A few guests were dissatisfied with the limited choice and quantity, feeling it didn’t meet the standards of a four-star hotel. There were also mentions of cold scrambled eggs and a preference for a simple buffet rather than a pre-made selection.

Overall, while Hotel Sonnenalm Stuhleck’s breakfast receives commendation for quality and presentation, it has areas that could benefit from improvement, particularly in variety and consistency.

However, a recurring point across reviews was the notably small size of the rooms.
