A fairly typical Nordic hotel buffet breakfast. In other words, a good choice across the board. Loose-leaf tea, always a plus. The pancakes were good as was the ‘normal’ bread, although the croissants were sub-par. This is one of those breakfasts that are difficult to judge. The choice was certainly…
This one was a difficult judgement. A very varied spread, although as is generally the case in Europe, no concession to non-western breakfast styles. I was particularly impressed by the Healthy Corner (the pickled Camembert was nice), and there were also gluten-free dishes on offer. My pictures don’t cover everything,…
I have said it before, and I will no doubt repeat it again. Even a small Nordic hotel will provide you with an excellent breakfast. This is an unpretentious, fairly small (40 rooms) hotel, yet the breakfast is very good indeed. Excellent choice of fresh bread, vegetables and cheeses, cold…
Simply put, this is not a good breakfast. The set-up is what I would call a semi-buffet. You take fruit and bread, granola and nuts from the buffet, then you order anything else from a very limited menu (three choices). The tea is bags only, of course. There is no…
As usual, I find it more difficult to rate a breakfast when it is not a buffet. That being said, this was quite nice. A decent choice on the menu, including Continental breakfast, English breakfast and typical Costa Rican breakfast. You can also order individual dishes. There is a plate…
Let it be said in the beginning: this is an excellent breakfast buffet. Furnitures and the general setting is stylish and functional Scandinavian. No disturbing background music and very attentive staff making sure that everything is always in order. Each category of food — bread, hot food, cold cuts and cereals —…
I am not sure what I have expected, but I was certainly positively surprised. A very nice buffet, not huge, but very varied. Again, plenty of warm dishes, mainly standard American but also local, nice cold cuts, fruit and vegetables. The bread was disappointing, but this is presumably not a…
Basically, a stripped-down version of the offering in the equivalent lounge at Heathrow terminal 5. And when I say stripped-down, I mean, definitely not as good. Not much choice, the croissants were soggy, the scrambled eggs too dry and the bread was unimaginative. 4/10
A small hotel in the outskirts of Södertälje, situated between the Syrian Orthodox Church and an enormous wedding hall. The breakfast includes most of what you’d ask for. The bread is fresh and comes in several varieties. There are youghurt products with or with sugar, lactose or milk. The meat…
A small and rather disappointing buffet. On the positive side, the bread is freshly baked and varied (although some kinds ran out), and there is plenty of fruit and vegetables. But the coffee maker was repeatedly malfunctioning; there were no warm dishes apart from boiled eggs; and the cold cuts…
