Feedback about Somerset Bencoolen Singapore from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Somerset Bencoolen Singapore is appreciated for its spacious apartments, especially the 2-bedroom options which comfortably accommodate families, and include complete amenities. Its prime location directly opposite the Bencoolen MRT station (DT21) allows for easy access to various attractions, with Bugis and Orchard Road just a short walk away; several restaurants and supermarkets are also conveniently nearby. While most find the facilities great, a few guests have noted that some of the furniture appears old or run down. The rooftop swimming pool is a highlight for many, offering a relaxing space to cool off.
I had such a wonderful stay. The MRT station across the road was super convenient. I could easily explore. The rooftop pool was a total highlight, offering a great way to unwind after sightseeing. I even stored my luggage after checkout and could still use hotel facilities.
The water pressure was unfortunately quite low. It impacted the shower experience negatively.

metro stationhelpful stafflovely poolwater filter
Mr. Hussain helped us a lot! The location is close to the metro station. Many facilities are also nearby. The mosque is located downstairs, next to the hotel's main gate. The pool had a shallow section for children and a lap pool. It also had great showers!
The hotel did not provide water bottles. Instead, they had a water filter. I was not able to find clear instructions on how to use the water filter

I found a grocery store that was within a 3-4 minute walk from the hotel. It offered many good food options. A Korean supermarket is about a 5-minute walk toward the direction of Little India. It has cheaper prices.

The rooftop pool is not very large. it's adequate for light recreation, remember to bring swimming suits. The gym is small and includes several machines such as treadmills. The 5th floor has a laundry room.

The apartment had a kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, induction cooker, electric pot, and even an oven. Basic amenities are provided. These have been well-thought-out. The bathroom had a jet washer. I even got a bathtub!
