The typical breakfast offering consists of coffee, sausages, an omelette with toast and sometimes fruit, but it is not served as a buffet; instead, a fixed plate of food is provided. The lack of variety with the same menu every day and the modest portions have been points of contention for several guests. Some even described the breakfast as very basic, below average or poor. On the positive side, the hotel has made efforts such as preparing lunch boxes upon request and providing late dinners that were well-received.
