The compound 空房 (kòngfáng, "vacant room") joins 空 (kòng, "unoccupied") and 房 (fáng, "room") to describe a room left open for use.

Usage tips

  • Its practical setting is reservation and lodging language, so it commonly appears in questions about whether a hotel can offer a room rather than in descriptions of a room's furniture.
