Hotel Area Serrano offers a varied breakfast experience that garners mixed reactions from its guests. While some describe the breakfast as good and excellent value for money, others find it to be too light, noting that it resembles a café breakfast rather than that of a hotel. There are positive comments about a small selection of pastries available at the bar downstairs and some guests appreciate the friendly and efficient service with minimal wait times.
However, the breakfast is not included in the room rate, which some guests feel makes it less appealing given the high price for what is offered. Others mention that the breakfast was unappetizing and not worth the additional cost. There are also logistical issues, such as limited options early in the morning and a lack of consultation with staff on what is available, which leaves some guests disappointed. For those who prefer not to partake in the hotel breakfast, good bread and coffee can be purchased separately.
Overall, while the breakfast has its merits in terms of quality and friendliness of service, it appears to fall short of expectations for some guests due to its light nature and additional costs.

Nonetheless, some reviews pointed out issues with the quality and variety of meals, noting that some offerings were akin to works canteen food or consisted of microwave-heated dishes. There were occasions when guests found the meals expensive for what they were and a few experienced unfriendly service.
