A shortish review of some sauna fcailties of Hotel Kastenholz, a 4 star rural hotel in the village of Wershofen, Eifel, Germany.
Available were one indoor sauna and one outdoor sauna.
For reasons unknown both were the same temperature whereas the bio sauna (indoors), which could have been less hotter (than 85ºC), was not turned on. Hmmm.
Both sauna's rather small but otherwise nice.
There is also a steamroom. And the usual showering facilities.
Furthermore on the same floor are relax facilities, outdoors as well. Though the view (which could have been magnificent) is hidden by a small hill. Also meaning no one also can look in.
Upstairs is a small swimming pool and more relax facilities
Everything is very much an add-on to the hotel facilities: it's there, but if all guests decide to enjoy, it will swiftly become overcrowded.
Management also seem to have a laissez-faire attitude. Can the swimming pool be used naked? Can the sauna be used clothed? Or is both possible?
Possibly.
The swim results in some light irritation to my skin (I'm chloride allergic) due to high chloride levels. So either they are using chloride just in case or are those swimming simply not so clean? In the latter case, it's not so nice to know that those swimmers also use the sauna .....
My score, a 7,5 based on the light winter traffic. Possibly not worth of a repeat.
Do note that the surroundings of the hotel are very picturesque, and very walkable.
There are other reviews, though these mostly concern the hotel, chucking in the odd mention of a sauna.
- 4.4 stars from google (480+ reviews)
- 4 stars tripadvisor (80+ reviews)
'dem Wellnessbereich fehlte der Charm'
- 8,6 booking.com (80+ reviews)
'Sauna rule (nacktbereich)should be more strict. (now swim wear and no swim wear people mixed)'.
