This is our second stay at Bencoolen Somerset. Our two bedroom/ two bath unit is quite nice, though it feels like nothing has been upgraded since we were last here. The swimming pool is great for the kids, though it is not too large. The buffet breakfast is not great, but adequate. Unfortunately, there is massive construction directly outside our... More

Staying here since the past 2 weeks and going to stay for the next 2 months. It is well maintained even though the building appears old. The interiors are quite good and spacious for staying with family. They have a launderette inside the hotel but its a paid service. The internet speed could have been better. The roof top swimming...

Booked the 1 bedroom apartment for my dad's 9 days stay and he's still staying when i wrote this. Apartment was gloomy looking but still ok. No washer/dryer in the apartment like i'm used to in other Somerset property elsewhere in other country so i guess i put my expectation a lil too high thinking that it's in Singapore anyways....

Inspite of the construction of a new railway station, which was more of an inconvenience for the taxis this property was more than adequate for a few days stay in Singapore. The staff were more than welcoming and helpful..a complimentary upgrade to a premium two bedroom apartment provided a balcony with a view over the garden. Breakfast was more than... More

Currently staying at this property and it's exactly as I expected from reading previous reviews - except we can't hear the MRT works at all (maybe as we're on level 12?). Spacious two bedroom apartment with a queen and a double bed, and an ensuite. Big fridge in kitchen. No service on Sundays, but no concern for us as only... More

Stayed here, last August (2012), we were 7 of us. When I booked it, was only 2 rooms apt, but since that some of my family would like to join us, I was thinking to rebook for 3 bedroom, but it was last minute decision, so I didn't have a chance to change the booking. Anyway, when we arrived in... More

My family, 5 adults and 2 toddlers, stayed in their 2 bedroom apartment last January. The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable even with extra bed. Kitchen is well equipped, you really can cook here (unfortunately i didnt since our stay was short). Very close to MTR station and Singapore's main attraction, you can literally walk to see them...

They are currently building a new MRT station at the front or the appartments however work stops arount 9.00 pm and doesn't restart till 8.00 am. This is the only negative we have about this appartment. The staff are friendly, rooms are clean and comfortable and kid friendly and breakfasts are good. There are great play facilities for the kids!... More

We booked 2 bedroom apt with member price, since our last year stay was at Somerset Grand Cairnhill. We wanted different situation so we read reviews from Trip Advisor and found that Bencoolen area is recommended. Since we were going to go with 3 kids, the apartment type was necessity. There was no hesitation choosing Somerset because we knew they... More

Location was great. The place is near two MRT stops. Taxi stands are also close by as are bus stops. A 7-11 is within walking distance as well as a kopitiam which is open 24hrs. The unit comes complete with everything. A living area, a functioning kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It was perfect for our family. The beds... More
