The apartments include well-equipped kitchenettes that offer flexibility, and the rooftop pool seems like a real highlight. It's a family-friendly place, but I think its location and amenities would also suit business travelers seeking convenience.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Somerset Bencoolen Singapore is often described as offering spacious apartments, particularly the well-appointed two-bedroom options suitable for families, conveniently located opposite the Bencoolen MRT station. Guests appreciate the rooftop swimming pool area, which many find even better than the pictures suggest, along with amenities like the kids' paddling pool and jacuzzi.

convenient storerooftop poolefficient dryers

The mrt station is across the street. a convenience store is very close. the rooftop pool was great. It was quiet. the laundry room included four washing machines. The dryers were also efficient.

Housekeeping opened the door despite the 'do not disturb' sign. It was a bit unnerving.

The gym, if you can even call it that, was practically useless. i mean, seriously, $17 to wash my own clothes? that is highway robbery. also the apartment is so old it needs a serious refurbishment. The lounge was uncomfortable, the bed was like sleeping on springs.
