How can I know in advance if a private bathroom is not en suite?

Accepted answer

This is very rare, probably too rare for the major booking systems to handle. I've only come across it in old buildings that have been converted to hotels, especially before en suite rooms were the norm, with the en suite added later. It's because there are only so many changes that can be made to the building structure.

Even within that particular hotel there may be a mixture of rooms where they could add an en suite and rooms where they had to do things differently, so it's only after a human reviews the booking and the actual rooms available that they can let you know.

Overall, you probably can't know, except from reviews (and those that go into enough detail may be from other rooms where the bathroom is en suite). Purpose built modern hotels shouldn't have this issue, but if you want to stay somewhere more interesting that doesn't help much.
