Hostel Betel Box Backpackers Hostel
200 Joo Chiat Road, Katong, 427471 Singapore, Singapore – Great location - show map
The on duty managers were so helpful. The toilet/bathroom was clean Rooms comfortable

staff were very nice and helpful! Just for that it is worth the stay.

All in one arrangement was cool. Like to here again if visit Singapore

Hostel receptionist is friendly and they warmly welcome to the guests. This place is safe for all. It is cheap. I recommend you that you should stay there.

The hostel is in a active area. There is a lot of foot traffic near the hostel . If you rent a car (which I determined was not necessary in Singapore), there is a parking lot close to this hostel. There is virtually no free parking in Singapore. There is also bus service nearby and the metro train is about a 10 walk from the hostel. The staff at this hostel is very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed my stay here. This hotel isn't in the downtown part of Singapore, its in a low key neighborhood.

Staff was so friendly, helpful & easy going. Free breakfast included both fruit & peanutbutter beside the regular jam & toast. Possible to keep things in the fridge, free shelf to leave food you don't want any more, bookswap, pooltable, social area, linen & blanket included. For my standrards this was a perfect hostel.

I liked the staff. I liked their willingness to help and they didn't nickel and dime you to death (Oh! You want tires on those rims!)

cafeteria area along with ur staying room was best part as there r many books and journals about the city street attractions and transportation with wifi. Breakfast menu was healthy one with options.

Breakfast was good toast bread with a lot of choices of spread plus coffee

The hotel has a book storage and have nice spot close the windows
