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

    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.

    Hotel Hell is as much fun as the others [shows], even if the formula has been used so many times, you're ready for a new dish.

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

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

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

    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.
