4.0 out of 5 stars Silly, but I love it. 5 May 2008
Format:DVD
Hotel Babylon isn't the best written show on television. What makes it great is its style and presentation: there's something about the gorgeous sets, photogenic cast and interesting camerawork that made me feel at home from the first episode to the last. Okay, so it may be a long way from the real hotel business, (or the real world generally for that matter,) and the stories may rely more on catchy visuals than serious plots, but Hotel Babylon wraps the viewer in a cosy stylish cocoon, and I can quite happily live with that. Isn't that what a good hotel does?

5.0 out of 5 stars Hotel Babylon 1 April 2007
By ejc
Format:DVD
I watched the entire series from its orriginal air and loved it. Personally, i think the idea wasso frsh, yes there have been so many hotel comedys/dramas/dramedeys, etc, but only set in lower class hotels. To see the scandals, many of which based on truth, in a 5* london hotel. the camera is brilliant, plus the links of accelerated shots of london is brilliant. the hotel always looks immaculate and the set is so convincing, if only it were real!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Inviting Hotel Babylon 13 April 2007
By Helen
Format:DVD
Hugely entertaining, another of those unique offerings like Cutting It that aren't easy to categorise and some people will inevitably call sleazy or superficial - yet really it's neither because the lowdown is said to be based on truth, ditto in the equally rivetting book of the same title that this TV series is based on. As an enthusiast for Arnold Bennett's fine old books about hotels, Imperial Palace and Grand Babylon Hotel, I was immediately tempted to watch this TV series if only out of curiosity, and am delighted I did. Rather different to Bennett but equally fascinating! Intensely more-ish so thank goodness there is another series to come next year. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very lightweight
I bought this product because of the stars in it. It is actually very lightweight and I wouldn't purchase anymore series of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outrageous, flawed and always OTT, but who cares? This is fun as hell!
Hotel Babylon is one of those TV series where the BBC takes a risk. Let's face it, it's hardly realistic or ground breaking, is it? But the BBC played its cards brilliantly here. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars hotel babylon
Bought this to remind me of the TV series, so I've seen it already.

Pure escapism from our bland, normal everyday life to the luxury of a five star hotel. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!
If you have caught some of the episodes of later series on the TV you won't be disappointed to see how it all began. I would highly recommend it!

This is not a show to be taken seriously, but is one to be watched in the humour that it was intended. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars scandalously juicy
