    Amazing VN with really interesting characters.
    The characters are beautiful, the story is really nice, with some tense moments, some jokes...
    You can get to really know why the charaters are the way they are.
    You'll love all of them.

    Decent game initially. Decent-ish scenes, decent character development and world building. The game feels a bit too pretentious at times, a bit preachy especially lately, but otherwise fun and well thought.

    The story is starting to feel really cluttered however.

    As yes, the defined classic. This is the game on RenPy I do compare others to. It's... I mean, it's a template, it should be perfect in most of aspects. The best H-Scenes on RenPy ever. Quality & beauty are extreme. 5/5.

    Some issues I'd cherry-pick out, like, dialogues sometimes may be w a y t o o l o n g and unnecessary, but, yeah... I don't think it's really a con. Also I've cheated in-game currency for no reason.

    EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF CONTENT. Give it a try, even if you're not a fan of RenPy stuff. This may & will suprise you.

    I didn't finish 0.16.2 version yet. I think I can review it though. Not your typical VN per se. A bit RPGMish sandbox management game made on Renpy. Premise is different. You have to work for the content. You build up your hotel from zero as well as your harem. Lots of navigation (feels like RPGM) so expect a long playthrough if you dedicate yourself to unlock all the content. Make money, and increase your stats with girls and upgrade your hotel to advance their subplots. Simple really. Girls are different and numerous but I think they are all a bit one dimensional and stereotypical (in order to fulfill fantasies). So for me, I can't say it was appealing to finish in one sitting because the lewd content you get is a bit average (pleasing to look at but not fappable hot). I get it that this game can be too demanding for an average AVN enjoyer. That doesn't mean though it is a bad game. It is a good game serving a niche audience.

    Great game with possibly the longest playthrough I've done.

    Normally I am not the biggest fan of free roams and sandbox game style, unless that is the central theme of the game and everything develops around it. That is the case here.

    The amount of diverse LIs with specific side quests is astonishing and certainly the game's selling point.

    Big plus for the game is the interesting and freaky theme.

    The game does not rule the genre in terms of graphics, but they are good enough to make for a nice playthrough.

    If you dislike harem games and especially honey select harem games, this might not be the one for you - but then again what did you expect from the name. If you don't mind that, definitely worth a play.

    8.5/10

    Best nsfw game I've played yet! Great dialogue, great h-scenes, great characters. I also appreciate Runey's attention to the game-side of the experience. Things are never grindy and it feels fun at all points!

    Perfect game all around and I can't wait for more updates!

    Great game to play :).
    I have been enjoying playing this game for quite some time and look forward to seeing it grow in the future.
    Thankyou for all the hard work in making it.
    Please keep up the hard work and don't go listen to anyone complaining about anything in the game, if they find a bug, they should report it, not complain about it.

    Awesome.
    Whats bad:
    • No pregnancy\birth.
    • Rails(if you try to select wrong choise - author bitching on you(dat rude) and make you pick "right" choice)
    • not a real game even in sense of VN(no routes, bad ends(and ends at all), just fapping and "Gotta Catch 'Em All!")
    • Not replayable(no point it it, just strait rails so it is always the same
    Whats good:
    • HS provides nice graphics, even though with some restrictions.
    • Its has long playtime,
    • Not so much grind.
    • Kinda sandbox.
    • Komfy.
    Very pleasant(thanks to HS), and also not push player by any means.
    Also much of content(more than has many other).

    No routes with main characters, actually you have no choice at all.
    With sidekicks(elves, Milf, others) it is "ok" vs " skip content".

    Actually there is one choice vith main heroine is there, but this is a trap!
    You have one dialogue where you can as you may think get another route.
    But nope. Author bitching about your wrong choice and about "i have no time for making branching" in many screens and walls of text(for that he has time, lol).
    Firstly that is rude.
    Secondly - why you adding the choice then?

    So the komfy "game" where you have not much to do. (+1)
    HS graphics(+3 to Illusion, not author)
    Rude Author (-2)
    Result 2/5.

    Harem Hotel is a wonderful game that has developed from a simple concept with basic archetypes allowing for kink content, to a narrative full of well rounded characters, each with their own rich lives and interactions. As a polyamorous person IRL, despite the fact that only Maria ever seems interested in having relations outside of MC, I find the interconnected community of all the Harem members to feel genuine to real polycules I know and have been a part of.

    On the characters:

    Having played this game from early versions and just replayed the full game recently, the evolution of the girls has been a breath of fresh air, and I cannot fathom how any of the reviews saying that these girls don't behave like real people can think that.

