An apartment with its own entrance for up to three people. In the evening you leave the crowds behind for a quiet street, in the morning the shuttle bus takes you to the park. The stop is a 5-minute walk away.

When you book through this site, I don’t pay a platform commission. I pass that on to you: booking directly costs at least 10% less than on Airbnb and Booking.com. You also get my tips for your day at the park.
You book right here on this page. You can pay by PayPal or credit card, among others.
On top of that come €20 cleaning per stay and Brühl’s 5% accommodation tax. A third person costs €23 extra per night, children up to 3 stay free. You can cancel free of charge until 11:59 pm on the fourth day before arrival, so if you arrive on 7 November, until 3 November. After that, or if you don’t arrive, I keep the full price and refund only the cleaning fee. If I can still let some of the nights, you get the amount for those nights back, and the full amount if I can let all of them. There is no minimum stay.
Check datesFrom the apartment you walk 400 metres to the shuttle stop on Comesstraße, about 5 minutes on foot. The stop has been moved there because of construction work.
From there, the shuttle bus takes you to Phantasialand and back the same way.
According to Phantasialand, the return trip costs €6 per person. Children up to 1 metre tall ride free.
The shuttle only runs during the park’s regular opening hours. You’ll find the timetable on the Phantasialand website.
Through town it’s 5.2 km and about 12 minutes, via the motorway 10.1 km and about 13 minutes. According to Phantasialand, parking at the park costs €8 per day and car.
Prices as of November 2026.
On Wilhelmstraße you can park for 2 hours. Within about a 5-minute walk there are parking spaces without a time limit. If it ever gets difficult, message me and I’ll offer you our driveway. I can’t promise you a fixed parking space.
If you want to ride as many attractions as possible, be at the entrance before the park opens. The most popular roller coasters often have the shortest queues in the morning. That way you can enjoy your first rides before the queues fill up.
Start your day with the most popular rides such as Taron, F.L.Y. or Black Mamba. They are among the most visited in the park and often have the longest queues, especially in the afternoon.
Between 12 and 2 pm many visitors are in the restaurants. Use this time for rides and have lunch earlier or later. You’ll save valuable time and queue less.
Visiting on a weekday outside the school holidays usually means much shorter queues and a more relaxed day at the park.
26 m² under wooden beams, with lots of light and a red glass wall as an eye-catcher. The entrance and the hallway are yours alone, with room for jackets, shoes and suitcases.
There is no proper kitchen. For breakfast there is a small fridge (42 litres), a Senseo coffee machine, a kettle, microwave, toaster, crockery and cutlery. In the morning you put used dishes in a box in the hallway, and in the evening they are back, clean.
Our dog runs around in the garden, but is never allowed into the apartment. If you have allergies, let me know beforehand. Smoking, parties and pets are not allowed.
Brühler Nest is a new name, but the apartment isn’t new. On the platforms it is called Apartment Wilhelmstr.

I’ve lived in Brühl with my family for many years. When we travel, we like to stay privately, because a hotel often feels too impersonal and locals give you the best tips first-hand. That’s how we want it to be for our guests too. Just message me if you have questions about your day at the park or about Brühl.

You don’t have to come for the park. From Brühl station it’s about 20 minutes to Cologne and the trade fair grounds, and about 15 minutes to Bonn. Trains run three times an hour, plus light rail line 18 every 10 minutes during the day.
That suits Koelnmesse and Gamescom, concerts at the Lanxess Arena and the Cologne Carnival. In the evening you head back to Brühl, away from the crowds.
Right on the doorstep is the palace park with its World Heritage palaces, and the town centre is within walking distance.
5.2 km through town, about 12 minutes by car. Without a car, you walk about 5 minutes to the stop on Comesstraße and take the shuttle bus from there.
For example at the Brühler Nest in Brühl. The apartment is not part of the park; you stay privately with a family and have your own entrance.
Not for the park, as long as the shuttle bus is running. You can reach Cologne and Bonn by train and light rail.
On Wilhelmstraße for 2 hours, and without a time limit within about a 5-minute walk. If there is a problem, I can offer you our driveway.

To make your arrival and departure as relaxed as possible, check-in is from 3 pm and check-out is by 10 am. I’d be very happy to get a short message with your planned arrival time. If you’d like to arrive earlier or stay longer, just let me know in advance and I’ll check whether that’s possible.
