Free breakfast in hotels is one of the best parts of booking a stay, and no one likes to miss it. From Reddit threads to viral TikTok videos, people are sharing how easy it is to walk into hotels and enjoy the breakfast spread without ever booking a room. This sneaky hack has left many both amused and surprised.
Social Media Shows Getting Free Hotel Breakfast Is Easy
Complimentary breakfast is one of the perks of staying in hotels. However, now it looks like you don’t necessarily have to stay in a hotel to enjoy the free breakfast! Many social media users have shared stories where they tried sneaking into a hotel and eating the complimentary breakfast without being caught. NDTV reported that one Reddit user showed the method. He mentioned that one should enter the mid-class hotel and check whether the lobby is empty or not. Most of the time, the lobby is empty as most of the staff are at the dining to serve breakfast. Further, walk to the bathroom, stay there for some minutes and then head to the breakfast hall.
Most hotels have complimentary breakfast only for the guests, and if anyone outside gets caught he/she has to pay extra prices. The hotel staff not checking on who is using the dining area encourages other people to sneak in.

Netizens Thought On This Behaviour
Videos of people entering hotels and eating free breakfast have gone viral all over the internet. Many other users have shared their opinions in the comment section. Some travel experts have warned these social media users that consuming breakfast without staying in a hotel is ethically wrong, according to NDTV.
One user wrote, “The trick is not to go for the upscale resorts. Nice places are much more likely to catch you or have protocols in place that prevent this.”
Another user added, “Common hotels with bland generic breakfast are easy to walk into. I’ve literally jogged in, eaten breakfast, and walked out.”
