This hotel was once the Paul U Bergström (PUB) department store. One famous customer was Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as Lenin. On his famous journey to Petrograd (in a “sealed“ carriage), he briefly stopped in Stockholm and bought an umbrella here. PUB also employed a young sales girl called…
A mixture of buffet and a menu from which you can order. The buffet is relatively plain (croissants in plastic), the menu is fairly limited. The only warm dishes are the Hotel (English) Breakfast, but it was possible to order parts of it for those who don’t fancy the whole…
An interesting breakfast buffet. On the positive, a nice spread of Nordic breakfast. Good choice of bread (including waffles, but unremarkable Danish pastry), some fairly standard hot dishes (but the scrambled eggs were very nice indeed and the bacon was crispy) and a variety of salmon, cold cuts and vegetables.…
A fairly large and varied buffet. Good choice of hot and cold dishes, cereals, fruit (cut and uncut) and yoghurts. Herring, of course. A small egg station. Nice variety of breads. The Danish pastries (known as ‘Viennese bread’ in Denmark and Sweden) looked delicious. There was a choice of gluten-free…
I always find it more difficult to rate a la carte breakfasts than buffets. With buffets, I can (and do, purely out of dedication to my readers!) sample lots of dishes. With a la carte, it’s obviously more a hit and miss story, where you are dependent on your one…
Having decided that I’m not into preparing breakfast for myself when I stay in a relatively expensive hotel (see my previous posting), I went to a nearby café. It was perfectly fine, friendly staff, very good service. I will not say that it was outstanding, but, given the type of…
For more than £200 per night, ”breakfast included”, this is what you get. Make your own breakfast. I did not and went to the nearest café instead. 0/10.
The Full East Anglian Breakfast was a solid start to the day. The fried eggs were the pick of the bunch with crispy edges and still runny yolks. These are the type of fried eggs you aim for but can never quite make at home. The sausage had a great…
A relatively small, but nevertheless very varied and good breakfast. The bread is excellent and there is a good choice. Also, a nice spread of cold cuts and vegetables, as well as of cereal and various dried fruits and nuts etc to put in your yoghurt. Good choice of cut-up…
An excellent breakfast. A good choice of warm and cold dishes. The warm dishes include the standard ones, but also some Polish specialties, such as roast apples or dumplings with apricots (very yummy). Cold dishes or a nice, with varied spread of salads, cheese, cold cuts including both herring and…
