I suspect that in hotels the floor structure is much thicker, so you can first install a larger fall before it possibly goes into a branch. Also, ventilation is often done carelessly. That’s this Tetra Pak effect. When you cut open a Tetra Pak and pour it into a glass, it gurgles and the flow "chokes." It’s very easy to fix by poking a hole on the opposite side. Then the water just flows smoothly into the glass. Familiar. The same thing happens with sanitary drains as well. However, if the ventilation is undersized, too far away, or worst case completely omitted, it also "gurgles" in the drain, causing the water sometimes to even come back at you. But this actually has nothing to do with the type of drain. My criticism of the wall drain is that it is simply much harder to reach if you ever have to access it. Cleaning the hair strainer is something you basically always have to do regularly, at least if at least one user of the shower has longer hair. With the wall drain, however, it’s a real hassle. You can remove and put back the insert from the floor drain reasonably well, right? If there is a clog, you might still be able to get a drain snake into the wall drain. Plungers or anything else are useless there; either you need an inspection hatch above it (not a good idea in the shower) or you have to open the whole wall. Geberit has by now become for me a synonym for what happens to quality when a large market power arises for whatever reason. But I also don’t know if there are inexpensive and good alternatives. My plumber said that with floor drains there really aren’t any sensible alternatives.
