My girlfriend and I are traveling to New York City in may and are a looking for a deal in Manhattan. There seems to be a handful of decent rooms available that are under $200, but many of them have shared bathrooms. Having never stayed at such a hotel I am obviously a little apprehensive about this, so if you've stayed at a shared bathroom hotel what are they like in general?

Like you see on tv. There are generally five rooms that share a bathroom. So, think of living with ten people (two to a room) and sharing a bathroom. Sometimes, though, they have stalls instead of just a single. So, be sure to call and ask questions.

it's basically 2 rooms connected by a bathroom. the bathroom will have 2 doors, one leading to one room and one leading to the other and usually it's the only bathroom available for both rooms to use which is why you have to share. its also probably why the price is so cheap for a city like new york. they do the same thing in dorm rooms if students dont wan to use public restrooms. so hopefully the bathroom is big and clean with sound proof and locked doors, and that you will like your neighbors enough to share such a space 24/7.

Once you are in this bathroom it is totally private. You don't have other people coming in whilst you are in there. It simply means the bathroom is shared by several guests. It is fine and you have nothing to worry about other people seeing you. New York is a beautiful city and you will love it. I lived there for several years and enjoyed every minute. It is a very safe city and most of the people are so friendly. Have a great time you will never forget it.

I've stayed in hotels in Europe where there's a shared bathroom down the hall -- often in very pleasant hotels. There's also a small, quite nice European-type hotel in San Francisco that I tend to stay at, that has this arrangement. No problem, it's just that the bathrooms are down the hall, like in a college dorm.

Some are worse than others, once you have narrowed down your selections to 3 or 4, ask again.
Are you coming to see New York ? or the Hotel Bathrooms ?

One of them, The Murray Hill Inn, is next door to me. All the things, other people have siad would apply, the hotel is in a good neighborhood, conveniently located, clean -- but don't expect a big room or a view of anything expect the building next door.

Remeber its NYC and Europe, and most of the time they arent that good...Some arent horrid, but I dont like them, especially a pain if you've got plans and 10 otheres are in line ahead of you. Even worse when a toilet gets broken. Nasty.
