(P) (P) Is work from home difficult? Try the Work from Hotel alternative in Bucharest

Work from Home has taken a centerfold in the Romanian capital Bucharest since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic which ousted people from their offices and forced them to adapt their work routines to their home environment. But does remote work have to be all about working from...home? Let’s look at a more and more attractive alternative: working from… the hotel.

With houses turned into improv office spaces, between sharing the living space with family and adapting the life patterns to the new setup, many have trouble focusing, which in turn makes their work less efficient. It’s especially hard to work from home for those who have kids. Homes are no longer just homes: they’re classrooms and playgrounds as school has moved online; they’re two offices in one.

Apart from issues with space allocation and disrupting the flows of the house, the work from home movement has another caveat: it can have a negative impact over the employee/manager/entrepreneur’s mental state. Recent studies show a significant drop in the work/life balance and a worsening of the wellbeing for those who work from home. Going back to office work is still in an unknown future, so cue in alternatives to work from home. One option has become extremely attractive lately - Work from Hotel. It is suited for company employees, freelancers and entrepreneurs who need a daily work routine outside their homes, in a safe, clean, and well managed space.
