What we say: 4 stars

Betel Box Hostel gets top marks for its friendly, helpful staff, who never seem to tire of giving new arrivals a full tour of the facilities and explaining how the hostel works. Owner Tony knows what backpackers are after and delivers the works, from clean mixed and female dorms and one family room, through to loads of information on what to do in the interesting heritage area. He runs several tours himself, including a food and culture evening which we tried and loved. The common area boasts free WiFi, a few computers, a pool table, library, TV, games and snacks and drinks, including beer, for sale. The new on-site restaurant was poised to open on our last visit, and we see that The Living Bistro is now welcoming patrons — we suspect it will be well worth stopping by here for a few meals. Breakfast used to be just breads, spreads and fruit but the new restaurant offers a range of set breakfasts.
