    Funny witty and great. One of the best show in my time back to the basics of good stories lines and great charters. I glad to see someone making tv worth watching again. Living in the states I'm sick of are reality tv HA HA its such crap. Maybe US Studios can learn a few things. Great show keep it up.

    Beautifully casted, gorgeous and lush set, and more fun than "Footballers' Wives".

    An enjoyable waste of an hour but if all the actors had American accents I don't think the critics would have rated it so highly

    Intelligent and well written. Superbly acted. Classy. Revealing and exciting. Additionally, you might call me shallow- but those accents still amount to one of the best parts of the show. I know that doesn't sound like the show amounts to much - but does it ever!

    Hotel Babylon supplies an attractive cast, a cheeky attitude and just enough depth to keep you coming back for more.

    British reviewers pegged Hotel Babylon correctly when they called it flashy, trashy, cheeky, frothy and "like a perfectly executed souffle."

    Hotel Babylon is willfully bright and sexy--like the Parker's décor, it updates a '70s sensibility--but also has a nice eye for detail, good minor characters and well-flowing dialogue.
