The rooms were lovely however, the aircon didn’t do proper cooling in the room. Wish there was more variety in the continental breakfast. Pool was amazing with rooftop view & the staff was very friendly & helpful. Location very convenient.

Home away from home that has a separate living room and kitchen area and not like the open concept style of hotel rooms. Playround perfect for small kids(preferrably 7 and below), laundry area and swimming pool. Hope to come back this area.

Excellent staff! Room was nice, specious and clean! Rooftop pool was top notch, so as kids play area. Checkin & check out was smooth! They hold my luggage as my flight was late in the evening. Bell service guy was excellent and helped me moving my luggage to the cab with a smile! I will surely comeback next time.

I found the service apartment well maintained and the basic amenities provided have been well thought through. The front desk was also helpful and polite. It is at a stones throw away from Bencoolen MRT station and there are some very good food , grocery options within a 3-4 minute walk. I would rate these service apartments highly.

We stayed at a 2 bedrooms apartment. The apartment looked nice and clean. Both bathrooms are cleaned with very good water pressure. The beds were abit hard, but was quite comfortable.
The location was very good, close by to mrt, shops, shopping centres and easy to get around to other places by bus or mrt.
The staffs were friendly, attentive and helpful.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

The room conditions were okay, dated but okay however first time staying at a hotel that had ants. There were ants in the bathroom and ants in the living room. On top of that the bathtub was missing a shower curtain. Front desk staff was friendly. Another improvement would be the very hot elevator and hallway.

It was a comfortable stay. Location is great! Only drawback is the hotel room was not ready until about 340. We had to wait before could get to the room.
Otherwise the front office Zaki was very helpful. He was pleasant and very couteous.

It has the same layout as the condo I used to live in, with two shower rooms, two bedrooms, and a kitchen equipped with everything you basically need—knives, plates, spoons, forks, a microwave, and more. Daily cleaning is provided, and even the dishes are washed. There’s also a pool and a gym, both kept very clean. Access to trains and buses is convenient. I’ve stayed at several luxury hotels in Singapore, but I felt this place offered the best value for money.
Our stay at Somerset Bencoolen was a pleasant one. There are some small details that need improvement however, it suited our purpose and overall we had a comfortable stay. The apartments need a bit of refurbishing (we stayed in a 2Br apartment on the 8th floor) and the pictures are more inviting than in real life. The hotel uses a signature smell that is too strong for us and our baby. It can be dialed back a little bit. The cleaning agents in the room are also quite strong and too harsh for our infant so we had to air out the room. On the bright side, the bed was comfortable, the room was large, the AC was cold, the shower was hot, towels were fluffy. Good value for what you get.

Stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. A little difficult to find initially but a great location. 15 minutes walk to Bugis St and 3 minutes walk to Bencoolen MRT - and only 20 seconds in the rain! We bought a tourist pass and travelled all over. Apartment clean, quiet and well equipped - if just a little worn. Beds excellent. 1 bedroom en suite, other one next to the main bathroom so ideal for two couples travelling together. Breakfast was in the independent restaurant downstairs and was pretty good. We didn’t book ‘including breakfast’ but wished we had. Good value for Singapore
Fantastic location, with an MRT just across the street on the line that connected to almost everywhere we needed to go, which made it really easy to get around. Great sized apartments for a family of four. Also handy to have the restaurant downstairs. Only slight downside for us was no smart tvs in the lounge for when the kids needed an hour of downtime, but otherwise we thought it was a great hotel, with lovely staff and would 100% stay again
