What's wrong with that ?

Nothing, if you don't mind a constant stream of professionals turning tricks and their drunken clients marching through the corridors at all hours of the night.

Nothing, some prudes just don’t want to stay in hotels where other people have sex.

Odds are that the hourly-rate rooms would be on a different floor than the daily-rate floors for logistical reasons, which makes it even harder for me to see any problem with this.

There’s significant a cultural difference here too, in the areas where Oyo primarily operates young couples need these rooms just as much as prostitutes.

What you write may be true for Asia, but if you’re from the US, it makes sense to be wary of hotels offering hourly prices since it attracts a clientele that reduces the quality of life at the hotel. It’s not about being a prude, it’s the fact that hotels frequented by pimps, hookers, and drug dealers offer a less desireable experience.

After having a neighbor who thought it's a good idea to turn her rented appartment into an illegal hotel I'd say exactly the same thing, regarding quality of life, about Airbnb.

We’re discussing a Nepalese hotel, not a US hotel.

So true about the young couples bit. Look up "Stay Uncle".
