Dear all,

what is the definition of a "common room", does it mean living room?

Thx

Usually means bedroom without attached bathroom. Bathroom will be off common living area and may be shared. "master-room" usually means bedroom with en-suite bathroom and will be more expensive.

I thought common room referred to the "Hall" or "Living Room" as it's commonly referred to in the US. Generally if you were to rent a non-master bedroom (with in-suite bathroom) then you would generally have usage of the 'common room' along with the common bathroom.

that's the common understanding for "common room" except here in Singapore, hehe...

it means a non-master bedroom as sms said or a room without a bathroom attached or inside as skye said...

or it could mean a room for common usage as is the case in my condo. Where there a 12m by 12m room near the guard house called the common room. It may be used by residents for kids parties or yoga classes etc
