Technically, breakfast is the first meal of the day. It is also said to be the most important. But for us, always looking for ways to make every moment more enjoyable, it is much more than that. At Sercotel, we believe that a good breakfast is the first step towards being at your best. That is why we have turned the first meal of the day into a ritual designed with your wellbeing in mind, featuring top-quality produce, options for everyone and memorable little touches. In short, our breakfast buffet makes your trip better – and here are the reasons why:

No matter what brings you to one of our hotels or whether you are here for work or leisure. Starting your morning by enjoying our breakfast buffet, with a cup of tea or coffee in hand and choosing between some artisan bread toast, a bagel or, why not, trying a bit of everything, is not optional. It is essential for getting all the energy you need to take on the day. Because, yes, we know: you are not yourself until you have had your coffee.

Hands up if you have never felt excited at the sight of a breakfast buffet. No one? Of course not. After all, who would not be thrilled at the prospect of turning the first meal of the day into a special moment? We mean that relaxed feeling of walking into the breakfast room knowing that everything has been prepared for you.

We know that you spend your life rushing around, so at Sercotel hotels we have created welcoming spaces where you can feel at ease and enjoy breakfast without having to hurry. We also pay close attention to every detail and love finding new ways to surprise you. Alongside everything you would expect from a breakfast buffet, you may also find little treats such as a Nocilla dispenser, flavoured waters or freshly squeezed orange juice. We must be doing something right, as Sercotel ranks among the top three hotel chains for breakfast according to customer reviews collected by TrustYou, with a score of 86 out of 100.

If you are someone who likes a truly substantial breakfast – starting with some fruit, moving on to the savoury options and saving something sweet for dessert (yes, the first meal of the day deserves a dessert too) – our hotel breakfast buffet is a sure-fire way to save money. Not only because it is competitively priced – increasingly so, given that the trend for eating breakfast out and turning it into an occasion has pushed up prices in many cafés – but also because leaving our buffet feeling satisfied means you can avoid mid-morning hunger and all those little snacks whose costs soon add up.

Leaving your room knowing that breakfast is ready just a lift ride away is not the same as stumbling outside half asleep, searching for ‘cafés near me’ on your phone and checking ratings and reviews. Nor is heading down with nothing more than your key card and phone the same as having to work out whether you have everything you need for a full day out because ‘who knows where we will have breakfast or whether we will have time to return to the room’.

And the list goes on. At Sercotel hotels, we are all about making life easier for you – and for everyone else. That is why we do not simply make breakfast convenient: our buffet also includes gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan options, as well as choices for younger guests.

That is the beauty of a breakfast buffet: it literally puts flavours you do not usually enjoy in the morning – or perhaps have never tried before – right at your fingertips. At ours, for example, you can move from fresh fruit and yoghurts to artisan breads and pastries, as well as hot options such as eggs cooked in different ways, bacon or grilled vegetables. You can even go international and start the day with baked beans or American-style cakes.

No matter how often you visit, you will always find something new. We might introduce seasonal produce, embrace the latest food trend or make changes based on the feedback you share with us. Who would not be happy to start the day like this?
