4.0 out of 5 stars Highly amusing, October 28, 2005
This review is from: Hotel Babylon (Paperback)
I was given this book from a friend who promised me, that as a frequent traveler, I may never feel the same way about my journeys after reading it. Boy was she right!

The novel moves very quickly and spans a 24 hour period in a five star hotel. Throughout the novel we are offered disturbing glimpses of what actually happens when people use a place as their home away from home. Believe me some of these glimpses are very distrubing!

The novel also demonstrates how hotels make money, how they deal with needy and demanding clients, what happens when they overbook and how they deal with some of the more "delicate situations" which arise.

Very fun and informative!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very funny read, December 28, 2004
This review is from: Hotel Babylon (Paperback)
Terrific plane reading. Facile but entertaining tale of the underbelly of a 5-Star luxury hotel in London. Funny and sometimes outrageous.

5.0 out of 5 stars great stuff, December 1, 2004
This review is from: Hotel Babylon (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. As someone who spends a lot of time travelling abroad and staying in five star hotels this is was a real eye-opener. The book is packed with great stories, anecdotes and loads of celebrity gossip and I found it hilarious, entertaining and the prefect thing to take on a long haul flight. I read it one sitting. I couldn't put it down. I liked the 24 hour format and I would recommend to anyone who is at all curious and who has a sense of humour.
