Betel Box Asia Pte. Ltd.

Tony is a legend, the best receptionist (is also the owner) i found so far, and I went in many hostels believe me. He love his job and he does his best to help you. Clean rooms, I felt safe, good open space, there is everything you need. Good quality price.

Tony will go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. They send you a brochure with lots of information about what to do in Singapore and how to move around. We stayed in the 5 bed female dorm which was very spacious and lovely. The shared bathrooms were clean and equipped with the basics. Also, the commo area was huge and they even sell drinks. Last but not least, breakfast was basic but very handy in such an expensive country. Everything was pretty good. Some toilets on the third floor were tiny and I kept getting wet with the shower by mistake but it wasn't a big deal. Also, bear in mind that prices are usually high everywhere and although it was one of the cheapest options, still far more expensive than any other country in the area.

Had a really nice stay at Betel Box. Everything was clean, you have breakfast included (toast and spreads), the owner, Tony gives you maaaany tips for the city and is super friendly. The location is good but not super close to most of the things to see. Would totally recommend the hostel.

Great time, friendly staff, good level of amenities + cleanliness for the cost. Common area is perfect if you want to chat, also air conditioning at night was amazing. Very welcoming atmosphere, felt very safe and staff were very attentive to my friends and I. One very minor complaint- check in could be faster, but even then, didn’t take too long and we happened to come at a busy time. Awesome hostel, highly recommend.

Pros • Affordable – One of the cheapest options in Singapore. • Free breakfast – Basic (just bread and tea/coffee), but a nice perk. • Facilities – Has a fridge for guests to use. • Convenient location – Close to a FairPrice grocery store, a hawker center, laundry services, and a night market. Cons • WiFi issues – You have to reconnect every day, and the process is very tedious. If you have multiple devices, you’ll need to do it for each one. • No extra amenities – No towels provided, and you have to make your own bed. • Lack of social atmosphere – Not many events or opportunities to meet people. • Cramped facilities – The bathrooms are tiny, with the shower and toilet in the same stall, so the floor is always wet. • Poor bathroom conditions – No toiletries provided; the soap dispenser was filled with water, and there were no paper towels. • Inconvenient location – About 45 minutes from most major attractions by public transportation. • Noisy at night – Quiet hours are not enforced. In my experience, a guest in the women’s dorm ate strong-smelling food and talked loudly on the phone in the bathroom, and the staff didn’t intervene.

Pros - cheapest option - super friendly staff with local knowledge - nice location - steamy hot showers with solid pressure - free breakfast - free book exchange - bike/scouter hire Cons - less sociable than other hostels I’ve been to; however this, from what I’ve heard, is very typical of backpacking through Singapore. - the rooms feel small and overcrowded; however I could have opted for a smaller dorm for a marginally higher price.

Its a good hostel for that price. I stayed several nights in the same room, which was cleaned every day. There are lockers which are a little too small for a big travelling backpack, but you can def. store your most important things in there In general it was a very clean hostel. The location is ok. 15min walk to a MRT (subway) and several bus stops are close by. Would go there again.

Travelled one night and arranged to extend an extra night with the nice older gentleman. He was super helpful ! Map and poi were so well explained. The extension was made for two Myself and my partner we had been separated at lhr due to an overbooked flight. The next day a younger man I think the owner was pretty shirty saying I hadn't extended. I bought my partner and complained I had given them the door code. None of this was the case they walked upstairs with me. I think great hostel I understand concerns by communicating was key. I wouldn't usually be bothered but the owner left me for 30minhtes the day before for a shift change. So really all could of been avoided. We then left and moved elsewhere as it just felt uncomfortable. All around ok but I felt I was doing something wrong which just wasn't the case.
