- [R8] Grand Hotel Mania・ My Manager Needs more expeditions: Its a fun game but gets tiring as do most games. The expeditions are super fun and keep me locked in to playing more levels. When there’s a large gap in expeditions, I definitely play less
- [R53] Grand Hotel Mania・ My Manager Hotel manager: I love this game! It makes you feel special to pretend to be a hotel manager and run your own hotel. I love how you have your own choice with different kinds of products and space to upgrade, and it increases how much time you have to beat the next level. Which helps me a lot because I am a bit slow on the time management piece.
- [R63] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game No Updates: The overall structure of the gameplay is well thought out and entertaining. However, the app crashes constantly and the game never works due to a massive lack of updates. Codigames needs to invest time into updating the software of their apps if they want to keep people playing, because this game has serious potential. It’s a shame they haven’t taken time to keep this game running smoo
- [R76] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Where did you all go?: It’s been what feels like an eternity since there has been any kind of major update. 1 year? 2 years? I’m shocked I still have this game installed.
- [R21] Grand Hotel Mania・ My Manager Great game, but spending money feels necessary…: I’ve been playing this game on and off for years, and while I genuinely enjoy it, I keep ending up deleting it for the same reason. Once you reach the harder levels, you’re basically forced to upgrade certain things to progress. The problem is that upgrades require gems, and gems are very difficult to get without spending real money. If you run out
- [R31] Grand Hotel Mania・ My Manager lame: this game doesnt do well if you dont have enough gems which the game doesnt give enough of when youre playing well. it doesnt make any sense. you cant get pass level 32 without updating items (which i cannot do without gems). theyre pushing too hard to make you purchase gems with real money. you shouldnt have to have gems in order to update, should just be able to do it with coins… will be d

- [R16] Grand Hotel Mania・ My Manager Won’t go past loading screen on my iPad: It just spins then freezes
- [R37] Grand Hotel Mania・ My Manager Crashing: Ever since the last update the game continues to crash
- [R64] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Doesn’t work anymore: Used to love this game. Now it won’t load on any device.
- [R67] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Can’t Progress: I’ve been on the third hotel for over a week and haven’t even made enough money to build a new room. It’s impossible to progress and I find myself just hopping on for 30 seconds very few hours to spend a the tiny bit I made offline. The games kinda tryna force me to spend money or something
- [R4] Grand Hotel Mania・ My Manager Bad expense: Expensive and built to make players buy coins

- [R109] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Cash grab: Worst game ever by the later levels the game is unplayable without more than 5xing your money it’s shameful that there are no good apps boo you
- [R118] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Deceptive: I’ve had this game downloaded for years and finished it probably 3-4 years ago at least. The game is fun but once you’re done that’s it. They NEVER make new content….ever. Don’t bother spending money to get the no ads or anything honestly because the developers will NEVER touch this game again. This particular developer has sooooo many games like this and they’re all the same. They add
- [R10] Grand Hotel Mania・ My Manager Expensive: Need free ways to obtain gems should not have to pay after certain level
- [R46] Grand Hotel Mania・ My Manager Pay to play.: I like the game. But you are unable upgrade anything without diamonds and unable to win without the upgrades. To get diamond you have to pay real money. If that would change I would keep playing. All the other reviews where the devs are saying you can get diamond by completing level or doing challenges are a lie. I played lots of rounds and only got 10 diamond tops! The videos will n
- [R103] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Needs Update: I haven’t touched this game in a year at least I’ve been waiting for an update for a new hotel but still nothing.
