In USA they call apartment like this "single rooms occupancy" where kitchens and maybe even bathrooms are shared. Very cheap apartments, usually for students or disabled people.
Apartment buildings in USA are more likely to have shared laundry rooms than shared kitchens or bathrooms.
When I was living in an SRO, my little in-room kitchen was a microwave, minifridge, electric kettle, slow cooker, and rice cooker. Not ideal but I could still eat fine. If I needed to use the stove or oven there was always the shared kitchen as a fallback. I used the slow cooker to make most of my cooked meals. Had to fill up water bottles down the hall every few days and keep my mini fridge loaded up with them.
