Is Habbo still a Hotel?

[Daltron]

So this thread got me thinking, is Habbo still even a hotel now?

I remember years ago, even though many public rooms were not overly popular, their mere existence sort of tied the whole concept of a hotel together.

With the lack of public rooms it poses the question of whether it's more an apartment building or something like that (if it were to be categorised as some form of private property) since we no longer have the bars, clubs, gardens, hallways etc, or is the Welcome Lounge and Theatre enough to warrant the status of a hotel?

A silly question I guess sorta, but the entire basis of Habbo was to be a hotel to chat to others online right?
Do you think it's still a hotel or moved on from that?

It has always been the Motel California:

"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave".

nah tab still says habbo hotel.


the loss of public rooms does make it feel slightly less hotel-y, and the addition of tons of furni, but at the end of the day, it's a collection of rooms in one fictional building, which is still hotel-like I guess?

[Cupids]

it was mainly the public rooms which made it hotel like

Yea it doesn't really feel like it with the loss of the hotel view screen and public rooms removal!
