How much are you prepared to pay for Hotel breakfast?

Fleurpepper Sorry. I think I've confused you - I was commenting on your OP, I hadn't noticed before that it was 30 Euro per person. For some reason I was thinking it was 30 Euro for two people (per room).

Joseann Maybe the Ritz serves their pastries on a silver platter?

I only just noticed that it's 30 Euro's per person so 60 Euros (about £50) for 2 people to have a Continental breakfast. They must be the best pastries and coffee in the world.

Where is that?

Same price as the Hotel we stayed at in Salzburg, 60 Euros for self serve breakfast for the two of us. Not even cooked fresh or served. Daylight robbery.(4* Hotel). A big no- the local Café across the street was a delight and a fraction of the price. We spent the rest on a nice lunch on a terrasse.

If a breakfast wasn't included I would go to a local cafe or bar especially in France/Spain/Italy where the coffee and croissants in these place are invariably delicious

It depends how nice the hotel is and their reputation regarding food. If it’s quality, locally sourced 4 or 5 star I’d pay more.

The Ritz food is excellent. DH used to nosh there for free at Christmas when the choir sang for the guests! 🎄

They're obviously better at The Ritz because the Continental breakfast is £46 per head!

Norah, full English is another matter. But honestly surprised you woud be prepared to pay that much for continental breakfast menu, however good the coffee is. Each to their own, thanks for all the comments.

We're prepared to pay 20-£25.

If we're away I like Continental Breakfast, wonderful strong coffee, good breads and jams, lovely fruit. Not full English - though if my husband chooses FE I will take a few of his mushrooms.

McDonald’s Botley Park Hotel in the UK charges £24 pp for breakfast.
I wouldn’t bother if it wasn’t included.

£25 for a Continental breakfast ????? Blimey.

I don't eat Continental breakfast anyway, always full English for me and the fuller the better, but there's no way I would pay that no matter how nice the hotel. I doubt I would pay that for a full English unless it was a very, very decent breakfast with things like Craster kippers available.

To me that's basically £25 for little more than a pile of sugar - if I really felt I must have a pastry I'd probably just have one later with a coffee.

I don't like breakfast so try to book places where it's optional. Sometimes we take instant porridge where you just add boiling water. It's not bad, fills us up and saves money. Yes I'm a cheapskate but don't like paying for something I don't really want.

Either its included in hotel price or if at an apartment we make our own....if it wasn't in hotel price I wouldn't bother ....just have a nice coffee somewhere then have lunch later

A very tasty holiday treat Jaxjacky!

It would have to be an extraordinarily special occasion to pay those prices..

Just had a look... The Ritz:

Continental Breakfast is priced at £46 and English breakfast is £56.

Regular cooked breakfast in IKEA £3.75

... if you can be bothered to drive from your hotel and walk for a mile in a store and then eat in a canteen!

It depends how much I can fit in my handbag for later.

LOL, ah!

If it is more than £15, I'd say pick a few bits for the day seems fair.

The pub hotel we’re staying in soon includes it in the room rate, but a full English is £12.50 on the menu.

I tend to buy my breakfast at the local store. So many places don't do decent fresh fruit and fat free quark or yogurt. If I start the day with a "help yourself" breakfast I eat too much of the wrong thing and it all goes downhill from there!

The breakfast (full English included) in a 5 star hotel we stayed in recently was £25. For us it was inclusive with the room.

We always had the full cooked breakfast and did not bother with lunch - or even afternoon tea - until dinner in the evening, so it could be said to count as an economy.

For a full cooked English, I think it is fair.

My question was more related to Continental breakfast.
