Grand Hotel

This show is just a taste of what Egypt has to offer!!

I decided to watch this on Netflix after watching and enjoying the original Spanish production, "Gran Hotel," which was extraordinarily well done. This Egyptian version is a slight alteration of that original.

I am enjoying the story, despite the lack of authentic costuming, etc. In each scene I am distracted by the hair, clothing and accessories which are more reminiscent of 1980s to early 2000-era traditional styles, and quite unlike 1950s-era fashion and grooming. Perhaps they did not have access to a budget for authentic vintage clothing or costume design and production. I find the sets to be very limited as well.

Aside from the visual limitations, the story is quite compelling due to the talented actors. I recommend it to those who enjoyed the original Spanish series.

This is truly one of the best tv series I have ever watched. The acting, the music, the storyline, (even though it's taken from the original grand hotel Spanish version) the twists!! For those who like suspense, it's there from the beginning to the end with so many emotions in there. It Takes you away to another world.

The Spanish series "Gran Hotel" (2011-2013) was such an extraordinary success worldwide that it yielded another 7 remakes in different countries. Well-written plot, with surprising twists, and touch of humor, romance and mostly mystery. The original (Spanish) version features incredible whimsy with costume and hairstyles. Those series that you can't stop watching. "Secret of the Nile" is its Egyptian version. Unlike the original version, set in the early 1900s, "Secret of the Nile" recreates the plot during the 1950s.

...as everyone is so *extraordinarily unattractive * Im struggling to bother. Brother very ordinary he has to be HOT.

The key romantic players in Spanish Grand Hotel were gorgeous which was half the appeal.

The gorgon in the purple hat has now just arrived, it's going to take *an awful lot* of dazzling character development for me to warm to her!

Btw... fffs .....can someone PLEASE tell Netflix subtitle writers that AMERICANS ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE ON THE ENTIRE PLANET to use the ANNOYING and very INFANTILE term "MOM".

SO STOP PUTTING IT IN EVERYTHING!!!!!

Thanks.
