Game developer Glu, mostly known for its popular time-management games, comes at you with yet another time-management game, which you can sink your teeth in, and called Hotel Dash. In Hotel Dash, you play as Flo, the business girl, who has tried to manage many kinds of businesses such as a diners, but this time you will try to manage hotels. Flo needs to settle the hotel guests into their rooms, bring their luggage up, bring them meals and just try to give them a great experience in a rundown hotel. Play as Flo and try to become the most successful hotel owner in the world! The game is pretty popular, downloaded over a million times with a rating of 3.9 out of 5 on Google Play Store and a 4 star rating on iOS App Store.
The game starts off with a small two picture story. In this story, you will see Flo’s friend telling how she is a very successful honeymoon planner, but she needs help to turn the rundown hotel in a very successful hotel before the precious guests arrive. Flo takes this mission on to herself and must do everything in her power to give the hotel a makeover and make it a very successful and clean business.
In Hotel Dash, your goal is to run the most successful Hotel in the world, and the way you can achieve this goal is by being focused and quick. A lever starts with a couple of guests standing in the waiting room. Every customer has a different colored outfit, and you will gain more money if you match those colors with the room color. Some guests come alone while others come in groups and you need to know beforehand to put those guests in the correct sized rooms. After you have done this, they will ask for their luggage, which you will need to pick from the ground floor and bring to their rooms using the elevator.
The guests will rest a bit after they got their luggage, but soon after they will ask for some food (and other things later on in the game), so you will need to go back downstairs and bring them their food. They will eat after which they will either pay and check out, or stay and sleep. Before you can check in the next set of guests, you will need to clean up the rooms by bringing the trash bags to the bin downstairs. You need to beware that there are also several “special” customers that have different types of moods. You can read up about them before the level starts so you can prepare yourself for them.
Every level has a minimum amount of cash you need to earn before you can successfully complete it, but there is also an expert amount of cash, and if you earn enough to achieve the expert level, you will get a nice cash reward at the end of the level. With the cash that you have earned, you can purchase several things to make your life as a hotel manager easier. You can purchase appliances such as an ice cube machine, or carts which will help Flo carry more things at the same time. You can also purchase upgrades for Flo such as better shoes so she will be walk around and complete actions faster.
Hotel Dash In-game store
Hotel Dash is advertised as a free-to-play game and it does not have an in-game store where you can purchase in-game cash to further your progress more easily. There are also no boosters or power-ups which you can purchase and use in-game. The only items you can purchase in the in-game store are other appliances, upgrades for your character and vanity items that will give your hotel a different look. All of these items are purchasable with in-game cash, which you can only earn by playing the game.
The only item you can purchase in Hotel Dash with real money is called the Hotel Upgrade. This upgrade will unlock four more hotels, forty levels, new customers, challenges and more. The Hotel Upgrade costs $4,99 and will be unlock all of those things forever. There are also six other hotels which the developer is working and, but it is not known if those hotels will be free-to-play or will cost money to play.
If you are currently playing Hotel Dash then you know how important it is to have location and levels in the game unlocked. It will take you a long time to unlock all of the levels and locations in this game, which is something most people don’t have time to do. You can purchase Hotel Upgrades through the app store, but this costs a bit of money, and this can get expensive if you make more than a couple purchases.
If you want to unlock all of the locations and levels, you need to download our free hack tool, which is safe for both iOS and Android devices.
Look at the picture below to see how easy the hack tool is to use, with a simple options menu where you will select to unlock the levels and unlock the locations.
If you would like to get the levels and locations without working for them, simply download our free hack tool right here on our website. The hack tool takes about 30 seconds to download and it will automatically install after that, which also takes about 30 seconds.
Once that is done, you need to select either iOS or Android depending on which device you are using to play the game. You can then select to unlock all the levels in Hotel Dash and then select to unlock all of the locations.
Simply press “Start” to run the Hotel Dash hack tool, and this process should take no more than 35 seconds, although it does depend on the speed of your internet connection and device. Once the hack has finished, simply open up Hotel Dash like normal, and you will notice that the locations and levels have been unlocked.
Using our free hack allows you to get the locations and levels without ever paying for anything through the app store or spending countless hours trying to get through the levels by actually playing them.
There are several websites out on the internet that claim they have a working cheat tool for Hotel Dash, which allegedly can give you unlimited cash and can even unlock all the other hotels so you can play in them for free. Now this sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? That’s because it is and such cheat tools are fake and are only designed to make money off of you. Before you can start downloading the cheat tool, you need to fill in a survey. Completing surveys will generate an income for both the cheat website and the download website, and that’s their goal. They lure people who are looking for cheats and make them fill in surveys before they can download the cheat tool.
For the sake of this review, I tried downloading one of those cheat tools to proof that it really didn’t work at all. I filled in a survey and my download started. I started the program and it looked like a normal program with Hotel Dash’s logo on it. I needed to connect my mobile device with my computer so that the cheat tool could inject different kind of files into it and change Hotel Dash’s game files. Of course this never actually happened because the program couldn’t “Detect my device”. Instead of looking for cheat tools for Hotel Dash, I will give you several tips and tricks that can help you with your gameplay.
