Description

The Betel Box hostel Singapore is housed in a large traditional Singaporean shophouse, which is actually two shophouses combined into one large shophouse. Originally built in the 1920s, this building has been fully restored and rebuilt to exacting conservations standards in 2000. The focal point of the hostel is the communal area which takes up 50% of our overall floor space! This communal area is actually divided into "zones" which means that you can choose to be social or get some privacy. Our spaces are large, we have still managed to create a homely and cosy atmosphere.

Our package includes bed and breakfast, fast and free internet connections and lockers. Your hosts are passionate about Singapore, travel, nature, adventure and heritage. We conduct activities and guided walks that provide you with an alternative insight into Singapore life.

The Facilities:

* Communal Area - Our largest room in the hostel is for communal use. This area has a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, lounge area where you can relax and watch the street life down below, and Internet terminals.

The furnishings in this area are in Modern Asian style; reflective of our tastes and the heritage of the shophouse building.

In case you feel like relaxing at the hostel, rather than going out to explore Singapore, we have a large collection of games, and a well-stocked library with both travel and non-travel related books and magazines for you to enjoy.

* Rooms - You have a selection of rooms when you bunk at Betel Box Hostel. Options are standard mixed dorm, girls dorm and a double room with queen sized bed. All of our rooms have with comfortable beds and shared hot and cold showers. All rooms are fully air-conditioned.

* Safety & Security - Even though Singapore has to be one of the safest cities in the world, we have installed security measures to keep you and your property safe. You will also be assigned a safety locker for the duration of your stay with us. We have a CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) security installed that monitors access to all parts of the hostel and lockers. We also have locked storage rooms to store your backpacking gear and equipment when you are out exploring Singapore.

All rooms (communal and dorm rooms) have fire hoses, fire extinguishers and fire alarms, which are connected to the Central Fire Station.
