The benefit of starting the number at 1 is the majority of apartment blocks and hotels can have 4 digit room numbers with the first digit representing the floor it's on.
E.g. room 4201 is on 4th floor and 1691 is on 1st floor
Room 0123 isn't an option? With 0 being the ground floor?
It's not the zeroth floor, it's the ground floor. G123.
I like this system, but only above ground. I had a meeting room that was in 0008 and that just hurts to say verbally.
On the second floor you would say something like twenty-o-eight.
"Room eight"
"Room two thousand eight"