Sometimes it is hard to complete a level at expert, but don’t worry. After you upgraded your appliances and character, you can go back and retry every level that you wish to retry, and easily get the expert rank on them. If you want to upgrade your appliances and your character, but you are low on cash, you should try to finish all ten levels of a hotel. This will unlock an endless mode where you can just keep playing and earning a lot of cash. After you have done that, you can upgrade everything about your character and purchase new appliances easily.
You should always try to look ahead and plan your actions accordingly. First of all you should try to match your customers’ clothes colors to the room colors so you can get a nice boost in cash. When your customers are sleeping, you should never try to check in other guests. The check-in call might wake them up and you will lose a chain boost. Once you have picked up an item, you cannot drop it anymore, so be careful with picking up the wrong items. For instance if you have a glass of ice, and no one asked for it, you will have to dumb it which costs $20 in-game cash. If your guests need to wait too long, they will lose patience and will get unhappy. You can always pick them up and hold them over the waiting area so their happy meter doesn’t decline.
Hotel Dash starts off with a nice little tutorial, teaching you the basic movements and goals of the game. After you have finished the tutorial, you will occasionally get a text bubble that will tell you about new upgrades or new customer types. I think this is a very nice feature, because casual mobile gamers could get confused and this will help them out nicely. The graphics and game mechanics of Hotel Dash have a familiar feeling because of the fact that the developer has released several other games with different names and gameplay on the app stores, which all have a similar goal. All those games including Hotel Dash are time-managements games, and while it is nice to have some sort of familiarity witch the in-game characters, it would have been nice if the developer added some new things every now and then. A nice aspect about the game is that there are many different guests and customers, upgrades you can apply to your character and new appliances you can purchase to earn more money in your hotel.
Unfortunately, there are also several negative aspects about Hotel Dash. For starters there are annoying pop-ups with advertisements or more games by the same developer, which are pretty obstructive. They show up right when you are about to tap on the screen and makes it feel like the developers try to trick people into clicking on the ads. I am not against free-to-play games having advertisements implemented in them, but they should be as less obstructive as possible for the player.
It feels like Hotel Dash is a very much unfinished game because I have counted a total of six hotels that have a “coming soon” sign, so they are unplayable. The game also is very limited in playable levels. You start in DinerTown Suits, which is the first hotel and has a total of ten levels, but after that, you need to pay $4,99 to unlock four more hotels, forty levels, new customers and challenges. I think this is very absurd for a free-to-play game, since you barely get to play the game at all before you already need to start paying money. The developer should look into really finishing the game and let players actually experience the game before they get asked to pay money to unlock more levels.
Artwork: I give Hotel Dash a 7/10 for its artwork. The graphics in Hotel Dash are actually pretty basic, but still decent enough for the type of game that it is. The artwork is cartoonish and fits the overall time-management theme. I don’t think a game such as Hotel Dash need High Definition artwork or 3D Graphics in order to be great. I like the fact that the characters have idle animations such as when they are getting unhappy when they need to wait too long. The idle animations make the game environment feel livelier and makes you want to be even quicker. I also would like to note that the developers did a good job on the objects you can purchase in the in-game store, to make the game easier. These objects are also pretty detailed and add a nice touch to the game.
Music & SFX: I give Hotel Dash a 7/10 for its music and SFX. I like the fact that there are several different soundtracks in Hotel Dash. The main menu has a soundtrack that is more relaxed and fits the hotel music theme, and once you start playing a level, the soundtrack changes to something different that brings a bit more excitement to the game. The gameplay soundtrack is faster paced and makes you want to be quicker when there are a lot of customers waiting. There are also many sound effects implemented in the game, such as tapping on menu buttons, or accomplishing things during your gameplay (putting customers in their rooms, bringing their luggage, bringing them food, picking up the check etc.) I think the soundtracks and sound effects actually fit pretty well together, and are easy on the ears.
Story & Originality: I give Hotel Dash a 5/10 for its story and originality. There is a very small backstory in the game where you have to change a rundown hotel into a five star lovers nest, but that is about it. A game such as Hotel Dash does not need a story to be entertaining but it is simply very unfortunate that the developers of Hotel Dash have already released other games with similar names and similar game mechanics. This makes Hotel Dash seem and feel like another one of those generic games that is just a cash grab for the developers. The only reason I am still giving it some points for originality, is because the game is a nice time-killer and can be entertaining to play occasionally.
General Gameplay: I give Hotel Dash a 7/10 for general gameplay. Once you get used to the gameplay and controls, the game will become straightforward but entertaining nonetheless. This is due to the fact that every level becomes harder to play and you will need to be quick on your feet in order to be able to achieve the expert score. Getting a higher score will get you more money to be able to purchase more upgrades for your character and hotel. The game controls respond smoothly and the interface is clean and clear.
Addictiveness: I give Hotel Dash a 5/10 for addictiveness. It is hard to get addicted to a game that limits its players to only ten levels before you have to pay up to unlock extra levels. It would have been nicer if there were at least several more hotels free-to-play so that the players could really get used to the game and actually would want to pay money to unlock more of it. The developers should look into fixing this, and also should try to complete the game for once.
All things considered, I give Hotel Dash a 6/10.
