Hotels near Little Shophouse

I never wanted to spend much on a hotel, especially in Singapore, because mostly I will be out shopping or sight seeing or dining. Usually a hotel with this price range is old, dusty and not strategically located, but this one is different. This hotel presents a hipster/rustic design that is warm, calming, friendly and welcoming. The overall design gives a positive and good vibes. The receptionists are youngsters that are very helpful and friendly. The Indian lady that handled my check in was very clear and thorough explaining little details of the hotels. I was able to get an early check-in about 1030 in the morning, while the usual check-in time is at 2 PM. With your room, you will get a mobile device which you could use to make international call and mobile internet for free, and you can carry it around with you. Too bad I've already bought sim card from the airport, I just knew it when the reception lady explained it to me. I ended up didn't using it, but this is a big plus point. The room I was staying was tiny, only 12m squared, but it is very efficiently planned and designed, so I did not feel cramped. There was no wardrobe, which safe some space, instead there was only a rack with hangers, this I think is a smart move, because I never used hotel's wardrobe anyway. Talking about cleanliness, it was spotless clean, I knew this because I did not have any allergic reaction. My only dislike was the AC, it blows straight on to the head, and there was no control of the swing direction from the remote. But, the room itself is already pretty cool without the AC at night in the hot Singaporean weather, so I ended up not using the AC. You have ice and water dispenser in the hallway, so you can refill your water bottle. The door was not sound proofed enough, so you can hear persons talking or running in the hallway, but it was not a big deal for me. Location wise, it is not dead center in the heart of Bugis. It was 12 minutes walk to Bugis Junction. However, it is

Hotel Mi is really near with Bencoolen MRT, and just take few minutes to walk to Bugis Street. The staff were very polite and kind, they gave full information of anything we ask. The room was very clean though a little bit small, but I think it's the standard room size in Singapore. The best facility (in my opinion) they have was the "handy" phone, it provides internet while I travel around, and I could make a call to my local friend anytime, very convenient!

My 3rs visit to Singapore and best busdget hotel. This is a hotel in a perfect location Bencoolan street. - Bar BasarMRT,Bencoolan bus station and Rendezvous Hotel bus staion is few meters from hotel. - A new MRT is coming up just in front of the hotel - Many food places around such as food republic, star bucks, Subway, and many more. - Very easy access to all locations. 2 bus stops to Bugis or 10 minutes walk. 15 - 20 minutes walk to Clark Quay and little India, 5 minutes to Raffles mall. - Very spacious rooms , very clean and comfortable . Has all amenties in the room.

V hotel Bencoolen is a nice budget hotel. When I first booked this hotel, i didnt realize that this hotel is literally next to the MRT Station. It is really convenience for us to travel anywhere in Singapore with this MRT. Before the MRT Station, V hotel is always located near the food area.We didnt have to book any breakfast at the hotel because our surrounding is full with small restaurant and kopitiam. This hotel has a great value of money. With around when I first booked it, it was the best hotel ive ever booked. But, there is also another he location is also superb and has more food around it. The hotel is so a bit bigger than Bencoolen. So, if you want to book, try first; it could be full (I got that twice); then try V hotel Bencoolen

I stayed here for 3 nights booking 2 rooms. I was with my little niece, my siblings and my parents. Location wise is just great, there's a lot of night markets and food courts around the area. If you need anything, 7E is just really next to the hotel. ATM is not that far, just beside the hotel building. The room is very basic but very clean. The staff are just great and friendly and kind. One of the staff even helped me to book USS ticket for me and my family, book Uber car for us and very helpful. I remember her name as Honey. She is very kind and friendly. To Honey, thanks for making our stay memorable and enjoyable, and I hope you remember to show others the new high 5 you've learnt from my 2yrs old niece. Our stay was the best!! Please extend my thanks to your staff Honey. Overall, I highly recommend this place :)

Booked a King bedroom for 2 nights and absolutely enjoyed the stay. Room is spacious and clean, and comes with great view of the hotel's vicinity. Love that the material used for the design of the hotel corridors and room is mainly wood, which gives off a very comfortable feeling. Hotel lobby is located at level 25, and while the desk counters are not very prominent, the staff are very efficient and helpful in providing any assistance. Breakfast spread is tasty, and the gym is well equipped too! Superb location that is linked to Bugis MRT and shopping malls as well. Overall one of the best staycations I've ever had in Singapore. Will definitely come back again!

