That isn't a problem at all as long as the hotel includes the typical shower
arragement we had in other places, e.g. those showers-cabin we had in
Columbia (dc10). For what I have seen in photos of this hostel, they have this
kind of showers in segregated bathrooms.

I guess this wasn't very clear in my first email, but I'm also considering
the hostel as the venue for talks, hacklabs etc in the spirit of having
everything in the same place. A similar arragament to the one we had in dc9.
If you look at the website, they have multiple common rooms, some games room
and the alike. look in the " Infrastructure" part in the right:
http://www.youthhostel.ch/en/hostels/st-moritz
if we are the only people staying in the hostel of the 80% of the people
staying, likely we can arrange to have the rooms for our exclusive usage.
The hostel also offers free wifi. I don't know if it will be up to our needs,
but there is at least something included.
For info: I can't access to the PDF ATM, no key here.
