It was an average experience, the staff at reception was not warm And welcoming, super casual approach and very cold behaviour. Housekeeping staff was very good and very warm. Our Ac was not working during our 4 days stay , person was sent but still it wasn’t corrected, moreover tone was so tired that didn’t had the strength to ask the hotel to send again. Rooms were okay, pillows were uncomfortable. Train station was slightly away..was not closer.

I thought it was near perfect for business trip. Budgeted and great location. The Good I used taxi app to catch taxi to go anywhere or to get back and this location was very easy to call taxi. Nearby, there were great restaurants, also if you walk few minutes a big shopping mall. The area had both local and developed face of the country. So it was fun, just walking around the hotel was fun and felt safe about it. So locationwise and with the hotel price, I thought it was very good. Hotel alone, it was clean, simple, good internet and that was enough for this business trip. The only reason I couldn't give five star is because I had nearly zero communication with staff. And defenitely not a complain. Staff are nice, answers to question but that's it. The Bad (perhaps not "bad") As mentioned earlier, very useful and productive hotel. But felt no hospitality. If I am a manager, I'd be proud how staffs are not wasting time and being productive on their work but as a guest, I mean, it's not required but a greetings and few words are always better impression. Although, it's far more better than seeing hotel staff gigling and chatting.

It's a decent hotel but mostly its self-service. You can't expect too much from the staff. Even the front office is very direct and to the point, a bit cold to be honest. In hospitality you do expect better. Nonetheless, the rooms are fine, a bit small but adequate for 2 people. Bed is comfortable, and breakfast is fine. They had a strict time rule of 10AM and would just pull the plug off most items sharp at 10. Too many rules to follow when in Singapore. We shifted from here to another hotel after 3 nights and the second hotel was much much better.

I booked this hotel through hotel.com for reasonable room rate. Very good excellent breakfast, 10 min walk to Rocher MRT, 20 min walk to little India by MRT can reach any attractions in minutes. Room service and front desk staff very helpful and good. Room very tight small not enough room for your luggage. Bed sheets and pillow cases not very clean. Stayed 3 nights served the purposes. Have to get water from common cooler on floors no water bottles provided.

From the sales director Linda to front desk personnel Shazilla, everyone made me feel so welcome each time I check in. There is even a nice gym with great view. Upgrade to premium floor you get free use of smart phone, welcome fruits, cookies, soft drink and even a beer. Room has everything even a king size bed They are so dedicated to customer service there is postal everywhere to answer to your needs within 15 mins! and we are talking about IBIS, not Sofitel or Swissotel category. They made all efforts to be environment friendly but does not compromise comfort of the guests Location is absolutely unbeatable with the MRT line direct to airport and being a foodie, there is no end to choice of great food all within walking distance.

Great location, bed and breakfast. Staff helpful, but need some Singapore maps in English. Close to Bugis street's plentiful shops and underground train stop. Bus stops right in front of hotel. Great 7 Eleven shop next door. Beware of the road works at this time, near the hotel.

Checked in and was assisted by Nass who gave a welcoming service. We received cookies and longans (i think?), but the cookies weren't enjoyable. The room although is outdated (the hotel was built in 2009 if I am not wrong), the housekeepers did a pretty good job as it is super clean compared to other outdated hotels like Grand Mercure Roxy. Only downside is that the toilet looks like a bomb shelter but as I do not spent most of my time in the toilet, it wasn't a big deal for me. Informed Nass that we were experiencing some issues with the chromecast and Alvin came promptly and was patient to assist us with it although it was around 9-9.30pm. Ordered mcd the following day for breakfast and I didn't receive maple syrup but Prabhu was super kind to provide us maple syrup. Dined at Taste for the second time and was served by Shafiq and Vicky. Tried the Miso Salmon and Ravioli Funghi Porcini along with twister prawns. Miso Salmon was super good, paired with their creamy mashed potato and veggies. Their salmon was cooked well, moist and the skin was prolly the best part! For someone who doesn't like fish skin, it didn't taste fishy like the smelly kind. Ravioli was not bad though it felt slightly boring cause you only taste the cream sauce. Not much flavour on it but the ravioli was very tender. Twister prawns were very boring too in my opinion, just prawn wrapped in popiah skin and it was oily. Since it was happy hour, we ordered quite a number of drinks and truly enjoyed most of it. Vicky gave such a pleasant and warm service, recommending drinks and even told me that since i like sweeter drinks, i may not like the tequini and i really didn't hahaha. We tried hurricane, bees knees, clover fizz, mango daiquiri but i think clover fizz was one of the best aside from their strawberry daiquiri. Their mango cream cake wasn't exactly that nice, felt mediocre but for $9.90, it was alright. Vicky was funny tho, she served it and told me "be careful, it's frozen" 🤣 Shout out to Arun as well for the late check-out. All in all, we'd definitely come back to stay here at Ibis Bencoolen and dine at Taste. Prices are affordable and the quality is superb too.

We loved our stay here. I dropped a note when booking to let them know my husband’s birthday was coming up and they surprised us with a lovely cake on the day. Housekeeping was done daily and drinks and breakfast items were replenished each day. They also allowed us to check in early and check out late too. And also kept our bags for a short while after checkout since our flight wasn’t till evening. We’ll definitely stay here whenever we’re in Singapore. Lovely customer service
