Scandic Malmen, Stockholm, Sweden, 9 June 2024

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 good, and yet there was an impression of slight tiredness over the whole breakfast. I can’t pinpoint it, but my guest felt exactly the same and we agreed on verdict of 6.5/10. In other words, by no means bad, but certainly not extraordinary or spectacular.
