Those are two rooms. The bathrooms are communal. The article says it's targeted at young travelers who live a "digital lifestyle," which is nonsense. Unless they are converted to 1s and 0s at the end of the night, put on a flash drive and tossed in the chamber. What they mean are "young people on a budget kicking around Europe," and in that case it's much, much better than a hostel. At least in my experience. In Rome we stayed in a barracks built for the 1940 Olympics - they didn't happen, due to the unpleasantness. It was a fascinating and slightly horrifying place, what with all the fascist architecture; big blank mean statues of idealized lunks with gas masks around their necks. But the rooms were damp and clammy and everyone snored.

It's from this recollection of the 1987 airing of the Charlie Brown Christmas Special.
