shared rooms

Multiple occupant lodging

Shared rooms are accommodations where multiple people, often strangers, occupy the same sleeping space—typically in hostels, dormitories, or budget lodgings.

The term distinguishes these from private rooms: The hostel offers both shared rooms and private rooms.

Shared rooms usually cost less but sacrifice privacy, with guests sharing not just the room but often bathrooms and common areas.
