At Hotel Bären, the breakfast experience is a mixed bag, yet many guests have found several positive aspects to highlight. While the selection may not be extensive, the quality of the offerings generally receives high marks, particularly for its coffee, which some guests dubbed the best of their trip. Despite the simplicity of the overall spread with some even describing it as very simple, the breakfast was consistently noted as good or great by many visitors. Guests appreciated having breakfast served at their requested time, adding a personal touch to the service.
However, the experience is not without its drawbacks. Some noted that only lactose-free yogurts were available and these were expired and there were mentions of the coffee being instant and not enjoyable.

For those seeking alternatives, a nearby bakery just 100 meters away serves a great breakfast and was preferred by some guests over the hotel's offerings.
