We stayed here for four days during our six week long Asiatrip. The staff were very rude and not helpfull at all. The breakfast was not much to talk about, and the free wifi was only available for one device which was not satisfying to two girls with two iphones and two laptops. The only positive thing about this hotel... More

Here are the things i like about Hotel Bencoolen (stayed for 4 nights): 1.) They let us check in early 10:30am, our room is ready though regular check in is 2pm 2.) Free 24 hrs wifi for 4 days (though need to renew password everyday at the front desk) 3.) Very considerate Manager Ms. Kay, our son is free of... More

I was part of a student group staying in Singapore for 5 weeks and we were put up in the Bencoolen. We lasted an entire 6 days (it would have been less, but were unable to find enough accomadation until then). The hotel was completely terrible. The room was similar size to a linen closet. It was filthy-gnats in my... More

Unfortunately Singapore was full with a trade show, the hotel was OK, rooms smaller than a shoe box. The amazing thing was that they served their breakfast buffet in the middle of a walkway with MRT construction going on behind. I thought there were food service standards in Singapore but i guess i was wrong. definitely would not stay there... More

For the price you pay for this hotel, you shouldn't complain much at all. It seems like a refurbished 2/3 star hotel. I would stay here again because 1) Location is good - MRT station is a 7 minute walk 2) Food Court across road is 24/7 as well as the 7-11 convenience store 3) Price is reasonable by Singapore...

A great choice for a short stay in Singapore. The hotel is small but it is a great central location and just 10 minutes walk to Orchard Road. Our room was quite small but for one night it was fine. Breakfast was OK but nothing exciting! Would certainly stay here again for a one or maybe two night stay. The... More

Singapore is an expensive place to visit and you want to position your stay near the attractions so this small hotel is great value. Small (not tiny) comfortable, spotless rooms. Fantastic position, 10 min walk to Orchard Rd and MRT. At $S150 including breakfast a couple its perhaps half what you'll pay in a bigger hotel. As independent, mature, travelers... More

The hotel itself was not that great. The reception area is small, but the rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was nothing much, it was the same everyday. And the staff at the restaurant were unfriendly. However, it was a safe, we had a late evening flight, so we checked out and left our bags, so we had no... More
