Colin and Justin's Hotel Hell — what do Colin and Justin say about the series?
Colin and Justin say: “We’re super excited to be returning to Channel 5 with this series that follows our Canadian hotel adventure. It started in the early part of the pandemic when we felt locked out from our regular lives in Glasgow, London and Toronto."
"When we stumbled across an exciting hotel for sale in Cape Breton in need of major updating but with so much potential, we emptied our bank account and ploughed our pension into the purchase."
"What we quickly learned is that there’s no such thing as a bargain. Have we made the wrong decision, and can our relationship weather the storm? As hoteliers with no experience whatsoever, some might say we’re in over our heads, but we can’t wait to see what happens next.”