    From the trauma of oppression, seen in the elves, to the isolation of Androids experience, there are people I know in real life who map onto these characters incredibly well. Maria's crisis of self, when they realize that they've been masking around society, trying to be who she thought people wanted her to be, rather than herself, is an experience I have personally, and which most of the people in my life can relate to, as many of us are neurodivergent. And when she finds out about her parentage, I couldn't help but think to my friends' descriptions of their experiences. Both those of mixed heritage, and those of forgotten heritage, who were raised disconnected from their cultural identities, and found themselves needing to seek that community. Even Android, who is literally not a biological being, has relatable experiences, in her isolation due to feeling unique, in her fear of how society will view her due to biological essentialism, and in her need to find friendship in others, but not knowing well how to relate to them, because she lacks their social understanding. I could go on, and likely will elsewhere about each individual girl, but yeah, I can't help but find these girls as no longer being basic archetypes, like the cute one, the yandere, the tsundere, etc, and are now full characters for whom those archetypes are merely single facets of a broader personality.

    The world:

    While the game can get infodumpy at times, it's natural as this is a fantasy world that needs to explain its setting history and lore to us. More recently, I appreciate how Runey has been able to integrate that into the story better, giving us characters who care about this or that facet of it, and needing an outlet to share that with others, or finding a reason for a character to have need to learn it. Maria learining about the Tindi, Autumn learning about the Seldarine, the battle of perspectives in the first trip to the Museum, as Maria, Lin, and Autumn give their knowledge of the events and people we learn about therein. All of this is much more engaging that people are giving it credit for, especially when you consider the most famous fantasy novel of all time literally starts by giving us the entire family tree of a character who only matters because they found a fucking ring and give it to their "nephew".

    Whats more, I personally love the way Runey has tied all of this world building into political commentary, highlighting inequality, giving us characters who feel a need to be involved in and act on their views. Some reviews I read find the political messaging of this game to be unsubtle, and to an extent, it is. But as the saying goes, I know authors who use subtext and they're all cowards. Sometimes a message doesn't need subtlety. But also, in a recent Lin event, two humans who have never seen an elf call her "articulate" and want to "touch her ears". And sure, anyone can see how that would make a person uncomfortable, but have you ever been in public and had a middle aged white woman who you don't know, walk up to you and ask to touch your hair? Because that's a real thing that my indigenous, black, and ginger friends deal with in our society, and complain about, as a strange violation of bodily autonomy and consent that way too many people think is normal. Being able to see your struggles mirrored in art, even porn, is good, actually.

    The Porn:

    Despite the heavy message, the deep characters whose stories can be depressing at times, the sexual content of the game still feels good, genuine even. The kink community is actually a safe space for a lot of people, both those of marginalized identities, and those who survived abuse, neglect, or other trauma. So this game allowing its characters to explore their sexualities through their safe relationship with the MC feels genuine, and for me, heightens the sexual arousal, because nothing is more hot than consent, and I say that as someone who has a CNC kink, like Kali, but in MC's role.

    In many ways, the fact that this game has characters who I can believe and relate to, and a message and lore that runs deep and hits on real struggles, makes the porn side of it better. My experience with sex and sexuality can't be removed from my experience with trauma, with neurodivergence, with my identity being politicized. HH allows me, more than most games, to self insert. And I'm not even a man. I relate more to this game and its characters than I do to smaller more contained stories that don't make room for expansive identities outside of the relationship with the MC. And yet, many games with larger casts also fail this test, instead making the characters feel increasingly shallow, as they all essentially only exist for the MC's pleasure. Harem Hotel does a good job of creating characters who feel like they have lives outside of their sexual life with MC, and they're more attractive for it.

    The Art:

    I have always appreciated HH for the art. I know it's all made with illusion programs, thus giving Runey fewer tools to make the characters unique, but Runey has always still found a way to make the girls feel different from other games using the same software for character creation.

    I do recognize that Runey has in many ways reached the limits of the technology, but I don't fault them for it, rather I appreciate how it still feels mostly unique and how the characters feel different. Sure, Daz might give more tools, but at the end of the day, it's just a more modular character designer, and plenty of Daz users can't create truly unique looks with it either. So I do appreciate how Runey has made the best of what they've got.

    Criticism:

    I know Runey has a lot on their plate, and this game has gotten very large. It's up to the members of the community who are giving feedback to help with this, but there are still a few inconsistencies that need addressing.

