Comfortable hotel, great stopover location

Review of 30 Bencoolen
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 22 Apr 2024via mobile
Location was perfect for getting to nearby attractions (Raffles Long Bar, Haji Lane, Bugis St) and easy to get transport to other places to visit during a short stopover. Plenty of food-restaurants options within a 15min walk including Raffles City Mall. Hotel room was modern, clean, comfortable, and offered space to share for the 3 adults in our family group. Staff were always helpful and provided great customer service. The rooftop pool was very good along with seating to relax next to pool.
Date of stay: April 2024
Room Tip: Liked this hotel stay. Only point to note is the hotel restaurant/bar was undergoing...

Stayed here for 2 nights March 2024. Everything was wonderful. Great location. Helpful staff. Taxi stand across the street. Very close to two MRT stations: Bencoolen and Bras Basah. The convenience made our stay there easy. We were very happy with our choice.

Room tip: Easy to use Grab or the MRT

The hotel is great, the location is brilliant, easy transport links. The staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and spacious.

The pool and spa are are really nice, it was great to have a swim in the blistering heat of Singapore.

I would definitely stay here again and recommend.

My wife, 4 year old daughter and I have just spent 3 nights at 30 Bencoolen in a triple room and were happy with our stay.

It is in a great central location. Close to 3 MRT stations - so easy to get around and close to reasonably priced places to eat and convenience stores.

The pool on the 15th floor is nice, with great views overs the city. Our daughter loved it. It is 1.2m deep so we had to be careful with a little one.

The beds in our triple room were comfortable and we did not hear noise from other rooms. The room was a bit small for 3 of us and luggage.

Enjoyed our stay. Housekeeping were good but surprised that we were given a well worn towel and bath mat on a couple of occasions. Also found it unusual that an outlet for the hairdryer wasn’t in the bathroom (looked and couldn’t find one).

Good location. Would stay again.

My favorite thing about this hotel is the great location. It is steps from two MRT stations as well as walking distance from many tourist sights. The National Museum is practically at the corner. My room was clean and fairly spacious, though the lighting was too low. At 220 SGD/night it was a decent, if not great, value. There was a major issue during my first night in the hotel. Singapore is a very hot place and the temperature in my room was uncomfortably hot. In the morning, I called the front desk and a maintenance person was quickly dispatched to my room (by the way, the staff is quite friendly and responsive). He immediately checked the AC filter and it was caked with several inches of dust. After installing a new filter, all was well and my room was delightfully cool for the rest of my stay. I think it is incumbent upon the hotel to better maintain the AC filters. It boggles my mind that guests before me just accepted the unacceptable condition. I found the included "breakfast" to be less than mediocre and would like to see the hotel restaurant, closed for years, open once again. In summary, my rating is based mostly on the location. The next time I visit Singapore, I might choose to stay in a more full service hotel..
