Most of the rooms have private baths or showers. The hotels will either be those shown in the itinerary or of the same category. Due to trade fairs and conventions in the cities, the hotels may be blocked out for more than 2 years in advance. Given this you may have to stay in hotels further away from the cities and itineraries may have to be altered/amended.
