More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for American Horror Story Hotel All Critics (48) | Top Critics (25) | Fresh (26) | Rotten (22) In short, what's old is new again, a theme many hotels have used in their day. For Horror Story, heading into its fifth season, it sure feels due. Oct 7, 2015 | Full Review… Amber Dowling TheWrap Top Critic Disturbing us is the point, of course, but good horror stories go beyond grotesqueries and gore. American Horror Story: Hotel may do that, but I won't know; I don't plan to spend another night there. Oct 7, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Critic The findings are auspicious. AHS: Hotel more obviously resembles the first two, better seasons of American Horror Story than it does the latter, lesser two. Oct 7, 2015 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic AHS: Hotel has the subtlety and texture of Gaga's ill-considered meat dress. But it sure is a butcher shop. Oct 7, 2015 | Rating: C- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic They're pushing boundaries. Screw your need for normalcy. You can get that anywhere. And, on that level, Hotel works. The question of quality comes down to the tolerance you have for style over substance. Oct 6, 2015 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic If it falls short, that could be because the premiere feels more cruel than scary. Oct 7, 2015 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic Ryan Murphy and company have set the stage for a monstrous fifth season that's boasting its ability to be unapologetic from sex to the drugs and violence. May 8, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Brad Miska Bloody Disgusting American Horror Story: Hotel does not inspire interest. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 15, 2018 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) This season was certainly the only season... to not drop off any storyline or have any plot holes through the season which was a welcome surprise, and there were some great characters. Jun 26, 2018 | Full Review… Cameron Ferguson Black Girl Nerds American Horror Story fans will no doubt enjoy Hotel, which may turn out to be the most elaborate and entertaining season yet. Jun 18, 2018 | Full Review… Oliver Whitney ScreenCrush It's fitting that American Horror Story: Hotel initiates a pop star's transition from music to television with a scene that's essentially a hybrid of the two. Aug 10, 2017 | Full Review… Alison Herman Flavorwire The violence, all set that anodyne, pumping pop soundtrack, is unequivocally gross. Jul 24, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Fisun Guner The Arts Desk View All Critic Reviews (48) Audience Reviews for American Horror Story: Hotel Jan 28, 2020 This season is just disturbing. I can't understand why they have to be so graphic. Kathrin K Jan 18, 2020 An extra star given for Evan Peters performance, I'd have liked to have seen more of him in this season. I feel like with it being the first season without Jessica Lange, they tried too hard. Also, that weird thing that "drills", was just plain disturbing! Debbie D Jan 16, 2020 All the darkness and maleficent spirits are hidden inside this misterious hotel. By far is one of the best seasons Mauricio D Jan 06, 2020 An incredible example of just how insufferable the show is. Pure Trash. Connor L Jan 05, 2020 I honestly would have given up on this season if it wasn't for Lady Gaga, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, and Denis O'Hare who stole the show with their terrific performances! The story, however, was very complicated and mixed, but thankfully the season had its share of creepiness and disturbance. Daniel N Dec 24, 2019 This season focuses more on visually stylish, gratuitous violence without much of the storytelling that makes the show entertaining. (C) Joshua M Dec 11, 2019 Not as good as the other seasons that came before it within the AHS family, but still great, hearty writing. It had a "Murder House" feel in that random characters kept popping up in random places when you weren't expecting them to, and you had no idea why. Lady Gaga's vampire role was great and vampires are sexy as a whole so that concept was lovely. Overall, great writing. Slightly predictable plot, but still masterfully executed. Ashley H Nov 19, 2019 Great season. Underrated. The sets and cinematography alone are amazing. Colin W Nov 15, 2019 bajo un poco su calidad la serie después del 8tavo capitulo Nov 02, 2019 "Hotel" shows us how the show can go on without the presence and prominence of Jessica Lange, who had said she would not return to AHS. From incredible performances in which the main cast shows us every year their skills to make their characters the best. Lady Gaga's integration was a big positive surprise, as her performance as "The Countess" was mysterious, sexy and bloody. The plot of the "10 Commandments Killer" was very ingenious and carried afloat all season, perhaps with predictable plot twists and unnecessary subplots, but still "AHS: Hotel" still has that wonderful invisible look that makes "American Horror Story" epic.
