[Hotel Hell] shows the Brit on his best behavior. By which we mean his worst. Read full review

The melodrama of it all is tasty--a jumbo macaroon. [27 Aug 2012, p.43]

Ramsay naturally creates drama wherever he goes, and despite a few forced scenarios, the fly-on-the-wall editing smoothly and engagingly creates narratives amid the chaos. Read full review

Hotel Hell is entertaining enough if you're not too picky about overproduced "reality" shows. Read full review

Mr. Ramsay is not quite the raging beast in "Hotel Hell" that he is in his own kitchens. Read full review

Hotel Hell is every bit as watchable--in a morbidly fascinating way--as his other Fox crock pots. Read full review

Absolutely loved this above all his other shows (Not a big fan of the kitchen hell episodes). Especially loved the introduction and the music. Gordon is his normal self so you know what you are in for but he also shows a softer side in some occasions. Some of the people he dealt with youAbsolutely loved this above all his other shows (Not a big fan of the kitchen hell episodes). Especially loved the introduction and the music. Gordon is his normal self so you know what you are in for but he also shows a softer side in some occasions. Some of the people he dealt with you could just slap but he deals with them truthfully and bluntly which they all need to hear.… Expand

Ramsay does it again! I just can't get enough of him or his shows. This one, much like the Kitchen is now about Hotels and he does a wonderful job at it. I'm hooked!
P.S. Thank you Gordon Ramsay for getting into TV!!!!!!

I had no idea Gordon was a hotel inspector as well as a chef and critique. Really enjoyed this and hope there is more to come.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My wife and I sat through one seriously depressing 2-part episode that consisted mainly of Ramsey berating and humiliating some poor older woman in Harper's Ferry who clearly needed help and guidance rather than a Grand Inquisitor's working-over. Sure he ended up helping her, but neither of us understand the appeal of a seriously nasty, neurotic, imperious, and OCD Brit being a 'whiny little **** week after week (thanks Bill Maher!).

And to give Ramsey the benefit of the doubt, we even started watching the 'Lakeview Hotel' episode in which he walks-in and starts angrily berating the owners about dust and cobwebs, which he promptly starts raining down on everyone heads, onto the bar, and into the ice cream. Brilliant, Gordon!

That's when we decided that this show perhaps isn't for us!… Expand

I just finished watching the second part of episode one of Hotel Hell and truly regret this was two hours of my life I will never get back. Read my review - Hotel Hell
