At Hotel Du Village Catalan, the breakfast experience garners a mixed reception among guests. Many guests compliment the breakfast, describing it as very good, delicious and well-equipped with some appreciating the variety offered and noting that it meets standard expectations for a French hotel.
However, several guests express disappointment, pointing out the high price (around €12) as being too steep for what is offered.