    Lin describes having spent time with the Sand Elf chieftain when she mentions her initially, that the chieftain had promised they'd take Lin back to their community with them if they needed to when the uprising was over. However one of the next story bits with Lin has her retell this story with a flashback that makes it seem like a single chance meeting and they never run into one another again. These inconsistencies sometimes take us out of the game, but they can be addressed and tweaked over time, the game is still in development.

    Elf Memory is a somewhat nebulous incosistency that I think could be solved pretty easily. For those who don't know, memory is actually heavily effected by ones psychology. Trauma can cause memories not to be written, can cause written memory to be forgotten or changed. Context from the future can color past memories to change your interpretation. Lin not remembering her parents well, but not being able to forget the sister who she credits with saving her makes sense in this context, but without it, feels inconsistent. Introducing this concept shouldn't be hard, it could even be a throwaway line from Maria, who studied psychology, but would definitely help to allow elves to have spotty memories, and actually create another element of their oppression. They are a species that shouldn't forget, but they do, because of what slavery is doing to them. That has power.

    This is a little thing, but I say, don't be afraid to call a spade a spade. Kate is autistic. From an abled perspective it might seem like a good idea to leave it vague, as you don't want to fetishize disability, but that is better done by fleshing a character out, which over her 8 story interactions and the riddles thus far, she has been. A reality of ableism in our society is that people have a problem seeing autistic people as sexual beings, they often childize them, and that is really a problem. So while this game is making the messages it is, it would actually do well to call these spades for what they are. Let her be autistic. Let Maria, Kali, Ashley, and Hana discover their own neurodivergence, because I promise, as a neurodivergent person who finds community with other neurodivergent people, all of them are. Let all of them find solidarity with Android, who due to her having sapience, but being a machine without the neural pathing of a human, nor the social upbringing, what we normally call nurture, not the ability to relate well to the complex social constructs we have to navigate in society, would find herself feeling similar to Kali, Ashley, and Maria especially, through different aspects of their life. In a way, Ashley being the one to talk to her when she was depressed did this, in a way the fact that Kali is seen as her psychiatrist does this, in a way, Maria was literally trying to teach her how to mask in the bar. All that's needed is a little acknowledgement of what all this is to make it feel more inclusive than it already does from my perspective.

    A little more nuance. Lin and Nia, in particular, but also Maria, Vanessa, and Sylvia, need to be given the opportunity to develop more specific ideological stances. Lin's current pacifism is very simplistic, and naive, and has the potential to lead to another disaster, like the one with the High Elf Queen. The Lin we had to help spark hope in again should be more receptive to criticism from people like Nia and Silvia on this. Nia too needs a little more nuance though. There have been hints that she knows full well that she's only practicing harm reduction right now, but the interaction with Vanessa, and the way she talks to Lin and MC sometimes, it makes her come off as thinking of herself as being more effective at changing things than she has previously acknowledged. I absolutely think that her belief of "we live in a system that is actively violent toward us, and thus my violence is self defense" is valid and should be held and shown in the game, but it needs nuance, and it needs to make room for tactics that build community without that violence being the center. Lin and Nia can have different approaches without opposition, because what they're working toward is going to need way more cooks and supply line workers and builders than it is going to need fighters. Lin can do what she needs without inciting violence, while allowing for planning from people like Nia to protect what people like Lin are doing from the inevitable violence of the state.

    Conclusion:

    This game is amazing, it has come so far, and I know it still has a lot of places it can go. I personally can't wait to see how this game continues, what characters we'll meet, and how the ones we already know will interact with the changes we are seeing happen.

    The biggest weakness of Harem Hotel is its art, which looks quite dated in 2022. Pretty much every other aspect of the game is good, from the setting, to the characters, to the writing.

    Currently (v0.16) there is a tonne of content to get involved with and Runey has always been a reliable developer, so I highly recommend giving the game a try.

    This is one of the games I watch religiously for updates.

    The story is good, with each character (even a lot of the minor ones) having pretty well developed backstories and personalities. The overall story/setting is also well done, with various characters stories crossing or merging together at points.

    I also like that there's no time constraints, you can advance largely at your own pace w/o fear of really missing anything.

    TL/DR: The finest sandbox game in the business. It is a cute S.O.L. harem builder with some mildly dark cultural undertones. Manages to be somewhat dramatic and interesting despite its tame demeanor. Allows for a very vanilla approach to some heavier kinks (BDSM / Exhibitionism) that are mild enough to appeal to vanilla enthusiasts but also gives the game a little extra oomph.

