That's not fun. I've seen my dad stripping the wallpaper in both our bathrooms by hand. And just when he thought he had it done, he discovered that when the wallpaper was put up decades ago, it was put up over the original wallpaper. He ended up stripping off at least two different layers.

He wasn't going to sand the wall before painting it but now has to because the original layer of wallpaper didn't come off very easily and he ended up taking off lumps of the underlying drywall as well in a few places.
