You get what you pay for. In this case, a small 2-star hotel near the Lille Eurostar station. Breakfast was a tray with everything pre-loaded. The croissant was a bit soggy, the baguette was fresh (I should think so too!) Still, 3/5.
The bread was nice, the croissants were reasonable and I’m told that the coffee was very nice. But the milk was UHT, which is frankly ridiculous. And there wasn’t much else. 3/10, and that is generous of me.
A charming hotel, inside the old Castle of Sedan, the biggest castle in medieval Europe. Breakfast was nice. Good choice of bread, oranges ready to squeeze, nice spread of cereals, cold cuts and choice of fresh cheese (good) and cheeses in plastic (less so). No loose leaf tea but a…
A charming hotel looking out over Kotor Bay. The breakfast is excellent. A fantastic spread of cold cuts, cheeses (white and yellow) and vegetables, rivalling the best I have so far seen. Nice fruit table too, and good choice of juices and reasonable of cereals. There is also a…
We came here to bike Vätternrundan, 300km in 24 hours. So an excellent breakfast is certainly important. Let me first say that the spa is charming. As for breakfast, again, a nice spread of Swedish specialties, including prinskorv (cocktail sausages for want of a better translation), excellent choice of cold…
A bit of a mixed bag. As is common in hotels of this type, the ’main’ breakfast is the cooked breakfast on offer – hence the photo of the menu. The buffet was limited. Strong points: Nice croissants, constant care to make sure that the buffet was replenished, nice fresh…
Another pleasant Baltic breakfast buffet, if possibly a bit uneven. Nice waffles, but the bacon is ‘English’ rather than ‘American’ (i.e., quite fat and not crispy). Boiled and fried eggs, but no scrambled ones. Salmon and herring, but only one choice of cold cuts. Very nice bread, but the croissants…
A lovely quaint hotel in central Riga,with a pleasant buffet breakfast. Very nice choice of cold cuts, fish, vegetables, pickled cucumbers and mushrooms(!), condiments, jams etc. Pancakes and sausages in addition to the usual warm options. Different kinds of dark bread, which is good. Good choice of fresh fruit as…
One of the more frugal breakfasts I’ve encountered for some time. This was not unexpected, though, and at €5 per person (or free in the right season), I shouldn’t complain. The teabags were surprisingly classy, and while the choice of food was limited, what there was, want bad. While you…
This breakfast was a bit disappointing. At first glance, the buffet looks nice. And, to be fair, the salmon, the herring and the meatballs were all excellent. The pancakes were unusual in shape and nice. However, the fruit salad looked as if it came out of a tin and the…
