Betelbox is the best hostel of Singapore. The dorms are basic, with old style bunk beds. Showers and toilets are clean and modern. The management is great and very helpful. There is a living room where you can meet other travellers or just read or work quietly in a corner. The hostel is situated in Katong, one of the nicest neighborhoods of the city, away from the tourists crowds. Joo Chat Road, the main street, has been developed nto a place with beautifully restored shop houses, good restaurants, coffee places and eateries. East Coast park is nearby, and can be reached by a nice walk through 5-foot walkways. I warmly recommend this great and unique travellers accomodation.
If you prefer luxury or sleep cabins, don't go here. If you prefer to meet travellers with interesting stories on Singapore and far away traveller's destinations, then this is the place to be. If you want a really dedicated staff that provides you with all kinds of tips where to go in Singapore, then choose this hostel.

Nice place, not far from downtown. You can take bus #33 (single fare 2$) or MRT to get everywhere. I used 3-day tourist pass, so no problem. Many local restaurants in area (not overpriced like in DT). Stuff was super friendly and very helpfull. I got best tips, how to get to Malaysia or what to do in SG. Common area is available to late night without problems. Typical hostel rooms, not the capsule system, so You can meet and talk to other guests.

You won't find anything better for that price at Singapur.
Everything is super basic, but I guess you expect that at this price. There was a figh in my room in the middle of the night, one guy was really drunk. Somebody from reception come and it was "solved", still the guy should've been kicked out immediately instead we have to sleep in the same room as him.

I loved the staff a lot. They were all extremely friendly. Almost like father figures. The lobby is amazing. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are very clean and good. I love how they have bike renting. They also have good breakfast in the morning. Overall great experience.
The bathrooms lacked shampoo and conditioner dispensers. I think 10am might be a too early checkout time but they did not hassle me. So it wasn't even a big deal.

Very simple and nice and the staff were nice and helpful, also clean. Good value for money (singapore) John and uncle Tong were super nice people
There was an english guy working there that went up to the dorms at 2am and was talking to one of the girls at and sat there on the bed to chat which was very annoying and made me and the girl uncomfortable

Adequate breakfast. You'd be hard pressed to find a better location
There was a small amount of dirt on the bed mattress, but could have been from the room mates after it was cleaned.

The best Staff ever! The team is so friendly and helpful. They give you very good advices to visit the City. We booked for one night and we finally stayed one week...My boyfriend was sick during the week, and the Owner drove us to the Clinic, then he helped us a lot with everything we are very grateful, he did more than it's job. As regards the accommodation the dormitory is clean, warm shower everyday, free breakfast with bread, jam, peanuts butter, chocolate paste, ect... Good location in a beautiful street close to metro and bus station. I recommand without any doubts! Thank you again to the Staff!

The staff was very helpful and had a lots of good information for us. There was a very friendly atmosphere among them, what helped also the guests to relax. In addition to that, they had a good locker system, with private lockers outside the room and a video observation of these lockers.
It is not central to the city, but the quarter itself is really nice. So either you stroll aong there or you need the public transport to go somewhere else, what is very easy. It is perfect close to the airport.

Very social, amazing staff, beds were comfy and everything was cleaned regularly. Overall great place, would definitely stay again
Guest to bathroom ratio wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad. It's slightly out of the way from some of the main sites, but transit is nearby and it's easy to get everywhere. It's also close to the airport and many affordable places to eat (personally loved the location, up to your preference). Wifi doesn't work in the upstairs rooms but it does encourage everyone to hangout and chat in the lounge.

The thing I like the most was the staff and the location. The location with the storycal buildings nearby, the beach, a budishm temple. More important for me, the hostel it's on the way to the center and around 1 hour with bus from the airport (bus number 24_you can pay with contactless card_it will cost you 5 Singapore Dollars). Near the hostel with the train and bus you can go to Marina Bay, ChinaTown and so on. There is a simple breakfast but a good and practical beginning for the day! If I would go to Singapore (I hope I will), I will stay here. Thank you so much!
