Hotelitor

This book was a pleasant surprise! I was not expecting to enjoy this book as much as i did. I loved this concept of a robot also being a hotel its something ive never heard of and I think it is a great read for kids.
Thank you NetGalley for providing me an early copy of this read!

As someone who used to work in the hospitality business, I FELT our main character on a personal level. Guests can be TIRING

Anna, the main character, is working at a hotel in space and dealing with all the struggles that come with that aka guests and bad managers. Certain events happen and they’re under attack, the “adults” are no help and the teenage workers have to do all the work to save the day.

As someone who doesn’t read a ton of sci fi, I did enjoy this one. I feel like it was a pretty simply plot that I was able to easily follow. It did feel a bit silly at times but I enjoyed this, I think that can be expected with any sci-if/fantasy tbh. I thought the action throughout was fun and wasn’t overwhelming or overdone as it was spread throughout.

I thought the art style was cute. I liked the coloring, it was like pastely, not bright colors (if that makes sense) which I enjoyed.

I think if you’re looking for a graphic novel to introduce you to the sci fi this could be something to pick up. It is made for YA and I would definitely agree, it’s not graphic or anything like that so definitely appropriate for a teenager.

I’ll be looking to see if we get a volume 2!

This was a surprisingly deep and meaningful read for a graphic novel!
Or maybe, it was too relatable because it painfully accurately depicts some toxic workplace environments that happen out there in real life.
Manga-style art is bright and clear, yet feels somewhat very simple.

Have you ever had a boss who takes advantage of the hardest workers while taking credit for their accomplishments? If so, you'll be able to relate to this ragtag group of heroes.
Hotelitor is a new space hotel, and the employees think they have normal jobs until the hotel is attacked and they have to step up and save the day. Unfortunately, they're now stranded in space and things keep getting worse.
I think I had a smile on my face the whole time I was reading this. I loved the interactions with the crew and how they came to appreciate each other. The artwork reminded me of Scott Pilgrim.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this graphic novel

4.5 stars

What a cute little romp through space aboard the Hotelitor – a giant mech that also serves as a high-end hotel. The premise of this graphic novel is kind of hard to explain, especially without giving out too many spoilers.

It's a little bit sci-fi but it's also a story about capitalism and greed, and how those things affect each individual. If you've ever wanted to fight
your boss in an enormous robot in outer space, this is the story for you.

The art reminded me a bit of Scott Pilgrim. I'm not an artist so I'm sure it's actually not all that similar but anyway, it was cute. The characters were also endearing. I'm particularly fond of Beth.

There was one part near the beginning of the story that was crucial to the understanding of the work that I didn't quite grasp initially. That could have been a mistake on my part, but it could also have been that it wasn't super clear.

When Anna and the crew of the Hotelitor get into new shenanigans, I'd love to come along.

This was adorable. Hotelitor is a giant robot akin to Voltron or the Shogun Warriors, except in addition to that, it’s also a functioning hotel inside. I’ve never seen that before, so the premise was pretty unique to me! The story follows low-level hotel employees as the ship is attacked and they’re forced to take the helm. The main protagonist Anna is very relatable, and definitely a character you’ll root for.

The art style is so cute, reminding me a little of Infinity Train and Bee and Puppycat. Each character is visually unique—my favorites were Beth and Robert. I loved the spreads of space and the informative graphics about the ship. The crossword was a really cute touch, too.

I think this had just the right amount of action and was very well-paced. I read a lot of comics and graphic novels, and pacing is a hard thing to nail down. It’s short enough that you can finish in one sitting. This really does have a lot of charm.

In a very abstract way this reminded me of a combo of My Life As a Teenage Robot and Codename: Kids Next Door but with a little Fairly Odd Parents thrown in. I don't know what exactly reminds me of those but it felt reminiscent of just a fun, slightly goofy time.

I received an advanced copy in exchange for a honest review from NetGalley.

This is super cute and fun. It’s about an 18 year old girl who’s doing an internship in a hotel. (that also doubles as a giant robot defense system) and it gets attacked an random people who work there are forced to battle aliens and save the day.

If you’ve ever worked at a thankless job, there’s tons of jokes that will hit home and make you laugh, probably more so if you’re currently working one of those jobs. There’s definitely some commentary on class and social systems, and what it means to be the intern.

The art is super cute and has a fun vibe, it’s easy to follow, the story is clear, and the robot illustration maps are really cool. Robots, space, aliens, fighting, class systems, and a shitty job! A little something for everyone.