    + Diverse cast of female characters with lots of different vibes / narratives.
    + Sandbox is super-saturated with content!
    + Building up stats feels very rewarding.
    +The new explore feature could help build some interesting narratives.
    +The sister's / twin content is very hot.
    +Diverse suite of female body types to enjoy.
    +The "lust" system and resulting events is super hot.
    + A cornucopia of various scene content.
    + Tangible character development arcs.
    + Very organic free-play style.
    + MC feels powerful.
    + Great content for people who like the combination of Maledom/Femsub & praise kink.


    Neutrals / Minor gripes.
    - There is only so much one can do to make a Honey Select male character model look good. They are all so bad. MC looks good within the context of Honey Select , but its a rough platform for male characters
    - There wasn't a clear way to be able to determine what the perks on the gals does.
    -Animations are a bit clippy- but they are still very erotic and the positions are fun.


    Negatives
    - I really, really disliked that the best way to get ahead of the economy in the early game is to sell nudes of your LI to random buyers. It'd be nicer if there was another more wholesome way to make some early game cash.

    0.16 added some city content that can triage this issue- but it isn't obvious. Maybe Ellen's "how do I make money" option should mention looking for a job in the city as well as the pin-ups when you ask her about it.
    - Would be nice to be able to spend cash on more things. You run out of things to buy around mid-way through the game loop. Maybe some more cosmetics. Just to feel cool.

    I have been following this game since 10.0 and I must say the writing, the characters are amazing. The sex scenes are okay, they are passable. I highly recommend Harem Hotel. Some of the characters are a little cliché, but refreshingly so. The game isn't really that grindy, if at all. There are ways to get cash other than the 5 you get from guests, you can also use cheats if you feel it is needed. And isn't really hidden behind a patron wall. Definitely give this game a try!

    Probably my favorite game on this website or any other website with porn games on them. I think I've been playing it since at least version 1.10, and it hasn't stopped getting better ever since.

    The graphics are great, different from the usual ones I see when it comes to 3D games. The story is amazing, but the best part is obviously the characters. Characters matter the most in games like this, so it should be only natural, but some of you would be surprised at how many games have unlikeable characters.

    And I'm not joking when I say I love every character (among the ones in the hotel of course) and ever since (spoilers!) we've learned the android can take control of other androids, I've been thinking of taking over the world lmao. (You don't need to be scared of losing me if you help defeat my own mortality with the help of technology, my dear robot friend!)

    They're all likable in their own way. Naturally, I have preferences, but I still like all of them. Usually, I'm more attracted to older women, milfs you know, so that's also the type I like best in porn games. Even if I don't have anything against petite bodies, I still prefer women with curves and huge tits. However, Lin is actually my favorite character! It's safe to say that I personally think she beats all the other characters in every field except maybe sex appeal and 'sexiness', but that's subjective.

    Anyway, props to the dev, I love this game.

    Dev has gotten consumed by his storyline. After a certain point, I just gave up. Please get back to the pr0n, it was amazing before devolving into this insanely detailed revolution storyline I couldn't give less of a fuck about.

    Harem Hotel was a treat. Stories were awesome and the girls had a ton of depth. Very impressed with the amount of work that it took to create this game. I have over 15 hours into the game and it feels like i am not even close to being done. My favorite character is probably Kali followed by Lin. Each girls personality is unique and fun. Some stories are sad and others funny.
    The art is good, not great. Lots of animations though makes up for it.
    If you are thinking about trying it out, just do it.

    Surreal garbage, which lacks any logic, but there is a terrible image quality and there is nothing to give immersion in this game, people in reality simply do not communicate in the same way shown in this visual novel.

    There's a reason this game is almost 5 stars, its literally perfect. The amount of characters and animations there are with said characters will literally ruin every single porn game out there for me now. This game is full of content and ways to satisfy your fantasies, if youre reading this I cant recommend the game enough. THIS IS .15 and i'm over 120 days and still haven't finished any of the content with the main girls. That's with a walkthrough too. Anyway I figured id sing my praises to the dev of this game and thank them for blessing me with this masterpiece.

    Excellent game whit so much content . This games is one of the best I have played since it is a 2017.
    - So much content in this game that's just awesome
    - Diversified harem whit different girls that's a +++
    the only thing that I think that they should optimize its adding new graphical up to todays machine , 5 years old graphics it start to be a bit old
