You do realize it's not really frowned upon in Eastern culture. Families typically live in the same house for generations, so it's used more as a way to get some private time with a spouse, than just some random nobody.tigermilk said:

Yep, because nothing gets people in the mood like being reminded of Christian Bale's shrieking man-yelp...

I guess I need to explain to the Western people about Taiwan culture. Every single hotel lets people rent for 2 hours at a time. This is because Taiwans has an amazing public transport that's pretty cheap, so pretty much everybody backpacks around the country quite often, and most people only need a room to sleep for the night for about 6 hours or less (since Taiwan has an amazing nightlife).
Also, many Taiwan people are very aware of how their money is spent, so they want to find places that are cheap but also luxurious, and they argue that they only need a hotel room for a few hours to sleep, so the pricing should be adjusted cheaper. And because there's such a huge demand for this, the hotels comply. It's like going to Vegas, you'll only spend about 5 to 6 hours in the rooms to sleep, so why pay full price when you can charge by the hour? It's also beneficial to the hotels too.

It's like a childhood dream...I...I think I'm gonna cry...
You are wrong. This is the best thing that anyone could have ever spent money on, ever.Quiet Stranger said:
I haven't heard of that... But a morbidly curious part of me wants to know more, whilst the rest of my mind pleads with that part to shut up and leave me in peace.Sixcess said:
Still, this has much more pulling power than most bat caves purely because it's not Batman's parents' basement.
Not a word of a lie, this hotel is about ten minutes from my house. Hourly rate hotels are extremely common here and many of them have discrete drive-in entrances with a private garage to keep out the prying eyes of the paparazzi. The hourly rates are euphemistically advertised as "rest-rates."
For future reference, the rate in your article should probably be written as NTD1400 or NT$1400. The New Taiwan Dollar is the name of the currency of Taiwan. Yuan is technically correct, but you don't often see anyone advertise their prices in English using Yuan. In fact, lots of places just use a dollar sign.
