    I had a great stay at this hotel in an interesting area with plenty of cheap eats. The location is close to some noisy pubs & restaurants, which adds to the vibrant atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that I had everything I needed during my stay. The basic amenities were all there, and the rooms were comfortable, especially my bunk bed with a TV for movies. The breakfast included a range of options, including fruit, which was a nice touch.

    All was fine, no complaints.

    1. Friendly staff 2. Good breakfast

    I hate Betel Box only because of the people who are always making noise even at mid night. I think, it is better, at least for Betel Box to attract more customers in the future, to ask your staff to visit the rooms regularly to make sure the rooms are quiet at nights.

    1) Excellent first timer orientation. 2) Excellent computer or reading tables and benches. 3) Excellent arrangement of double-decker beds. 4) Simple, at ease, and freedom of going in and out at the main door or via the hostel's restaurant on the ground floor. 5) Good sleep. :_)

    We loved the convenient location near the lively Malay community and the beach. It was easy to get on the MRT or to the airport. The hotel facilities were great with power strips and plug converters available for rent. The breakfast was simple but appreciated and the staff was helpful, offering tourism information and recommendations for places to eat.

    Nothing it was perfect.

    This hotel offers great value for money with its affordable rates and included breakfast. The location, in a cultural district with a wide variety of food choices, makes it even more appealing. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a comfortable stay. The rooms are equipped with double beds, a TV, and are conveniently located on the same level as the bathroom - perfect for a cozy night of Netflix & chill. The breakfast options are varied, with the inclusion of fruits and peanut butter alongside the regular jam and toast. It's a healthy start to the day!

    All aspects of my stay were great, no improvements needed.

    The common area was great with a good atmosphere for meeting other travelers. Complimentary breakfast and respectful guests made it feel like a home away from home. the location was perfect - easy to access public transportation and nearby attractions. Plus, they offer a hair dryer for longer hair!

    Some services, like the pool table, computer, and DVDs, have an additional cost which is normally included in most hostels. the wifi is only available in the common area, which can be inconvenient for those who need to work or plan their trip.

    The staff were friendly and polite, and very helpful when I needed assistance. The hostel was clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and good facilities such as hot showers and a communal living area with a TV. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation and local restaurants.

    The hostel was located in a noisy area that made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. the lack of soundproofing in the rooms meant that I could hear everything happening in the hallway and neighboring rooms, which was disruptive.

    This hotel offers great value for money, with affordable prices that won't break the bank. The attention to detail is impressive, with clean and tidy rooms that have comfortable double beds and single bunk beds with thick mattresses. The basic amenities provided are more than enough, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The location in a cultural district is perfect, with plenty of cheap eats and a wide variety of food choices in the interesting surrounding area. The breakfast is a pleasant surprise, offering a healthy selection that includes not only the regular jam and toast but also fresh fruits and peanut butter.

    All was fine, nothing to complain about.
