Steigenberger Grandhotel & Spa Petersberg

Lovely hotel in a very unique setting high above the Rhine with spectacular views. Room was very good size, very clean, modern but classy. Overall the hotel is expensive but you expect that given the location and quality. We enjoyed our stay but would mention three issue points: 1) The hotel is quite isolated but on arrival we could not get booked for dinner. This was a major shock. However, eventually we were offered a table at a time which was suitable. Dinner was very good. 2) If the restaurant is full you cannot eat in the hotel Bistro as this closes at 6.30 pm. This seems silly and I would have thought the bistro could be used for simpler meals/young families.3) There had been a little morning rain although by the afternoon it was a lovely warm sunny day. We asked for tea on the Bistro terrace to enjoy the wonderful view but were told this was not possible as the terrace was closed by management order due to the wet. This was ridiculous as it was now very warm and dry and if a guest asks for tea on the terrace then that's what they should get. Management should address. However, in overall terms a very nice stay.
