This is the best breakfast so far on our journey through Xinjiang. In addition to the standard choice of Chinese dishes, there are also some Western (including croissants) and halal options. The choice of warm dishes and salads is good, and there is an egg bar. And the tea is…
Difficult for me to rate, as I have no frames of reference and have never been served a four-course breakfast before. The tea was bags only (Earl Okej) and served from a pot, the apple juice was probably freshly squeezed. The breakfast was rounded off with blueberry sorbet with lime…
This hotel is from the same chain as some of the others we have stayed in on this trip. It is very standardised (and very good). There is therefore not much new to say about the breakfast. However, one of the party in particular like the fried noodles; and as…
This one is difficult for me to judge. There is absolutely no concession at all to Western taste. This is not a criticism, nor is it surprising. In the one week I have so far been in Xinjiang, I have seen exactly two foreigners. But it does mean that, regardless…
This is a perfectly decent, average breakfast. And yet I am still going to mark it down slightly. That is not as strange as it sounds. Again, judging it by local standards, it is an ample buffet, with quite a lot of choice. Good spread of warm dishes, including rice…
You have to judge a breakfast, not only against your tastes and preferences, but also against local breakfast culture. This is true; but is it also the start of a bad review? Not sure. This was a reasonable buffet, very heavy on the local (Chinese, not Uighur) food with a…
My initial impression was that this was a small breakfast buffet. As I began to look around for more, I realised that it was actually quite sizeable. Good choice of both local (Chinese) and Western dishes. Surprisingly, the croissants were very nice, as was the bread. The bacon was very…
The breakfast room in this hotel is somewhat peculiar. It is quite dark, and it is not quite open plan. It is therefore easy to get lost until you realise what the layout is. That being said, a very nice breakfast. Excellent scrambled eggs with chives, crispy bacon, Swedish sausages,…
A fairly conventional French hotel breakfast. That is to say, a small buffet, some nice bread, cold cuts and cheese. Tea was bags only and the croissants, while not bad, were average at best. The scrambled eggs were a disappointment and the fruit selection was weak. There isn’t much else…
This was never going to be a spectacular breakfast. The inn (värdshus is Swedish for inn) is on a small island used mainly for parties or by those following the archipelagic trail. Nevertheless, once again, even a very small offering can be excellent. True, the choice was limited: two types…