When I booked the hotel I saw there’s a swimming pool facility but didn’t realize it was an infinity pool so nice even though the backdrop is not as good as MBS, it’s still a stunning view of the city. Staff are very professional and very helpful especially when I requested to deposit my backpack for a month while I travel away and everything was intact and safe. The location is superb and WiFi connection is very good! One of the best connection in the world. The only thing I don’t quite like is the shower and toilet room design are too small. It’s silly to separate them making it harder to go in and out of shower. Lastly the cleaner is quite stingy in issuing the toiletries especially only give one shower gel bottle every day even though I was staying alone in a 2 persons room I booked for 5 nights. The cleaners did not issue standard toiletries. I also have to ask for moisture lotion as well. There are 2 standard water bottles everyday which is very pleasant and nice of the hotel.

I have been to many hotels in Singapore and this is the best so far. It's spacious compare to many with the same value. Not many come with swimming pool with the amount paid as well. It comes with complimentary parking and just located opposite of Bencoolen station, DT21 (blue line). It opened on 1st Nov 2017 so pretty new and some renovation is still on going at time of writing however it doesn't cause me any inconvenient. Orchard, Esplanade, Marina Bay, Garden by the bay just nearby. There are Food Republic and Din Tai Fung next to hotel and do try the restaurant (The Glass Onion) opposite the hotel if you do not want to travel far, the food is quite nice. The only con could be the sound proof however only when you are unlucky to stay next to some people who are not considerate and shouting till 2am which is in my case and the hotel is fully booked thus I am not able to change my room. Will be back if I am going to Singapore again.

This a nice little hotel within about five to ten minute walk (depending on your speed) from the Nicoll Highway MRT station. When I read the reviews about the hotel before I decided on it, the most common complaint was the lift. However I did not face any extra long delays though a few times I had to wait a little. I have two other minor issues. The first one is the very small wardrobe. More than its size, the annoyance was the hanging rod was placed across the depth of it making it very difficult to hang and take clothes. 2nd issue is that there is no one to help you at the ground when you arrive. You are on your own to go up to level 2 where the reception is, and if you are alone and with big luggage you will feel it. They do however provide luggage carts at the arrival point with a notice say something like we cant lend you a hand now but we can provide this trolley to help you with the luggage. I saw this actually later in my stay. Overall I am very satisfied with the hotel.

My boyfriend and I booked this hotel for our staycation to celebrate Vday last weekend. We got a free upgrade to a premier room (which was totally awesome) even though we paid at a really affordable price from agoda. Best things were good location (a stone's throw to nearby shopping Bugis Junction, Bugis +, museums, tons of restaurants and food places such as Macdonalds and convenience stores), cleanliness of the room, and a really affordable price. Given that the price we paid for a 4-star hotel, I must say I am pretty impressed. I will definitely come back for more staycations!

The first thing that made this hotel ideal for us is the location. It's right at the heart of the shopping areas like Bugis Street (less than 500m away) and Mustafa at Little India. The hotel is also just less than 3kms away from the city's tourist spots like Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Flyer, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, Merlion Park, The Esplanade. There are 2 bus stops located just across the hotel and 2 nearby mrt stations (bencoolen and rochor) so commuting via public transport wont be a problem at all. Plenty of hawkers like the one in Albert Centre scattered around the area as well. There's a good chinese and indian resto that is only 100+ steps away from the hotel too. Our hotel experience was ok. The lobby smells so good. Like cherry blossoms scent. The staff were nice and cordial especially the Filipino guy staff. Checking in was a breeze. In less than 15mins we were granted an early checked in. Room's well ventilated and clean. Aircon's too cold so set it manually.

This is not a 5* hotel so one should not compare. I had a great stay as always. The receptionists may not smile much, but they are friendly n check-in is a breeze! The standard rooms are not very small or cramp, in fact, is a reasonable size. They provide almost all the basic necessities, except for toothbrush & toothpaste n a mini bar/fridge - Standard room. But the rates are worth it despite its an old hotel. But the location is excellent. A walk to the nearest MRT is only less than 5mins! I have stayed her quite a few times, which i enjoyed staying; more than my current place (having to squeez in a roon with my sister). Not forgetting there is also a food court just behind the hotel n it take a mere 3-min walk! Will be back again n its 1 of my fav 3 star hotel to rest n chill with lotsa privacy. Take note: The aircon temp can be really cold - Which is good! Those who are afraid of the cold, remember to have ur jacket ready. Late check-out i got was only til 12.30pm, never once had 1 or 2pm check-out - Could be due to high occupancy. No room service but lotsa eateries around, so no complains. There's also drink vending machines and free ice machine located on certain floors. - Thumb up!

