Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Hotel de Love is a pleasant and sometimes funny film, without being completely satisfying.

The New York Times Stephen Holden
Hotel de Love, the directing and screenwriting debut of Craig Rosenberg, is like a Valentine's Day box of heart-shaped chocolates that all have the same too-sweet cherry fillings.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
It's glossy, dumb fun that is diverting enough but forgotten 20 minutes after it's over.

Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
Some of it looks like a TV commercial, and the characters' motivations could have been generated by a computer, but the cast--Ray Barrett, Julia Blake, Simon Bossell, Saffron Burrows, Pippa Grandison, and Aden Young--is attractive and energetic.

ReelViews James Berardinelli
And, while it's not bad enough for me to suggest that it should have been left where it came from, this certainly isn't a shining example of Australian cinema.

San Francisco Chronicle Ruthe Stein
Unfortunately, Hotel de Love also has all the originality of an all-purpose valentine. First- time filmmaker Craig Rosenberg appears to have seen every relationship movie ever made. To his credit, he borrowed only from the best.

San Francisco Examiner Barbara Shulgasser
Now and then the script reaches admirable heights of humor.

Austin Chronicle Alison Macor
Some of the gags seem a bit too labored, and by the time the rather charming ending unfolds, these weaker moments in Hotel de Love may force some viewers to check out early.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
The young stars are attractive and capable, but Hotel de Love is as synthetic as an old "Love Boat" episode.

Writer/director Craig Rosenberg is no master of subtlety -- in fact, he seems to have only two settings, whacking excess and treacly pathos -- and the film is awash in ponderous whimsy.

Washington Post Bruce Walker
This is billed as a romantic comedy, but it's much more boring than funny.
