We are still in Gothenburg (Goteborg to the Swedes) at the Scandic Hotel. Leaving this afternoon for Oslo by train. We were asked to reserve a time slot for breakfast since the hotel is so full. We arrived to find a sea of people. Food stations spread far and wide. Separate dining areas with names like Oceania and Europa. Coffee machines were you use the touch screen for your selection. Something that looked like a water spout with a touch screen in front where you could select water, orange juice or apple juice.
Coffee was awful but all the food was good. I went for the muesli and yogurt and then added on a hard boiled egg. Not too exciting but it tasted great and I felt virtuous.
We also like the hotel breakfasts but I know what you mean about the coffee. Often they have these machines which make terrible coffee. Why don’t they just get a nespresso machine? We had one on our Airbnb here and the coffee was very good. We had one at home for a while too.
