Viewers i'm sorry if my short reviews its just that i'm dyslexic and I find it really hard to write these reviews, so please bare with me and my mistakes. Hotel babylon is an incredible drama to watch its so realistic and so upcoming and modern. This drama is about a 5 star hotel having famous guests over and finding difficulties in their relationships and the staff find it as thier moral duty to sort it out. This drama is really interesting and new and should be watched by anyone who loves a slight hint of comedy at times. Storylines: these are the best, because they have new storylines everyweek with new guests but the same staff which makes this ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Hotel Babylon - sophisticated yet decadent (590 words)

This is not the type of television programme I would normally watch because, judging by the initial trailers, it looked a bit too much like a soap opera and I have never watched one of those. However, because it was just a small batch of episodes, I knew it wasn't going to run and run indefinitely like a soap opera does, so I thought I'd give it a chance. Although it is slightly less realistic than real life - but then, what programme isn't? - I find it intriguing. I love the atmosphere that is created which I find really draws you into to the various plots. You end up feeling as if you have had personal experience of the Hotel Babylon and that you are on ...  Read the complete review
