Hotel Tales 100% Completion

Hotel Tales on Steam (app 3413800) is a probation-length job sim, not an infinite live-service grind. “100%” still means several full calendars: 52 Steam Achievements, Gallery and Hotel Stories entries, guest cards and outfit packs, four staff romance routes plus four guest arcs, and the ending variants those flags produce. Cosmetic DLC — Animations Pack, Artbook, comics, skins, soundtrack, wallpapers — does not add achievement slots. Treat Deluxe as presentation extras, not a completion shortcut.

Install through Patch 1.0.7 (August 8, 2026) before you start a trophy calendar. That build fixed achievement unlock conditions, coin resets when swapping saves, relationship values that failed to reset on load, missing Gallery mini-games, and Paulo’s bad ending. Patch 1.0.3 remains mandatory for choice-save honesty. A completion run on a pre-1.0.3 client can look “finished” while Steam and the hotel disagree about what you chose.

This page is a practice map, not a fake overlay dump. Steam’s achievement list is the name authority — public highlights include Case closed, I remember everything!, Pino’s BFF, The cursed porter, Taste of blood, and hidden strings such as My home is my castle and 1312!. We will not invent percentages or unpublished hidden conditions. Pair overlay names with the system groups on Achievements.

What 100% actually contains

Track	Where it lives	Why it needs extra saves
52 Steam Achievements	Overlay after day-one integrations patch	Routes, mini-games, nights, and endings compete
Gallery + Hotel Stories	In-game Gallery; VO added in 1.0.7	Previews and missing mini-games were patched in
Cards & outfits	Collectibles	Guest quests and cosmetic packs are separate from Steam trophies
4 staff + 4 guest arcs	Romance Routes	Evening time is finite
Endings & mysteries	Endings, Mysteries	Paulo dinner flags and Owner professionalism pull opposite ways
Owner / Mistress rewards	Owner Rewards	Office access vs staff evenings

Demo progress does not import. Start retail saves even if you already cleared Demo Walkthrough luggage and spa tutorials.

Hotel Tales Gameplay Part 1 — Searching for Paulo (retail series opener)

Recommended calendar (four saves, not one hero file)

Keep at least four named slots plus a rolling “before dinner / before night event” duplicate. Label them in your notes, not only in Steam’s cloud list.

1. Story-first save. Finish probation with one staff focus (often Pasithea or Laveau) so you learn check-in, spa, disco, and bar peaks. Chase only obvious mid-run unlocks. Read Retail Walkthrough and Shift Planning so evenings are not random.
2. Opposite-tone save. Steam’s store copy says the hotel adapts if you play caring, authoritative, or indifferent. Alternate flags — including darker bed scenes the marketing warns are not on the “right” path — need a second personality, not a single perfect employee.
3. Guest-arc save. Griselda, Solomon, Lady Borealis, Paulo / Jotun nights steal the same clock as staff dates. Do not expect one file to max every guest plus every coworker.
4. Investigation / Owner save. Mysteries & Paulo dinner flags, Hotel Owner professionalism, and Night Events intervene-versus-watch forks. Duplicate before rituals and portals so both watch and intervene can register if overlay names imply both.

Use Saves & Voice after 1.0.7 so coins and relationship meters do not leak between slots when you click Continue.

Mini-games, Gallery, and Hotel Stories

Department peaks are the cheapest extra hours: spa stages, Pasithea’s three-stage disco, Laveau’s bar defense, luggage, cocktails, and keys. Keep a save before a hard peak and retry without replaying the whole day. Mini-Games is the practice sheet.

After 1.0.7, open Gallery and confirm missing mini-games and refreshed card previews actually appear. Hotel Stories now has voice-over; if a story plays the wrong background after a load, that was a documented 1.0.7 bug — reload a clean slot rather than assuming the entry is permanently broken. Gallery & Hotel Stories tracks the viewer side of completion.

Public achievement names without a spoiler sheet

Treat these Steam-highlighted titles as reminders of systems, not as walkthrough steps:

• Case closed / I remember everything! — investigation and memory flags sit near Paulo, Key Phrases, and hotel lore. Cross-read Key Phrases.
• Pino’s BFF — relationship-style unlock; overlay is the definition. Do not assume a wiki-invented NPC biography.
• The cursed porter / Taste of blood — tone flags that often sit on darker nights and guest bargains, not on a single “good ending” file.
• Hidden names such as My home is my castle and 1312! — chase them from the overlay list after you have a story-complete file, not on day one.

If an unlock fails after the correct scene, verify 1.0.7 achievement-condition fixes, then Troubleshooting before you replay a finale.

DLC, crossover skins, and what not to farm

Crossover Cast and the August 10 crossover bundle add skins, not extra Steam trophies. Comics Vol.1/Vol.2 live in a local Comics folder. Animations live in Animations. None of those folders fill the 52-achievement bar.

Post-Release Story DLC is still unreleased. Do not delay 100% waiting for future guests.

One hundred percent at the crossroads hotel is a filing cabinet of saves, not a single heroic shift. Label the slots, patch to 1.0.7, and let Steam’s overlay — not a rumor list — tell you what is still dark. Install through Patch 1.2.1 for the results screen and use Unlock Gallery after a route if scrapbook holes remain.
