They call it continental because it's in the style of what is served on the (European) continent.
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
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"
It was styled on what Americans imagined European breakfasts to be like in the 50s, and cost optimized over subsequent decades.
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?
I've stayed in a lot of different hotels, sometimes the best in the city. Sometimes just meh.
Yes
