Excellent Location and Value for Families/Long Stays! Somerset Bencoolen is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Singapore, especially if you prioritize convenience and space. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it, particularly for families or travelers planning a longer trip.Location, Location, Location :The single biggest advantage is the location. The hotel is literally steps across the road from the Bencoolen MRT station (Downtown Line), making city navigation incredibly easy. We were also a very short walk from Bras Basah MRT (Circle Line) and Dhoby Ghaut (multiple lines). This central spot puts you within walking distance of the Singapore Art Museum, Bugis Street, and just two stops away from the Orchard Road shopping belt.Spacious & Practical Serviced Apartment :The apartments are significantly more spacious than typical Singapore hotel rooms. Having a dedicated living area, a dining space, and a fully equipped kitchenette (fridge, microwave, stove) was a game-changer. It allowed us to prepare small meals and snacks, which is great for saving money and managing dietary needs. The beds were comfortable, and we appreciated the efficient air conditioning.Amenities and Service:The rooftop pool is a quiet oasis with great city views—perfect for a refreshing dip after a long day of sightseeing. The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and attentive, always ready to assist with directions or taxis.A Small Note:While the apartment was clean and well-maintained, the property is a bit older, and you might notice some minor wear and tear, but this is a tiny trade-off for the exceptional space and unbeatable location.Overall:If you value excellent connectivity, the convenience of a full apartment setup, and friendly service, Somerset Bencoolen is superb value for money in the heart of Singapore's arts and education district. We would definitely stay here again!
