Ein magischer Ort. Wir kommen wieder.
Pros:

Wunderbare Anreise per Schiff.
Wunderschöne Lage, sehr einfühlsam renoviert.
Aber Achtung: Es ist ein ehemaliges Kloster, d.h. einfach und schlicht. Wer Luxus erwartet, ist da am falschen Ort. Der Ort lebt von der Lage und der reichen Geschichte, sowie vom netten Service. Essen war gut. Der weisse Wein von der Petersinsel sogar hervorragend.

Cons:

Die ganze Nacht über leider lauter Motorenlärm vom Bauernhof nebenan (Gebläse für Heu-Trocknung?) Schade, da es ein Ort der Stille sein sollte.

Despite really enjoying our stay, the price differential left a bad taste and we won’t be returning.
Pros:

Wonderful peaceful location, beautiful historical building, very friendly staff

Cons:

Paying 25% more than had I booked directly. The rooms are very basic and the extra I paid made it very bad value for money. And to add insult the hotel tried to charge us city tax on check out for which we had already been billed.
Communication with the hotel before arrival was poor. They never replied to messages over the booking app and I was totally spammed, 10 automatically generated messages via text and WhatsApp.

Mysigt hotell, men utan bilväg fram.
Pros:

Historisk miljö. Trevlig personal. Ligger i ett lugnt naturvårdsområde utan trafik.

Hotell St Petersinsel är ett äldre ombyggt tidigare Kloster. Vissa delar är bevarade men ombyggnader och renoveringar har gjorts, så det finns egen dusch och toalett på många rum. Lite knarrande trappor och gamla bevarade trägolv finns dock kvar och ger en gemytlig känsla till hela upplevelsen.
Hit kommer inte så många internationella gäster, när jag frågar i receptionen.
All information, inklusive Menyn i restaurangen, finns bara på Tyska eller Franska, så vi har lite problem att förstå vad vi skall beställa. 😀
Personalen är dock mycket hjälpsamma och vissa pratar bra engelska.

Cons:

Att det i Bookins system inte framgår att det inte går att köra bil till Hotellet.

INNAN MAN BOKAR ETT RUM, behöver man dock vara helt klar över att hotellet ligger på en Ö, Insel, Island. Man får INTE ta med sig bilen, utan behöver åka färja, Taxibåt, eller gå en lång promenad. Ca 1 timma eller 4,5 km. (Det finns en liten bro.) Detta hade vi missat och fick en rejäl överraskning.
Vi hade dock våra vandringsryggsäckar i bilen, så vi packade om lite och gick sedan en långpromenad i fint väder.

För övrigt en härlig men lite speciell upplevelse med god mat och bra sängar.

Nelle camere mansardate all'ultimo piano si sente un rumore/vibrazione che proviene probabilmente da un impianto di ventilazione. Giorno e notte, molto fastidioso
