Grand Hotel

...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.

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

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.

This series "Secret of the Nile" took me by surprise, and within two episodes, I was hooked. The actors are first rate, each offering nuanced layers to their characters, and together the story weaves the lives of some really likable characters (even the ones you want to dislike)... into a mystery that unfolds at the right pace with twists and turns revealing shadow and light in each and every character. I watched with English subtitles and didn't miss a beat. I have been saving the last episode to watch til this week... then I will watch again from the understandings I now have of the characters. And am hoping (please!?!) for a Season 2.
