The breakfast at Clayton Hotel Cork City elicits mixed reactions from guests. Some found the breakfast delicious, fab, great, excellent and with a good selection of hot and cold food. Others, however, mentioned that the breakfast selection is poor, only luke-warm and not up to the hotel level. The quality of the breakfast ranged from lovely and fresh to poor with diluted drinks and barely warm food. Some appreciated the gluten-free options, while others were disappointed with the absence of explicit vegetarian options and other breakfast staples like porridge, fried eggs and salmon. However, some guests encountered challenges with breakfast, including having room service closing early, struggling to get a meal elsewhere, confusion around having paid and booked for breakfast but finding no record, or receiving poor quality breakfast items delivered to their room.
