel is almost in a forrest, so the area is very quiet. Even the trains you cannot hear in the rooms. The staff of the hotel is very nice and friendly. The rooms are big enough even for a long term stay. The room we had, was in the first floor and offers a door to the outside balcony or terrace. So very convenient, when you have bigger and heavy luggage. The breakfast was acceptable. No buffet, but therefore personally prepared by the hotel staff. At least the breakfast is nice and enough for the morning. They offer almost everything you can expect from such a family-run hotel. Parking is directly in front of the hotel and free of charge. Price-performance-ratio is good, even we find the price a little bit high for such a hotel. Anyhow they offer a very personal and friendly service. All in all we can say, that the hotel is a nice, quiet and clean place. Good for a short and long term stay. From this location you can travel to Cologne within 30 minutes by car. The hotel is in a quiet location which gives you a good sleep in the night. Good for walking in the forest, if you have time and like it. Feeling a little bit like home.
