Grand Hotel

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 show was full of twists and turns that leaves the audience hooked right from the start! The show is beautifully crafted and complimented by a great soundtrack. Terrific acting, and truly a pleasure to watch. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

...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.

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

I have never enjoyed any performance more than the wonderful heart warming performance of Mohamed Mamdouh who plays Amin in Secret of the Nile. A true pleasure to watch. The whole cast is also Great and a wonderful story. My first time seeing Egyptian actors and want to see more - thanks Netflix for showing this.
