Dec 29, 2015"Hotel" has some really fun songs to (I liked when they played the song 'beautiful' in the "Devil Wears Prada" movie. It's a very upbeat album. Listen to it if you're feeling bored. It's got a lot of fun beats to it. The melodies on the songs are very good. The music is nicely done. Yeah! I love this album as much as I would "Play." I like this better than "Play."

LaurenHMar 4, 2007I loved this album. Not having heard his other complete albums, but liking what i had heard, I bought this on a whim and was very happy I did. It never bored me, Each song stands alone and it's better than all the crap on the radio. Gives me a nice break from all the generic pop/rock/rap that popular radio exclusively plays.

JonathanCDec 26, 2006This album was one of my favourites of 2005. A couple of the tracks towards the end drag a little but the more I listen to the album, the more I enjoy it. It's different to his other work; that doesn't mean it's not good. Play was wildly different to Everything is Wrong, but both are outstanding records.

JefferySApr 19, 2006This is one of my favorite tracks to listen to as I drift into a sleep: high notes are definately the first 2 songs... if you are in the market for a fun-easy listening cd, this is top notch

ArmandoAFeb 19, 2006Ok, so yeah. This album basically blows compared to genius-artwork "Play", but a couple of songs (for instance "Lift Me Up") are worth a listening. The ambience aggregate does a much better job than the pop album, but then again, you must be into that kind of music or own a lounge-bar or something in order to appreciate it.

CarlCJul 10, 2005even the cover of "temptation" is just flat- and some of the key lyrics to that are missing. the rest of the album is an uninspired roller coaster rider ride aimed to please everyone.

jyotirmayadasJul 7, 2005I don't listen to Moby ever. But something told me to give this CD a listen, and I liked what I heard! That was really weird. So I bought it because unlike 1995's 'Everything...' it didn't gross me out with all those soul women wailing on every other track.

TristanSJun 12, 2005This album actually shows growth and willingness to fail. In doing so it accels and if more people had this in mind, there wouldn't be so many self-appointed critics...

AspectWindowJun 6, 2005Maybe I'm the only person in the world who really LIKES Moby's voice. I've always thought his voice sounds kind of lonely and wistful, even on his more uplifting songs. And "Hotel" is full of uplifting songs... ignore the (negative) hype. This is a great pop album.

MattJun 5, 2005Very mopey. Have never been a Moby fan, but I at least respect his other releases. Not this one.

TFJun 5, 2005A very disappointing album. Only two songs I like on the first disc, the second disc is much better if you're in to ambient electronica.

PauloDJun 2, 2005the most boring album of 2005.

EleanorApr 24, 2005"Heartfelt" and "simple" seems to be a cop-out for thin, unimaginative pieces. It sounds more like lazy pop than electronica. Although Moby has done what I have always wanted - made an album with a uniform style running throghout - it does not have the same standard or variety of Play.

WendyMar 31, 2005The lyrics are just awful in this Albym! There is one "ok" track on this CD, where Moby DOESNT sing. This is the last Moby CD that I will buy.

ChrisBMar 31, 2005While it would be hard to match the genius of 'Play', I don't think Hotel is too bad at all, though I feel Moby excels best when mixing more music and less singing. While usually a fan of his dance tracks,I actually preferred the Ambient CD to the feature CD. Overall, not a bad effort for the guy though.

AxelNMar 29, 2005Moby has recived a lot of bashing for this album, but i think the sound is very cool. A more mature Moby this time. Lovely songs like 'lift me up', 'i like it' & 'forever' makes this an exellent album. But, i know Moby can be more creative than this...

MikeSMar 27, 2005Its sad that Mobys new album is so bad! After he made "18" I thought you would learn from his mistakes and make an album which would be better then "Play" but this isnt the case. The album feels like its a copy from his other works, but a much worse copy. If youre a Moby fan like me, I would still have to say I wouldnt recommend the album.

The slower stuff vagues out, and the bonus disc of ambient instrumentals ought to come with a controlled substance, but elegant relationship songs such as the torchy "Forever" suggest this talented softy has found a sensible way to come down from a multiplatinum high.
