Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Fritz King Kati Qota All he does is show up and critic, nothing gets fixed and no improvements are made... as a viewer , i wouldn't want to visit any of these places, i feel he has this demeanor on to sell to the public... if things are really shitty then fix them...! he literally shows up and starts complaining, gets people fired, shows attitude and that's that... i don't feel as if the show really helps anything, it's strictly a rude person, who is entertaining to watch but doesn't help at all... he point's out mistakes, which they are but doesn't really do much to fix anything. overall it is entertaining to watch people get discredited and builled.
Mark Holloway Very Gordon Ramsey formulaic stuff and quite similar to "Kitchen Nightmares": Arrives, meets the staff, immediately finds something wrong with hygiene/security at reception or in his room, has a meal and hates everything, finds some staff/family clashes, shows us his bum as he gets into jacuzzi/shower/bath, gets previous customers to feedback bad reviews, shouts, deals out psychology, simplifies the menu, does some simple renovation, re-invigorates chef's passion ... hey presto.I like the show but his bottom and the formulaic approach to everything is beginning to wear a little thin.
LeDentalPlaque I'm not sure where to start with Gordon Ramsay's Hotel Hell, but as a core belief, I say that someone should not act as an expert in something they don't specialize in. It's kind of like a biologist acting like they know everything about physics, provided that they've only had biology-related education. This is the case with Hotel Hell.Gordon Ramsay made his fame through the restaurant and dining experience. He's known for his outbursts and rude awakenings, but it's always been related to food - his specialty. Last year, I saw some episodes of Hotel Hell and the first thing that came through my mind is a simple question of "what kind of experience does he have with hotels"? To me, it's not good to have a show whose main host has no deep roots in that business. Of course, it's highly interesting to see the different hotels and to see Gordon Ramsay's softer side in trying to help out these struggling owners, but the show doesn't get as much credit because the host and producer are not professionals in this field - so there's only so much you can believe. Most of the show is also focused on Gordon himself, like him swimming in the pool almost every episode...Apart from helping to renovate one or two rooms in the hotel, the only good take-away is the restaurant aspect of each hotel, since he does specialize in that area.Overall, I rate it a 6/10 because of a lack of professional input from the hotel industry, but it is still good entertainment because it's frightening to see how terrible some hotels are.
mysticnox I've worked in the hotel industry for 12 years. Gordon Ramsey doesn't have a clue what he's doing.He's overly focused on the restaurant, and ignores what actually makes the real money in hotels. The rooms are the money maker, not the food. The food should still be good, but there's a better way to do this. Unless you're catering to the locals for dinner, you're much better just having breakfast and maybe lunch. Or breakfast and dinner.These hotels need to pay attention to their revenue streams, marketing, revenue management, being on the proper websites, and more. Marketing is about where your position is and to get yourself known. It's about knowing the market, not "I make deals".Whats the comp set? What are the rates in comparison? Can you feed off the cities nearby?Each hotel is different. Whats the best model of revenue for the hotel? REAL hoteliers need to be doing this, not a chef. Running a hotel is very different than running a restaurant.And frankly, what I just said doesn't even begin to cover the problems I'm seeing with this show. This show is terrible. And frankly embarrassing. There are better shows out there such as Hotel Impossible where the host has 20 years of REAL hotel experience.Gordon, go back to restaurants. It's what you're good at.
