What guests are saying:
good place and facilities and friendly staff
The concierge Muhamed is a top guy including the rest of the front desk staff. Love the pool, great for a quick refreshing dip. MRT at your doorstep what do you want ?
Hotel Bagus, fasilitas cukup lengkap, Lokasi sangat bagus, mrt sangat dekat
All of the staff are nice and jolly. The hotel are near the tourist spots in Singapore. The foods near the hotel are sooo worth it the money. The facilities are open 24/7 except for the gym.
Only thing i think should improve is that the room got a weird smell
very good location. mrt and bus stations are very near. bugis is also walking distance. staff were nice and accommodating.
This is my 2nd time staying in this hotel. I love the location of this hotel. Especially since there is a new MRT station just in front of the hotel.
Easy to go every where..

Coffee shop is also near the area. There's even a clinic nearby.
Very near to taxi and bus waiting areas and MRT station.
Bugis Street market is approx 10 minutes by foot.
Staff are helpful and quick to respond.

Good Stay”
Base on reviews, I wasn’t expecting much but we actually had a good stay in Hotel Bencoolen. It was not a fancy hotel but a comfortable place to stay. Staff were nice. Our room was cleaned everyday. They provide toiletries and bottled water. They change the towels daily. Fast check-in and check-out. Good location near Bencoolen MRT, Food Republic and walking distance to Bugis Junction. We would definitely stay here again.

Great value for money and good location!”
We stayed in a deluxe room with 2 twin beds without breakfast. Our stay was great, the value for money was good. It was near the MRT station. A lot of food stuff near in Bugis. Easy to roam around the city because of the proximity of the MRT station.
The room is just small but already enough for two, the toilet and water was also good.
There was just one staff at the reception who was not that accommodating but other than that most of them where polite and friendly especially Pachi (the hotel bellboy).
If you are just looking for a place to sleep at night, and you would want to spend most of the time in the city then this is a good place to stay, especially in terms of value for money.

Great with minor concerns”
Great location, across and beside are the MRT access. 2 more stations about 10 min away. Bugis 10min away, lots of food court n fine dining around, museums 5 min away. Masjid beside, Catholic, Methodist and other churches 5min away. Good room space. Room facilities (aircn, tv,safe,closet, ref, kettle, hot shower n tub, 2! roomkeys) very nice. Jacuzzi/small pool, open air gym.
Little concerns, tub plug didn't work, only 10 tv channels, nicer if there was ironing, ice bucket, vacuum when fixing room. Will always consider this hotel.

It was my first time to stay here and I must say that the location is very convenient. The staff are so accommodating and friendly. Our only issue was the air conditioning unit in our room since the room temperature tends to get warm despite having set the temperature to the lowest. Apart from that, all is good. I would love to stay here again.

Family-friendly Hotel”
Our family loved Hotel Bencoolen. The location is right across the MRT station and bus station. Food Republic and convenience stores are also nearby. All the staff are friendly and accommodating especially the bellboys and the receptionists. We were also able to check-in early as soon as we arrived. Rooms were great and they did take note of our request for a connecting room which was very convenient for our family.
It could have been a perfect stay if it weren't for the internet connection speed of the hotel's free wifi. All throughout our stay, it was below 1.0 mbps which is really disappointing and awful. We can't even browse or stream properly with the extremely poor connection speed - considering that we always thought Singapore internet connection was always fast. This was kind of a deal breaker for us, but other than that, everything else was great and we will definitely recommend and stay again at Hotel Bencoolen.

Cons: Outdated room; dirty in parts, eg. stains on sheets, mouldy bathroom tiles; minimal toiletries (so BYO); my room was noisy (I could hear a lot of toilets flushing in the surrounding rooms, including from the level above). Overall, OK for one night's stay.

Hotel Bencoolen is very easy to locate. The location is very strategic as it is a minute away from mrt and bus stop. We were in a group of 3, and the room is just spacious for the 3 of us. The room is being cleaned everyday. However, my only issue is that their aircon is not cooling in the morning. But overall, out stay is good. Would consider the hotel in my next visit
