I have just discovered that the hotel we were going to stay at in a couple of weeks' time (Malmaison in Edinburgh) doesn't include breakfast in its rates. This is despite the fact that we're paying not an insignificant amount of money per night.
This seems to be a growing trend with hotels. Why on earth should they make you spend £20 a head on breakfast - which consists of a few stale rolls, some cheese and incipid coffee - when you're spending £200 a night.
To be honest, I wouldn't normally be so annoyed, however in this case Malmaison don't make it obvious that their prices are "rooms only". If they did, then I certainly wouldn't have booked with them.
Now it's too late to cancel and find another room (especially as it's festival time), we'll just go out and buy some milk and cereal and take liberties with the tea & coffee making facilities.
Utter, utter cunts.
