Somerset Bencoolen Singapore

Like i say, everything is perfect. Furniture is a bit outdated but I didnt come to singapore for the hotel tho. It is comfortable enough for me and my family, the 2BR aprtment has everything tht we need. Complete amenities, u even can cook with the utensils provided, it is clean and i just love everything abt this apartment. Mrt is just across the road, and plenty of eateries nearby. Definitely will come back again.

i stayed for 4 nights at somerset and it have been wonderfull. i stayed in 1 bedrom deluxe with 3 young children (6,3,1 yo). with the king bed (180x200), living room with a sofa, fully equipped kitchen (electric stove, microwave, toaster, electric pot, plate, bowl, spoon, etc), they even provide you with dishwasher liquid and sponge. location just right in front of MRT bencoolen exit A, halal food just below the hotel. there is "putri" restoran that sell "padang" food and also accross the street we can find halal resto "sumber ayam" at the food republic food court. 7-11 also accross the street. Bugis jus 15min (30min small walk with children). taxi available in front of the hotel. we check out at 06.00 in the morning and there is a taxi in front of the taxi shelter in front of the hotel. overall its a very convenient stay and we will be back again if we ever go to singapore.

We love love the location of the apartments! Food was just walking distance and the subway was just 1 min walk away. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Thank you for a wonderful 2 nights stay. * Just a note maybe the T.V. can be updated to digital so we can access more fun stuff like Netflix and YouTube.* Other than that all was great!!!!

Great apartment. Clean n simple. Nice space for small family and couple

The facilities in the room with bathtub and kitchen, are ideal for family. Breakfast could’ve been more variative. Location is between 3 MRT lines: Bras Basah, Bencoolen and Dhoby Ghaut. A really nice alternative near Orchard road.

Arrived early morning but reception was excellent and let us in our room straight away. Quite central but rooms were bit tired looking - very clean though.

The staff service is not too friendly, and also the room is so small and not comfy, the swimming pool and whirlpool is great, the building is old need renovation

NP

Pro's - clean pool, 2 bedroom apartment, very clean Con's - beds were very firm, breakfast was squishy and little variety.

This was a excellent choice and I would definitely comeback again. The Hotel location was great with 2 MRT station within 100 meters and a food court 50 meters away. There are several small restaurant along the street. The hotel room is big and comfortable enough for a small family. The deco is dated but nice enough. There is a laundry room. The roof top swimming pool was nice. The rooms are clean daily and staff was nice. You should try it. I will be coming back again when I am here.

Very near to MRT. However, the frontage is quite hidden from main road so we struggled to find it at first although we were standing right in front & holding a map. There’s an “old smell” when we entered the apartment but the space is good enough for my family of 5. Kitchen utensils very complete. Breakfast was a disappointment, it’s located at a very cramped space, kind of like a makeshift place using another apartment. Food choice is nothing much to shout about too.

Nice ambience.. rooms well maintained. Kudos to the staff n management.

Well, when booked this hotel I actually didn't realize there are two Bencoolens there: the hotel and a "serviced apartments" which I luckily booked. We got a 2-bedroom (plus living room) apartment, with complete kitchen and two bathrooms. The apt is little bit shubbed and some ceiling paint would help, but all the rest is very good: spacious, clean, comfortable. The kind-of-buffet breakfast is very basic, but if you are not too spoiled you will not leave hungry. The real advantages are: very good location (the taxi stand in front of the hotel, MRT station is less than 1 min walking, main attractions are in 10-15 min waling distance), the pool (including jaccuzi and toddler's pool) and kids playground on a top of the 12th floor, nice patio on the 5th floor. My conclusion : very good accommodation for budget famiky travelers!

The apartment is located in the heart of town. We love the fact the public transport are easily accessible here. The apartment looks rather old but it gives us the feeling of home. We will come again to stay here when we back in Singapore.

they have taxy stand right in front of the hotel, and near to food republic

Location was central to heritage attractions such as Fort Canning, Haw Par Villa, museums, Chinatown, Little India and Little Arabia as well as Orchard Road shopping precinct. Marina Bay easily accessible on MRT system. Alternative travel options very reasonably priced due to location. Great variety of local food at very reasonable prices just across the road and nearby. Inhouse breakfast included in room rate but not very good - poor selection and hot food often cold; this was the only letdown. Otherwise, happy to recommend this property for value and location.

Decent apartment, with minimal breakfast option. But overall is satisfactory

Location was great, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Taxi rank right in front with MRT stations close by. Great for families.

Spacious rooms, good location, opposite to Bencoolen MRT and 2 mins walk to Food republic food court. Value for money! Will stay next time! Thumbs up!

We enjoyed our time at Somerset Bencoolen. The staff were extremely helpful and nice, and we loved how close the hotel was to the MRT station. However the room was fairly dated, the ceiling of the bathroom was damaged and had multiple layers of spackle. The breakfast was sufficient, but it wasn’t spectacular. Overall the hotel served the purpose for our family.
