The only good thing was the location! Terribly noisy, and things not working. Appeared reasonably clean but mice were seen in our room on last night of stay. Lights (card operation) wouldn't work; air-con controlled by office (either on or off) and no temperature control in room so either froze or cooked. No hot water one day. Breakfast?? No restaurant... more

We were looking for a budget hotel in the middle of Singapore. This is exactly what the Bencoolen is! No frills, cheap and close to everything. Don't expect too much. But is is reasonbably clean and good value for money. more

Hotel Bencoolen is located less than a 10 minutes walk to either Orchard Road or Bugis Junction, which makes it centrally located and easy to get around. Lots of shopping & dining in every price category near-by. The room was the smallest I have encountered in my decades of travel, if you're claustrophobic, stay away. It was 7sqm, tops! Bathroom... more

I stayed at standard twin room (elisabeth queen type} and paid SGD 103 per night on 20 & 22 March 2008. The room is shocking small, there is no chair due too limited space. The room is adequately clean while the bathroom somewhat clean. Furniture is old, and amazingly you can only switch off the AC (fan level and tempature... more

One of the hotels in the city centre near Ochard road. We had to pay about 100 euro a day for the room, but the value of the room is not worth the money. The rooms were not clean, the boy at the check-in was very unfriendly and the equipment in the room was very outdated (including the not functioning... more

Checked into this hotel for one night with my girlfriend and my best friend late last year. Cost of room is $150 each. All four of us were so disappointed with the whole experience. Bad points: The television were old and there were no cable channels available. Both of rooms were different. Mine had a bath tub, while my friend's... more

Bencoolen St is situated within 10~15 minutes walk to Orchard Rd. I stayed in a twin sharing room on the 7th floor. The room was quite large, enough for couple and wth a well equipped bathroom.It is clean and quiet too. Staffs are friendly enough except for the front receptionist (female). Overall is good if you are travelling on a... more

We got a reasonable deal at S$168 per ni and were there for 2 nights last week. The first night we arrived at around 11pm and were given Room RS6 on the 2nd floor. It was a nightmere - notwithstanding its new decor, the room was absolutely unbearably noisy. (I can assure you I am NOT a light sleeper.) You... more
