The good doctor is in India, where particular guidelines might hold sway. It could well be that those guidelines are similar across tropical countries.
The equally parochial (British) Energy Saving Trust suggests 18 to 21 degrees as an ambient indoor temperature, while the World Health Organisation plumps for 18 degrees
So, while mileages clearly vary, 24 might seem on the high side especially for those used to temperate climates.
What is equally clear is that for a hotel attracting guests from around the globe, it is clearly sensible to have system in place that allows room temperatures to the ranges to which guests are habituated.
