Is a hostel a shared room?

Unlike hotels, many hostels have curfews; if you arrive after curfew, you will be locked out for the night. This is done as a common courtesy to other guests and to the staff. Hostels keep prices low by using a shared room instead of individual, private ones, and only providing the most basic amenities.
