Pastoraat Cafe, Prather with Bob W — great food, but extremely disappointing and misleading breakfast pricing.
The food itself was genuinely good, but the way the “breakfast included” arrangement works left us feeling completely misled.
Nowhere during the booking process was it made clear that “breakfast included” actually meant an allowance of up to €12 per person. We only found this out when we came for breakfast on the first morning. That is not what most people reasonably understand by the words “breakfast included”, especially when breakfast was something I specifically paid extra for when booking the room.
To make matters worse, the breakfast menu seems designed in a way that makes exceeding that €12 allowance almost unavoidable. For example, fried eggs cost around €10 — but want bacon with them? That’s another €4 per person. Drinks are not included either. Seriously, breakfast without coffee, tea, or juice? No, thank you.
So despite having already paid extra for “breakfast included”, every single morning I still ended up paying approximately €28 extra for our family.
And we were not ordering some huge, extravagant breakfast. The “extras” were basically coffee for me and my wife, juice for the kids, bacon with the fried eggs, and a small muffin. That’s it.
Calling this “breakfast included” is, in my opinion, extremely misleading. If what is actually included is simply a €12 breakfast credit per person, then it should be advertised clearly as exactly that before
