The buffet is praised for being "quite complete and of good quality," providing a satisfying start to the day with plenty to choose from.
However, some guests noted shortcomings such as limited variety and organization issues. Several mentioned that the breakfast was "sparse," "precarious," or "poor with few options," while a few pointed out that hot meals were not served at the right temperature. During peak times, guests experienced long queues and reported that the staff appeared overwhelmed, leading to delays and disorganization.

Hotel Folch offers a dining experience that varies in quality depending on individual preferences.

Specifically, vegetarian options were limited, though the chef made efforts to accommodate special requests. Issues were noted with meal temperatures and long wait times.
For special events, such as New Year's Eve, the food did not impress, being described as overcooked and overly salty. Simplistic meal offerings and noise from the facilities added to the less appealing aspects for some diners. Nonetheless, the restaurant's flexibility in switching between lunch and dinner and the provision of basic food facilities like a fridge and microwave were positives.
