I've stayed in the Iglika a few times and have found the buffet breakfast in the pocket to be a bit hit and miss. 1stly tried a couple of cheese rolls but as I don't carry a bag with me stuffed them in my pocket and found them frozen when lunch time came around. Then I tried hiding a couple of boiled eggs. I kind of forgot they were there and wondered what the disgusting smell was whilst I was in the Gondola.
