Breakfast
7 Kale Bed and Breakfast offers a simple yet satisfactory breakfast experience. Many guests appreciated the freshness of the products, including freshly baked croissants and freshly squeezed orange juice. The complimentary Nespresso coffee and selection of teas were also well-received. However, several reviews noted that the breakfast could benefit from more variety and better quality, as it often felt basic and repetitive.

The €8 per person price tag, even for children, seemed steep to some, considering the lack of variety and high-quality options such as eggs or whole wheat bread. Regardless, those who pre-booked breakfast found it reasonably priced and convenient, despite some logistical hiccups like having to order it the day before.

The breakfast room was sometimes hard to locate and could become crowded, yet the overall atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, thanks to small gratifying touches and attentive service. Although the breakfast schedule was considered a bit restrictive by some, the offering was generally found to be compatible with the price for a city center Bed and Breakfast, despite mixed reviews on its value for money.
