I was given a piece of toast and an orange when I went to a hotel breakfast in the UK. In Germany, I think they laughed at me when I asked if breakfast was included.
Almost every half-decent hotel I’ve stayed in on the continent has a self-service mix of both. The breads, hams and cheeses of a continental but also heated cloches of eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns etc. Also it’s served from about 7.30 to 10.30
If they sell you a shit breakfast, leave a one-star review and make a difference. Instead of rolling over and having your belly tickled by capitalism like the yanks do
Some shocking breakfasts in this thread but more shocking that some people just shrug and go “It is what it is”

And all of them stale because they keep changing them out for a week. The biggest thing missing is most european hotels don’t have waffle makers- or if they do they’re missing syrup. One hotel I stayed at put the syrup next to their stale pancakes, and nutella next to the waffle maker- they had it very backwards.
You clearly stayed in shit hotels, mate. I wouldn’t stay anywhere that had anything stale on a breakfast table and I’d throw a fuckin wobbly at anyone that tried to serve me stale food.
Did you just roll over like a good puppy and eat it anyway?
what I mean to say is, I think they choose a continental breakfast because it sounds fancy and is cheap. not that they made up the word Continental for it
I love how they call it a continental breakfast like it’s supposed to be fancy but everybody on earth actually wants an English breakfast
Most hotels outside the US and Canada actually do a legit good breakfast. Not this cheap carb garbage they do in the States.
I really think you have this backwards- at least in my experience. I wonder if you’re just staying in nicer hotels when you’re on vacation.

dude, refrigerators aren’t included when you rent apartments in Germany.
Neither are wardrobes and beds, so be aware
They call it continental because it’s in the style of what is served on the (European) continent.

I’ve stayed in a lot of different hotels, sometimes the best in the city. Sometimes just meh.
Yes
Who’s a Good Consumer?
It was styled on what Americans imagined European breakfasts to be like in the 50s, and cost optimized over subsequent decades.

Please speak for yourself. If I had to eat an English breakfast before 6pm that’d be a lost day for me. Because that’s dinner food.
I love it when the breakfast is hot water and instant oatmeal
That’s honestly better than most continental breakfasts.