I arrived from the U.S. completely exhausted and a little irritable. I was pleasently surprised that the Hotel Bencoolen was easy to find (right off of the Bras Basah MRT) and the front desk staff were friendly and effecient. The room was fairly small, by US standards, but still had sufficient space with a nice size bed and a writing desk. The room was very clean and came stocked with shampoo, soap, toothbrush and free bottled water. The gym and pool area were nice (gym is a universal weight machine, bike and a treadmill) and they even had complimentary cold towels for use during your workout. Room was nice and quiet and bed was very soft (compared to many beds in SE Asia that are fairly hard). Breakfast was much more than I anticipated with eggs (cooked to order), cereal/milk, sausage, ham, toast/jam, juice, and fruit. My only complaints are that in-room wifi is not included in the price ($12 for 24 hours or $6 for 4 hours), and that they made me walk to go find an internet cafe to print-out the Agoda travel voucher (I booked the room during layover in Taiwan). Other than that though, I would highly reccomend the Bencoolen

Well, Actually i never planned to choose this hotel while on Singapore. but it turns out to be one of the best things that happen on my trip. Location : very near from bugis location, surrounded by a very interesting street such as Arab Street and the most instragramable street on SG , Haji Lane. for moslem i highly reccomended this place coz you cant found a lot of tasty and halal food around, with a view of the biggest mosque in SG. Cleanliness : Room is very compact as i can tell, very comfort with a new interior there. Staff: Well they are exceptional. very kind and broad smile on their face. never bother us and always provide everything that we need . Facilities : Room is very modern. they provide us a phone that allowed us to make a call or browsing. and the best thing is they rent it for free and we can use it outside the hotel. they provide a still and sparkling water near the receptionist which is very good deal cos a bottle of water can cost you 1 dollar there. Overall, i am very satisfied on my first visit on nuve hotel. i will go back for sure. and i very recommend this place for a solo or couple traveler, who want to save money but not feeling ease to living on hostel. this is 3 star hotel that feels like a 4 star hotel. Conclusion : Highly Recommended !

First time using Citadines group facilities, which satisfying enough. We are family with 3 children, booking 1 bedroom executive and stay for 4 night. 1. Room: Spacious and clean 2. Facilities: Gym, Laundry coin, water dispenser in each floor for free. It will be better if you have swimming pool 3. Location: 5 -6 minutes walk to Bencoolen MRT, Rochor MRT. 10 minutes walk to Bugis MRT, Little India MRT. Close to Bugis Junction, Bugis+, Sim-Lim Square. Lots of singaporean street just cross-by the hotel. 4. Good and helpful staff Note: Just wondering, my friend stay at the same time with us with same room type, charged with same price/night, (but booking it from other application). Fact that they don't get charge for sofa bed arrangement is quite shocking. We've been charge $50/night which confusing us since it's inside the room and should be free facility. Repeat Order: yes for sure, but we will try to order it from other application since they include sofa bed arrangement ^__^

We booked this hotel as we were attending an Expo at the Suntec Centre for four days. This hotel was within walking distance so it was conveniently located. It was one of the least expensive options however it was probably the best budget hotel I have stayed in Singapore. It is 100% better than last years (more expensive choice) only 100 further away. The room is what you expect from Singapore, small, however it was clean, comfortable with good internet and will be booking this hotel again for next years expo. If you are aware that you are getting a budget hotel then this will not disappoint. Good job guys.

HI, I had be staying in hotel Royal @ Queen a lot of time. From the moment you check in until you check out the service of the hotel is the best. They really there to help you and providing the best information to your question. The breakfast is nice too. Only 1 thing which during my very first time staying in this hotel's feedback to the hotel and until at this lastest stay ( 18 Jan 2016 ) that the hotel still never improve is having stay in this 4 star hotel they can't even provide 2 free mineral water to the room guests. The hotel must ALWAYS remember is small little refreshment will impact a great image of the hotel and happy of the guest whom travel 10 over hrs of flight to here ( singapore )which you can get 3 bottle NTUC mineral only cost 95 cents. A bit of cost but can bring back a lot guests to the hotel. please look into my suggestion. thank hope to see some changes when I am back to this hotel again,

