A hostel is still a hostel. What's the main difference between a hostel and a capsule hotel? The separation between your luggage and the bedroom.
I painstakingly experienced the difference here at Montan. I really wanted to leave a nice review especially since the staff were nice and friendly. But all the kindness could not mask this hostels true mechanism.
Mixed Dormitory/Bedroom - First off, if your a light sleeper, tough luck. It's a bunk bed type style: one bed on top, another on the bottom. Once you climb in, there is a black out curtain you can close. However the top and sides seep in a good amount of light, hence the worthlessness of the black out curtain. Nicely painted walls and wooden bed material - thin as paper plus it seeps in light from the top bunk. Insomnia. I heard the top person snoring as if he was righ next to me. AND I was wearing earplugs. Sad.
The tiny locker is next to the beds. You can barely put a small backpack in there. People rummaging late/early- more noise.
Stingy and dumb points
-Tiny locker
-Locker in same room as beds
-Want a towel? Pay up. Want a tooth brush? Pay up.
- Tiny Showers (Shower room is excessively small yet the changing space is unnecessary large = Fail)
- Toilet room - Small = Fail (best to use the lobby toilet, much more space to avoid head banging)
By all means, I highly recommend staying elsewhere even if it cost a bit more.
