I'd be down for capsule hotels if there was a locked door/screen with some real heft, but apparently they're basically just curtains?



Curtain is still a step up from a bed in shared room at a hostel. Personally I’ve never felt unsafe in a hostel, a little exposed at times, and annoyed when people turn up drunk and make noise getting into bed, but not unsafe.


I was at a hotel in the UK in a big shared bunk room and some French dudes got into a drunken fist fight in the room at 3am and after it was settled proceeded to snore the loudest I've ever heard anyone snore. Most people left at 5am. Do not recommend that experience.


I realize it's extremely unlikely that anything actually bad will happen, it's just a psychological thing for me.


It depends on the place. Most of them just have curtains, but some have plastic doors that your can close and lock.
