It seems breakfast is not included in the overall package and guests have the option to pre-order it for delivery to their rooms, although some have found this arrangement a bit confusing initially.

It's important to note that breakfast service has faced interruptions lately, despite prior advertisements. Some guests mention they booked anticipating a breakfast that was not available at present, although hopes for its reinstatement are mentioned.
