I had a one bedroom apartment. The size is fine for one or a couple but the decor was like it was from late 90s. There is a small two seater rock hard sofa and a coffee table in the living room and a two seater dining table. The kithhen had couple pans and well stocked with glasses and plates.... More

Somerset apartment equips everything for family stay. It is close to two subway stations (10 mins walk). Breakfast could not be simpler, only bread and cereal. Opposite the street there is a main construction site, which starts making noise from 9am to 7pm. Pool is at roof floor. More

The first thing that struck me about this place is that it is a little tired. I agree with the previous reviewers that it certainly is not luxurious but it was clean and had everything we needed. We wanted more space than just two hotel rooms for 2 adults and 2 kids, and a small apartment was what we were... More

This accommodation is basic. There is no denying that. BUT everything you need is right here. IF you are looking for a pool, there is a really good one on the roof. If you are looking for kids' places to play, they are looked after. Laundry and gym are taken care of... AND location is very good. Within 5 mins... More

We chose Singapore as our family holiday this year after a stopover to Europe last year. We were intrigued with what Singapore could offer as a family holiday. We did our research before leaving as we always do and it paid off. We had a list long enough to cover our 10 days stay and more. We chose to stay... More

After a week at the Bencoolen my head is really hurting! There is so much contruction going on. Between 10am and 10pm it is virtually impossible to be in your room - they are building a train station right out the front and digging up the road directly out the back - this looks like continuing for a few more...

I stayed here for one month after being relocated to Singapore. I hadn't a clue where this was and on a map, it looked like it was in a bit of a no-man's land between Orchard Rd and the marina front. How wrong I was. It simply couldn't have been a better located hotel. Within walking distance are 2 of... More

When I got the service apartment I found it was centrally located with two subway lines within 8 minutes walk of one another. Pros: ~Close to Fort... More
