Breakfast
Hotel Aurora receives mixed reviews when it comes to breakfast. Positive feedback highlights the breakfast as excellent, hearty and sufficient, often described as a classic hotel-style breakfast that is pretty good and satisfying. Guests appreciated the plentiful and abundant servings with some noting that they enjoyed the breakfasts.

However, many reviews pointed out that the breakfast was monotonous and lacked variety, often repeating the same options every day. There was a notable absence of vegetables and a limited selection of fruits with minimal additions like only apples and oranges. Some guests suggested that the breakfast could be more diverse and expressed disappointment in the lack of meal variety. Specific criticisms included the lack of beverages such as water during breakfast and at times, a poor selection of food with some noting the quality was not at a three-star level.

While the consistent and hearty nature of the breakfast at Hotel Aurora can be appealing, there is a clear call for greater diversity in the offerings, especially in terms of fruits and vegetables, to enhance the overall dining experience.

Dinner

On the positive side, many guests praise the excellent and varied dinners, describing them as delicious, tasty and offering a sufficient selection with many choices, including plentiful meat and fish options. Another highlight is the location, which provides a good setting for a sunset dinner.

However, not all feedback is favorable. Some guests report a limited selection at the dinner buffet with repetitive options and uninspired meals that lack spices and flavor. Several guests mention the inconvenience of drinks not being included with the dinner, noting that they need to be paid for separately. There are also comments about occasional issues with the quality, such as meals being cold or dry and the dinner party starting later than expected.

In summary, while Hotel Aurora excels in offering a varied and often delicious dinner, there are areas of inconsistency, particularly regarding the variety, flavor and beverage policy that some guests find lacking.

While some guests found the rooms spacious and equipped with great views, others indicated the need for renovation, mentioning outdated furniture and fixtures. Small room sizes and very small bathrooms were noted as drawbacks, along with issues like dirty or sticky furniture and unclean balconies.
