Pension (hotel)

Previously, boarding houses shared laundry, breakfast and canteens. In recent years, each room has become accustomed to have its own washing and toiletries. Such boarding houses are often met in the English coastal cities (for tourists ]) and urban colleges (for students). Usually there were one or two elderly long-term residents. Bed and breakfasts could often arrange bed and breakfast (bed and breakfast only), half-board (bed, breakfast and dinner only), full board (bed, breakfast, lunch and dinner). Especially for families with children, accommodation (especially on a full basis) was an inexpensive alternative and much cheaper than accommodation in all but the cheapest hotels. In the UK, boarding houses were usually run by hostesses, some of whom maintained power in their homes: residents were not allowed to stay indoors during the daytime and could be subjected to strict rules and regulations strictly followed. ^[one]

The Bed and Breakfast principle, which exists in many countries of the world (for example, Great Britain, USA , Canada and Australia ), is a specialized form of boarding house, where guests or pensioners usually stay in bed in the morning, and where a long stay is considered rare. However, some pensions are hosted on a long-term basis in the UK by local authorities, who are legally obliged at home to people and families who do not have affordable social housing . Some of these guesthouses allow large low-income groups to share overcrowded rooms or otherwise exploit people with problems that make them vulnerable, for example, with irregular immigration status. Such a guesthouse may cease to be attractive for short-term guests, and residents may remain dissatisfied with living conditions for a long time. Very many old seaside living rooms, since cheap flights have reduced the demand for their original seasonal use.

In addition to the worldwide distribution of the Bed and Breakfast concept, there are equivalents to British pensions in other parts of the world. For example, in Japan , minshuku is almost the exact equivalent, although the normal layout will be equivalent to English half board. In Hawaii , where the cost of living is high and incomes are not far behind, it is common to take tenants (who are border guards in English terminology) who share the burden of total rent or a mortgage (mortgage) for payment.

In the Indian subcontinent, border guards are also known as paid guests. Paying guest stay in the house and share a room with internal amenities. Rates are nominal, and monthly payments usually include meals, bed, table and wardrobe. Rent can go up for a room in a high-class location with amenities such as single occupancy, air conditioning, and high-speed wireless Internet access.
