Watching repeats of the last series of Hotel Inspector on 5, basically because its on just after The Wright Show with Richard Madeley which I am really enjoying - but that's a different thread!!
Although the format is very similar every week it is the people who make the show - grumpy hoteliers, family feuds, etc etc.
Any new episodes coming on 5?? Mind you I thought I saw a trailer on another channel with Alex Polizzi doing another show??
Many thanks.

Spot on. A little fresh ait in the format would be good.

The family today were so unsuited to the hospitality industry, yes some of it can be taught, but there has to be some basic charm from those front of house to start with. Don't know about you, but I also expect more these days than Lasagne and Chips.
That's something I'd dig out from the back of the freezer on a bad day, not pay someone to serve to me. Hill House food looked really good. Reminded me of the food I had in Scotland many years ago, all fantastic flavour as picked and served the same day.

That place looks really nice and £35 is amazing for B&B even if it's per person and not per room. You'd certainly have to go a long way to get supper for 15 quid.
Seems a lovely place to me. If you haven't watched that episode, I highly recommend it. Duncan is a delight, even Alex was bowled over by him. She didn't want to be, but it was obvious.
Surprised at the end there were children. Where did they spring from?
I don't think she's particularly good looking but there is something about her that makes her extremely sexy. The comment she made on an episode of Richard E Grants Hotel Secrets made me go a bit funny as well.
Googling the place afterwards is always illuminating. 'Loveably eccentric' owners often turn out to be unemployable misanthropes, or children who never grew up, with egos as big as the Ritz. The 'Alex factor' probably lasts a matter of weeks, as so many businesses get sold, repo'ed, fined for flouting hygiene regs, and so on.
If I was a hotelier I'd be furious that one of my own was propping up people with no hope of success in, or respect for, the hospitality industry. Not only does this give the industry a bad name, I imagine it takes business from owners who are hardworking and switched on.
As I'm not a hotelier, I shall continue to be amused at the folly of humankind, especially the ones who don't read tripadvisor before booking a hotel.
She has and does, regularly!
She bloody does darling. Ruth Watson used to swear like a fishwife.
I didn't like Ruth Watson, I had an overwhelming urge to slap her and I don't even own a hotel.
lol You missed her new show on Channel 4 then where she visits B&B's and restaurants who have received bad reviews online and brings back some of the people who left the reviews? She was so condescending to both the business owners and the reviewers.
Didn't care for Ruth Watson, she reminds me of my sister in law who also bears a striking resemblence to Jack Duckworth in a wig.
But in the trailer for the new series, at the end is a man who I recognize but cannot think where from? I think it maybe Four In A Bed. So I will be watching that episode as it is driving me mad
Hotel Hell is extremely staged, just like Kitchen Nightmares.
However I expect there will still be that awful accompanying, irritating jingly jangly music throughout?:(
