About Us

Betel Nut: an addictive spice central to Asian hospitality, it is used in traditional ceremonies as well as a social bonding aid by almost all Asian cultures represented in Singapore – Chinese, Malay, Indian, Peranakan and Eurasian. A Betel Box is a container for Betel Nuts and the assorted tools and ingredients related to its consumption.

Located on Joo Chiat Road, "Betel Box" is the fruition of our experiences of hostelling, backpacking, and budget travelling around the globe and meeting like-minded travellers. It embodies what we want in a backpackers’ hostel: friendly, respectful, addictive, aesthetically pleasing, functional and representative of all cultures in Singapore.

"Live Like A Local" at Betel Box Hostel along with its creature comforts, easy reach to all parts of Singapore and in a culturally rich part of town!

Who says budget accommodation in Singapore means budget service? And oh, you get to enjoy our Stimulating Company!
