    You can’t actually. If there’s an infinite number of rooms and infinite guests occupying them then there are no open rooms.

      Next-best strategy: make the set of guests who have to be moved arbitrarily sparse, so that 0% of the hotel’s guests need to be bothered. Oh dear, that’s still infinity of them.

      Depends on the size of the infinities. If you have an infinite natural number of guests, but infinite real number of rooms, then you have more rooms than guests.

      Wrong: ∞±n = ∞

      The concept of infinity is well-defined in mathematics. It goes much deeper than that, with countability and differently-sized infinities, but if there are infinite rooms, you always have space.

        Yes, but walking down the hallway you’ll never find an open room. Space can be made but you can’t just go to the ∞+1 room.
