not to bump into each other every time
На мой непросвещенный взгляд, в случае "пары", поселяющейся в стандартный гостиничный номер площадью 14 м² (надо полагать, что по своему желанию, разумеется), речь о возможности "have any privacy" не идет, а имеется в виду, что эти два человека будут постоянно "сталкиваться" (физически).

to move around freely
Я бы предложила перевод несколько описательный, передающий идею "having enough space" или "moving around freely", как вариант:
In a 14 m² standard double room, it will be somewhat difficult for a couple to move around freely and find space for their suitcases.

to have any privacy
In this context, somewhat analogous to cars not having enough room to pass each other on a road, for which the same Russian verb can be used.

The latter - individual personal space within in the room.

| Thanks Rachel! Do you mean that the couple won't have private space away from other people at the hotel or that the 2 of them won't have any individual personal space from each other? |

Thanks, Angela! Same to you, and greetings from soggy WV, which may not be soggier than MD.

: I like the outside-the-box thinking behind your suggested translation, but, as your accurate explanation makes obvious, не разойтись literally describes a situation much more dire than "not having privacy".

Thanks. But what you say is true. Back-up idea would be "not to be tripping over each other".
