Common breakfast problems at Turkish hotels — missing butter, food not ready on time?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 9 days ago
TL;DR
Yes, some Turkish hotels have breakfast issues: margarine instead of butter, limited cold cuts, and hot dishes not ready at opening time. Arriving 20–30 minutes after opening often helps.

At breakfast the fruit was often wilted and not fresh, and the omelet station didn't start preparing food right at opening either.

Simit bread rolls at breakfast are put out in very limited quantity, so guests have to actively hunt for them instead of just grabbing some from the table.

At one hotel, only margarine was served at breakfast instead of real butter. A guest had to go to a nearby shop to buy actual butter themselves.

In a previous season at one hotel, guests who arrived at the 7:00 breakfast opening had to wait around 30 minutes for staff to heat up the grills and prepare eggs and pancakes at the hot food station.
