Hotel Bencoolen Singapore

( 2 stars , Singapore , Singapore )

A well situated hotel for sightseeing etc.

Though prices vary depending on season and fairs in the city! Decent hotel for business travellers. All I can say NOTHING WRONG

Quite small room. Outstanding loation. Breakfast on the street (simple, but not bad). Good value for money.

For a quick business visit or a 'budget holiday, this hotel is a great place to stay. Shopping literally round the corner. The staff is excellent in how they try to please. Rooms comfortable, clean but smallish, but you are out through the day. The pool, tho' small is a super place to cool off. Now, if you want a 'western breakfast,' ask for it the early the DAY BEFORE, and they should cook you a good one. I trained them on how to cook eggs, western style!! Seriously! The normal cuisine is cooked for Muslim customers not westerners! They use chicken round slices, NOT BACON. Ask either Agost or Iyub for eggs Bruce's style & BACON and see the response!! Really! Free parking in a sheltered park at the hotel. Great value for money would stay again myself no problems.

Great location and friendly, accommodating service. Tiny but functional room. Breakfast options/quality needs improvement. Overall, very good value considering Singapore standards.

No frills but exactly what you want. Air conditioned, very comfortable and clean. We had a late departure from Singapore and the hotel was very accomodating in looking after our luggage and then providing us shower facilities and towels before we went to the airport.

Good location, within walking distance from the MRT. Clean rooms, good bed, but very small. You have to open your suitcase on the bed. The breakfast is served on the street. No restaurant. For smokers: all the hotel, including the guest rooms are non smoking.

Price keeps going up for the hotel but without any improvements to the rooms or sevice. Same blankets and linens for 10 years and the rooms are looking shabby. Used to love this place but will look elsewhere when returning to Singapore again.

Great hotel. Friendly staff, good location. Great breakfast that varied a little each day. Be sure to ask how to adjust the airconditioning, we froze the first night. But it got better. I would stay again.

The hotel was undergoing renovations but rooms that had already been completed were just 'OK'. Room RS4 supposedly a family room (at a premium) was small and I think all plumbing from the many stories above cascade through the pipes at that point. They moved us for the next 4 nights to a better room 604 but external construction noise was still evident. The Hotel is definately showing its age. Pool good, Gym not available, Wifi $25/day, Breakfast poor.
