shared room

Split living space

A shared room is sleeping accommodation occupied by multiple people, typically strangers, as in hostels or dormitories.

The term appears frequently in travel bookings to distinguish from private rooms: I booked a shared room to save money.

In hospital contexts, it means a patient room with more than one bed.
