About Hotel Magnate

Hotel Magnate is a tycoon/simulator game that gives you the tools to build and manage your own hotel, motel, luxury resort, or shabby shack. It is whatever you make of it. Beginning with nothing but dreams and an empty lot, you can shape your hotel to your liking. Pick from an assortment of rooms and facilities that will grow both your floorspace and your revenue stream. Build restaurants for the foodies, day spas for the vacationers, and conference halls for the workaholics. There’s a wide range of rooms to choose from. Once you’ve laid down the foundations, it’s time to pick out the decor. That’s right; you get to customize everything down to the furniture and decorations. Make it wacky, make it classy, or change up the theme from room to room. You will attract different types of guests as your hotel grows and its rating changes, bringing new opportunities and challenges. Remember, the customer is usually wrong, but you’re in the service industry now. Get your hotel in shape, slap on your best smile, and be prepared for whatever comes.
  • Build, furnish, and oversee your own hotel
  • Tend to your guests' needs and demands, and attract wealthier clientele by improving facilities and securing better ratings
  • Hire employees to clean, serve, manage, and maintain your hotel
  • Take control of the inner-workings of your hotel by managing bedrooms, wages, restaurants, and many other operations
  • Become adept at marketing to attract different types of guests and generate buzz

The facilities you provide have a major impact on the types of guests your hotel attracts. Each facility attracts a certain type of client, but might convince others to stay well away. Are you thinking about creating a health and wellness resort? Gym and spa facilities will go a long way to attract health-conscious holidaymakers.
  • Guest rooms and en-suite bathrooms
  • Restaurants
  • Kitchens and laundry
  • Bars/Nightclubs
  • Pools, gyms, spas
  • Staff-rooms
  • & Much More!

Hire staff to keep your hotel running smoothly. Be sure to pick the right people for the various positions, as each will have different skill levels and wage demands.
Your hotel will be frequented by many guests, including but not limited to:
  • Backpackers
  • Partygoers
  • Families
  • Luxury seekers
  • Health nuts
  • A strange fellow named George
Don’t forget to keep an eye on your hotel rating! If you offer poor accommodation to your guests, do not expect them to be friendly when they put their reviews online. Ratings will naturally affect how many clients you receive in the future, as well as the type. Hotel Magnate provides players with an enormous amount of customization and choice, allowing you to create a piece of paradise or a nightmarish motel. Your decisions will affect every aspect of play, so be prepared to deal with the consequences.

✦ AI summary

The game has an interesting concept but suffers from significant execution issues that undermine the experience. Players consistently report poor controls, unclear tutorials, excessive bugs, and clunky gameplay mechanics that make it frustrating to play, with some mechanics like manual clicking for firefighting feeling tedious rather than engaging. Combined with apparent lack of developer support and updates, most players feel the game needs substantial work before it can compete in the crowded management game genre.

I love the idea of this game and was so looking forward to it, but it was a huge disappointment. The tutorial didn't actually show how to do anything. I've played enough of these games to figure things out, but it was frustrating. Then before I made any progress a fire started. By the time I had figured out what to do it had massively spread and the only response seemed to be clicking each square multiple times to manually put it out. If I waned to play a clicker game, I would be playing one. I hate that kind of thing. I just immediately quit and won't be playing it again. I'm an avid tycoon/management game player and the issues with this one completely drove me away.

idea is good, but the game play is not. Horrible controls and limited documents/help leaving you trying to figure out where things are located and how to do them. feels clumsy. Needs a LOT of work. I wouldn't pay more than 5 dollars to try this because as is you will forget it pretty quickly.

This game was fun in EA, then the devs added new things to make it 1.0 and left it in a very buggy state. Fire Suppression is totally bugged, which breaks the campaign for me. Can't get past the first mission. Don't waste your money on a broken game.

Needs More time, Just isn't enjoyable at its current state with so many competitors in the hotel management genre this cannot compete as much as I would like it to, Disappointed hope it continues to improve as haven't had updates since October last year. Got my money's worth but wouldn't purchase it at full price maybe at a deep deep discount. https://trello.com/b/WOeuufU1 shows no dev activity at all
