At least in England and France, a hall of residence is somewhere
between a flat and a hotel room. Private rooms, shared kitchens and
facilities. Like a very large-scale house let by the room. See
http://www.ueaaccommodation.com/media/images/gallery/standard/norfolksuffolk/norfolksuffolk.html
"Rooms in the architecturally unique ziggurats of Norfolk and Suffolk
are arranged in flats of up to 12 rooms, each with own washbasin, and
each flat has a large kitchen/diner overlooking the broad."

So, either "synonymous with dormitory" is a bad assumption or the
"hall of residence" description's a bit misleading IMO.
Hope that helps,
