As if chef Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Hell wasn't a contrived lot of twaddle, now he has turned his attention to criticising hotels. Kitchen Hell was bad enough but Hotel Hell is a whole lot worse. You can only assume that hotels prepared to come under the gaze of his critical eye are so desperate for business they think that having a celebrity stop at their establishment is worth it for the television advertisement even if what he has to say is less than complimentary. Gordon Ramsey is one of those TV chefs that seems to think he's a genius even though any idiot can cook. When you can paint like Rembrandt or compose a symphony like Mozart or Beethoven, then your a real genius!. Quite why he thinks his culinary knowledge qualifies him to be believe he is an expert in hotel management is beyond me. This, for me, is total television crap!.

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.

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.

The fourth series on Fox for Gordon Ramsay sees the chef attempting to Rehab/Stoner various inns, hotels, and motels throughout the United States.OK if you don't like Gordon Ramsey obviously you will despise this and all his shows - "Hell's Kitchen", "Kitchen Nightmares" and of course "Masterchef US". But the fact of my review is that I think he is hilarious and always have! Yes he is raging and swearing right left and center but what is funny is the "Long Live Gordon, the Hotel savior" and you get to see his ass when he takes a bath. And what other non crime programs shows disgusting 'Body Fluids' on beds and walls. It makes you NOT want to ever stay in a Hotel again and well some of these US Owners are totally unreal and hilarious to watch. I am a Cookery reality TV fan anyway and I do enjoy this show whereas millions would not. If there is nothing else available to watch - stick on a bit of Ramsey "I say"!
