I am normally very partial to the American hotel breakfast. At the same time, I am aware of the fact that many hotels are scaling back in both scope and ambition. Nevertheless, this one was rather disappointing. Very limited choice, essentially cereal, disappointing bread (and bagels admittedly) as well as…
I asked at check-in which lounge (British Airways, Qantas or Cathay Pacific) had the best breakfast and was told Cathay. This is menu only (there is a nice buffet bar as well but not for the restaurant). The menu was very attractive, good choices of Eastern (obviously) and Western food,…
In all honesty, I cannot say that this is the worst breakfast I have reviewed. But in terms of what might have been, it comes pretty close. Maybe because I am also so disappointed in the hotel (this was not my first choice, the hotel originally booked closed down permanently…
A relatively small but also relatively varied breakfast buffet. Good cold cuts and cheese, reasonable selection of fresh fruit and very nice bread, as well as nice-looking cakes. For those who like porridge, they had that too. However, the warm dishes did not look not particularly appetising, and the juice…
Breakfast might have been slightly curtailed by the fact that the three of us in our party were probably the only guests in the hotel. However, we did get a buffet, made specially for us, if perhaps somewhat minimalist. The bread and the cold cuts and cheese were nice, there…
Italian hotel breakfasts are not among on my particular favourites. The bread is usually boring, the cold cuts probably all right, generally it’s pretty much run of the mill. The attitude seems to be, “here is some food to eat before you go out”, but no more than that. That…
They’d forgotten to tell Hotels.com that they were closed over the holidays. With this said, we’ve received very nice and welcoming treatment. There are 8 rooms of various size, all nice and warm with comfy beds.When we told them that we don’t eat pork, the breakfast buffe was enriched with delicius left-overs…
Let’s start with the positive: there is a contraption for squeezing your oranges. As for the rest, this breakfast, sad to say, confirmed my views on French hotel breakfasts in general. Yes, the bread was fresh. But, very limited choice of fruit, no vegetables, not much in terms of cheese…
This is the one hundredth entry on the Stein Brothers Travel Breakfast Blog since it began in late 2017! Please feel free to contribute entries. I am normally not very impressed by French hotel breakfasts (there are exceptions; after all, one of my favourite breakfasts was in France, as outlined…
I am running out of superlatives for Swedish breakfasts. So, to be brief: this one had all the ‘standard’ items (including herring and salmon). In addition, they had reindeer steak! The scrambled eggs were very nice, although the bacon was disappointing. I didn’t try the pancakes or the croissants, but…
