About Sharing a Bathroom

You may have noticed that many of the hotels have shared, rather than private, bathrooms. This is a common feature for budget hotels where bathrooms are located in the hall rather than individual rooms and shared among guests staying on that hall. TripAdvisor Reviewers for the hotels above overwhelming say that shared bathrooms are clean and they rarely, if ever, had to wait to use them.
