We stayed in the Betel Box twice for 4 nights in total and enjoyed the stay. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms have air condition which is definitely needed in Singapore. The atmosphere felt a bit like in a family. It was 20 min walk to the East Coast Park which has a nice beach and the... more

Although we initially passed the small entrance to the hostel and then went up the narrow steps. What greeted us at the top was something else. Super friendly service (directions, maps, things to do), pleasant walk to the MRT (10 mins), great breakfast. Rooms were all you needed (18 in our room) with bunks. Only two showers but it didn't... more

This was a surprisingly nice hostel with a good, free breakfast and a nice central location. Staff was helpful with directions around town and suggestions of activities. Bathrooms clean, but shower was low flow and shared with entire floor. Street was lively at night but the rooms were well insulated from the noise. We enjoyed hanging out in the common... more

I booked this place online through one of the online hostel booking websites as I wanted somewhere to stay while I was in Singapore. This place came out looking decent enough so I put in a booking. Due to its location east of the city centre it is close to the airport and the closest MRT station is Paya Lebar.... more

Excellent hostel with friendly, honest staff who created a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. We stayed in the Family room which was fine although hairs on pillows on one of the beds did not create a great first impression! Had to queue for shared bathroom sometimes and it did get grubby due to the amount of people using it but was cleaned... more

We were taken by the nice reception/lounge area and thought "what a cool place!" However soon enough our... more

Singapore Betel Box Hostel , beware of all that glitters is not gold. Recently stayed there in a private room $50SD a night , we paid for dirty carpets , gecko poo and dust. Honestly it was quite filthy. communal Kitchen was dirty with a dish rag that had green mold growing in it and a washing up brush that... more

This was the first ever hostel that I stayed in. As a first timer, it took a little adjusting to to be sharing a room with 14 other strangers. But in all fairness, there isn't really much I can complain about the accommodations. The hostel is clean and you've got pretty much everything you need if you're looking to stay... more
