- 63Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHotel de Love is a pleasant and sometimes funny film, without being completely satisfying.
- 60The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenHotel de Love, the directing and screenwriting debut of Craig Rosenberg, is like a Valentine's Day box of heart-shaped chocolates that all have the same too-sweet cherry fillings.
- 60The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinIt's glossy, dumb fun that is diverting enough but forgotten 20 minutes after it's over.
- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliAnd, while it's not bad enough for me to suggest that it should have been left where it came from, this certainly isn't a shining example of Australian cinema.
- 50San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinSan Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinUnfortunately, Hotel de Love also has all the originality of an all-purpose valentine. First- time filmmaker Craig Rosenberg appears to have seen every relationship movie ever made. To his credit, he borrowed only from the best.
- 50San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserSan Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserNow and then the script reaches admirable heights of humor.
- 50Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumChicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumSome of it looks like a TV commercial, and the characters' motivations could have been generated by a computer, but the cast--Ray Barrett, Julia Blake, Simon Bossell, Saffron Burrows, Pippa Grandison, and Aden Young--is attractive and energetic.
- 40Austin ChronicleAustin ChronicleSome of the gags seem a bit too labored, and by the time the rather charming ending unfolds, these weaker moments in Hotel de Love may force some viewers to check out early.
- 40Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe young stars are attractive and capable, but Hotel de Love is as synthetic as an old "Love Boat" episode.
- This is billed as a romantic comedy, but it's much more boring than funny.
