And a 2. Double or Twin room with Shared Bathroom. Double shared means that the room shares a shower and toilet with another single or double room. A Jack and Jill bathroom is named after the two kids in the nursery rhyme, but they are typically meant for two siblings who have their own room to share.
A Jack and Jill bathroom is much like having an ensuite for both bedrooms. Privacy is ensured by having a lock on both doors. They are between bedrooms only. It's a bathroom shared between two bedrooms, with doors entering from each room. What does a shared bathroom mean in hotels? Ensuite means the bathroom is in your room and is only used by you. There's a bathroom in the hall. Our rooms had restrooms enquire. How does a shared bathroom work? A shared bath is simply that, a bathroom that you share with other guests.
The advantage to renting a room with a shared bath is the price. The bathrooms were located in the hallway and shared by all of the guests on that floor. How do Jack and Jill bathrooms work? What is a Jack and Jill bedroom? Jack and Jill bedroom is the term used by real estate agents to describe a bathroom accessible from two bedrooms. The "Private Bath" could be a rinky dink shower narrow hose in a small stall that was put in the small room. There would be wet vapor from the warm water, in the room.
Water from the shower could flow out onto the floor in the room. Water could spray out from a place that you did not expect water to spray out from, causing your clothes and towells to be wet. Many old buildings in Italy have improvised plumbing. An expensive hotel in Venice could have an unpleasant shower and problematic plumbing.
I've booked 4 of 6 of my accomodations and 2 are shared bathrooms. If you have any recommendations for Florence or Rome, let me know.
Salsachica - you mention the bathroom is directly outside the door to your room in Venice. Sometimes that is as bad as having the shared bathroom too far from your room because you can hear people slamming the door in the middle of the night, toilets flushing, shower pipes creaking early morning, people talking to each other in hall outside bathroom, etc. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Definitely bring flip flops to wear in the shower! The oddest experience I had with a shared bathroom in Europe was one place had a unisex bathroom that had 2 separate shower rooms divided by a 10 foot high wall that did not reach all the way up to the 12 foot ceilings.
As I shut off the shower and was drying off, I heard a man in the next shower stall over "spanking the monkey" and he made zero effort to be quiet about it. I started laughing which probably made it shrink like a frightened turtle, but it definitely made me glad I always pack my flip flops!
I had a shared bath in Venice once for 4 nights, never met anyone in the hall, only once had to wait for the shower. Only negative experience: one time I could tell that the person before me had smoked in the toilet.
They have private rooms, some en suite. They have a well-enforced 11 pm no-noise rule, and are in a good location. Very clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. They also have coin-op laundry. The first time I stayed there I used a shared bathroom and rarely had to wait. The multi-bed rooms 4 and up all seem to have attached baths. The second time, I splurged on a double room en suite in the annex and was very happy - great queen bed, very quiet. Never again!! We had returned from a day trip and I desperately needed to use the toilet and I mean desperate.
After 20 minutes pacing the floor, my daughter forecefully banged on the door and explained my situation. There was a young lady in the bathroom taking all the time in the world drying her hair etc. When using shared facilities, people should be mindfull and get in and out as quickly as possible. Shared bathrooms work best when the toilet is in a separate room, or there are several bathrooms to choose from.
I've never had a problem with access in the middle of the night, but during the daytime some people hog the room. The hostels I've stayed in usually had a women's bathroom that could be shared. That works, too. It's no big deal. As someone mentioned you usually have a sink in your room. You'll only have to use the bathroom to shower and use the toilet. I bought some "shower shoes" that I wear to get to and from the bathroom as well as use IN the shower.
Last May we stayed at Palazzo Masi in Siena wonderful! We 4 were the only ones there so didn't have any problems. Also Dei Mori put the 4 of us in rooms with bathrooms en suite when they had empty rooms at the lesser price which was wonderful so for the 4 nights we only had 1 night when the 4 of us were in 2 Doubles with separate baths!
Our shared bathroom in Amsterdam was not a good experience. Very nasty. Had no robe, etc. Never again. The bathroom situation was not explained when we booked. I research accommodations by emailing tourist offices for the area I'm going to, and they will send copious amounts of brochures with complete listings of all accommodations, from the cheapest to the ritziest.
I go for the super-cheap private rooms and I have never had a room without a bathroom, with toilet and a shower. If not, it's probably sort of sleazy and I wouldn't stay there. The beautiful old guest house I stayed at in Edinburgh had 3 double rooms with private baths and then 3 double rooms that shared a bathroom. The toilet, shower and sink were all in the bathroom together, nothing in our rooms. It was large, clean, and our hostess provided each guest with a robe to wear.
I prefer a private bath, but considering our room was only 64 GBP per night, I was willing to sacrifice the privacy. In my experience, most private bathrooms are outside guest rooms. You need to go into the corridor to get to them. Sometimes 'private bathroom' is used for a bathroom which is has a door inside your room, although that is more commonly known as an 'en suite'. Like in the old days It doesn't mean they're lower class, just that the structure of the house didn't allow room for ensuite bathrooms in each room.
