4-Sterne-Superior Hotel Calamus in Kehl

This is a very good hotel - but there is one significant issue and that is the lack of transparency about the pool only being able to be used by nudists. We arrived at the hotel and it was 39 degrees - don’t worry I said to my wife we have a hotel with an outdoor pool. We were told at reception it was 10 Euro to access the spa and pool and the.n that we would have to do so without fabric - a German tradition we were told. This was really upsetting for my wife who folllowing a second case of Breast Cancer had been given a double mastectomy with reconstruction and was not comfortable or confident being naked in public. When I shared this point with the reception there was no empathy - rules are rules. All of this significant upset could have been avoided if the Expedia website and the hotel website were clearer and more transparent about the pool access being dependent on wearing no swimwear. If we had known this we would have booked another hotel. Anyway the rest of the hotel was very good - but please be transparent and upfront about this requirement.

Room was clean and i did take studio suite which was excellent, PS there were free drinks with beer, wine, cold drinks and juice with nuts and chocolates, by the way these will refilled next day if its finished all included if you book suite which was excellent. Beds were ok but they only provide single duvet which is a big let off.