I stayed here with my girlfriend & we had a great stay - we'd definitely recommend this hotel & would come back for sure. We stayed in a shophouse room with club lounge access. The Pros: - The hotel itself has got a great historic/colonial feel to it. They have kept the design cues which make it feel luxurious yet full of character - The club lounge continues this warm, interesting design & feel. The service & food in the lounge is great so well worth upgrading if you can - Our room was comfortable & well appointed - The overall service in this hotel was great & consistent. If we had a request, the staff tried their best to accommodate - Check in was quick and friendly. (We checked in at the club lounge) - Location was good, with lots of markets, shops, etc near by. The Cons: - There's only one small negative comment which is to do with the shophouse rooms. Although the room itself was good & I understand the reasoning (these were originally the shophouses back in the day) it just didn't feel as luxurious being on the 3rd floor of the hotel with no real views out our window. Personally I would prefer to be up on a high floor. Also, to get to the shophouse rooms there is 2 ways - the long way which involves a significant walk around the hotel, or the short way up a flight of un-airconditioned stairs. Either way is not ideal especially since the main hallway to the shophouse rooms is technically outside (under cover but no aircon) which is not comfortable with the Singapore humidity which can be quite unbearable at times. Other than that, we felt this hotel was great & as mentioned, we'd definitely come back.

Well, when booked this hotel I actually didn't realize there are two Bencoolens there: the hotel and a "serviced apartments" which I luckily booked. We got a 2-bedroom (plus living room) apartment, with complete kitchen and two bathrooms. The apt is little bit shubbed and some ceiling paint would help, but all the rest is very good: spacious, clean, comfortable. The kind-of-buffet breakfast is very basic, but if you are not too spoiled you will not leave hungry. The real advantages are: very good location (the taxi stand in front of the hotel, MRT station is less than 1 min walking, main attractions are in 10-15 min waling distance), the pool (including jaccuzi and toddler's pool) and kids playground on a top of the 12th floor, nice patio on the 5th floor. My conclusion : very good accommodation for budget famiky travelers!

Exactly what we needed for our stay to explore Singapore. Hotel was clean, breakfast was fine, staff were effecient. Dining room staff were friendly and hard working. My only critiscm is in the bathroom - the silicone needed replacing in some places. I mean the bathroom was clean, it just needed a bit of a deep clean and rejuvenating. We thought the rooms were tasteful, compact and perfect for a 3 star hotel. The location is excellent, 500m from Bugis or Lavender mrt stations. Bugis is a lovely youthful area with a mix of shopping centres and, importantly food stalls. Bargain to be had at with dishes at 5-10 S$. The hotel is also around the corner from a few boutique local shops and shophouses ( situated behind the hotel). We drove down orchard road where lots of 5* hotels were and glad we weren't staying there! Nothing but designer shops and no food options ( I guess you eat in the hotels). We stayed for 2 nights. Breakfast was decent, a simple choice of a Malay type breakfast (rice/eggs/noodles/protein), or basic fruit and cereal. I enjoyed the roast chicken and rice! It's a great hotel if you're looking for a place to stay to explore the city and don't need over the top hotel luxury.

Getting to and from in singapore can be challenging, not with this hotel. Little India MRT station is a 5 min walk. Bugis street is also a 5 min walk for loads of shipping bargains galore. Have an authentic singapore ice cream sandwich located just before you cross the crosswalk to enter the Bugis shopping center. The staff was always welcoming and helpful at anytime you walked in the lobby. Long term bag check was available as we arrived on the morning flight and check-in was not until 3 pm. We just toured around a bit on the MRT and checked in later not having to tote our bags with us. We were offered a an upgrade to a nicer larger room one floor higher with (2) double beds. I debated in my head about taking it with no extra cost, but declined. We got a queen size bed, I don't know, but for a couple, you really want a queen or larger to sleep on. The downfall is the room size, it is a bit small. You can move around freely, but can get congested with a lot of bags on the floor. We used the folded bag stand to organize and make it comfortable. Shower, toilet, etc... nice, a little tough to dial in the water temp on the shower knob, I mean, its scorchin boiling hot or ice cube cold. Just took some experirmenting on get the handle in the right spot, the warm spot or cold if your back from a sweaty day in sing. The pool is right outside your window. There is a fitness area in the corner of the pool. Its in like a glass gazebo. They had quite a good aerobic, run, weight set-up. You could do your workout pretty easily using just maybe 3 pieces of the 7 or so pieces equipment inside. The pool has full chaise lounge chairs. Super relaxing, long pool, nice to do some laps or just cool off. There is a kids play area, so if your a family this is very good to break the boredom for the kids to doing something different than walk around with mom and dad on a hot sing day. I feel the 4 star price you pay, is really a 5 star hotel in comparison.

