- Comments question buffet value.
“In India and many Asian countries, breakfast at a luxury hotel is an experience in itself. You walk in, look at the spread and wonder where to even start,” he wrote.
He added that Indian and Asian hotels had “really spoiled us” when it came to breakfast.
Mixed reactions
The post drew both support and criticism. Several users praised Indian hotel breakfasts, with one saying a similar spread is often available at a hotel costing about $52 a night, while another said Indian five-star hospitality is hard to match.
Some users agreed with the comparison but pointed to differences in hotel prices and food culture. One noted that $600 a night is not especially high for a U.S. hotel and suggested that this could explain the limited breakfast. Others said U.S. hotel breakfasts often follow a simpler format, with eggs, potatoes, ham, bread, cereals and salads.
Others questioned the need for large breakfast spreads in India. Some comments pointed to food waste, with users arguing that guests may take more food than they normally would simply to get more value from the buffet.
French hotel breakfasts came up too, with one user calling them even more limited and another describing them as mainly croissants, eggs and coffee. One response, however, questioned whether the breakfast photos showed the full food selection, noting that some parts of the buffet were not visible.
Separately, a recent ICRA report projects 7 to 9 percent growth in India’s hospitality industry revenue in FY2026-27.