We booked the hotel for our 4-day trip in Singapore. It was very easy to find. We took the train from the airport and did not encounter any concerns finding the hotel. The signage outside the building was exactly as it was shown in Agoda. When we arrived, we found it easy to find out what to do since directions were indicated on the first floor of the building. Guests can rely on the green signage outside plus there's a sticker that says "85" on the glass door. We took the lift to the 2nd floor and when we showed the booking print-out from Agoda, we were checked-in rather quickly. Our room was on the 6th floor, so we were instructed to pass through the 2nd floor all-the-time on the way up since an access card from the staff is needed to go up. Location is superb being very close to Suntec City and Bugis. There's also a ton of food places within a 3 to 5 minute walk from the hotel. Staff was always ready to help. Bed was just the right size for two people, though we wished they provided two single blankets instead of one big sheet. We also didn't ask to change it, so we made do with what was provided. We can sometimes hear sounds (either voices of people speaking from other rooms or sounds coming from the pipes, maybe for their toilets & water system). TV standby blue light was impossible to turn off, so we had to find a way to cover it. The cleaning lady was superb, she was so nice and even reminded us that she hasn't given us our complimentary bottled water. It's a good place, considering the price, for a place to sleep and take a bath.

Booked from Sep 25 - Sep 28, 2017. Deluxe Double Room 206. PROS : 1. Yes, it has a window. 2. Best value for Budget hotel. 3.

CONS: 1. TV Cable just a few channel, about 6 or 7 channel, no children channel 2. No Water Closed sprayer ------------- We will stay again in this hotel if went to Singapore.

Great hotel and wonderful friendly staff. We have met some trouble few days before our traveling period. However, the hotel staff try all their best to help us and provide the best service to us. Me and my friend came from 2 different countries, and only my friend will be arriving at the hotel, and she only can speak a little bit English only, however, when I write an email to the hotel, their efficiency on replying email and also arrangement to help my friend who came from Japan is just fantastic and appreciated. Never-ever thought that we have booked a very nice hotel and great staff. Hotel location just nice, friendly and helpful staff is the best, cleanliness of the hotel perfect. I asked my friend how's she going to rate the hotel for overall, without thinking, she replied me 10/10! Great hotel ever. And will return back to the hotel again. Last but not least, thank you very much to the hotel staff and also manager. We definitely will go back to stay with you again and introduce to everyone. TQ~

I wasn't expecting too much when I booked a room for me and my mom as I was only after the location of the hotel since I read from the other reviews that it's practically just a stroll away from most of the places we were planning to visit. When we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised since the room is bigger compared to the usual 3 star hotels around the Bugis area. Although customer service of the staff is average which is normal in Singapore, I did enjoy the convenience plus I also love the view from our room. Despite the fact that we were just at the 3rd floor, we didn't hear any noise coming from the road. It was also great that we had so many options when it comes to food and places to go to. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

Me and my friend was in Singapore attending a conference and stayed at Zen Rooms Mackenzie for 5 nights. Our Standard Double Room was quite small but good space and clean as well as comfortable enough for 2 adults. The staffs were ever so helpful and friendly regardless of the time they were approached at. The best point is the location whereby it is situated almost like next to the MRT station Little India, the place is visible as you exited the station via Mackenzie Road exit, with very short distance walking to reach the entrance of the hotel. As a Muslim traveler, I was very pleased to find two Halal certified restaurants just beside the hotel, serving local delicacies as well as kopitiam style food. There is also 7 eleven, within very short distance walking as well. All in all, me and my friend had a really good stay at Zen Rooms Mackenzie, stress and hassle free, definitely recommend this hotel for others and would stay here again if I'm ever back in Singapore.

I think you can't better hotel in Singapore at this price. Elegant and practical design for their relative spacious room (I like the shower room especially), quite at night, some cheap spa nearby, a nice indian restaurant open till late, etc. Of course it's not in the best area but considering the size of Singapore, it's still a better to spend a little more on taxi but much less on hotel. Staff are efficient and helpful, no complaint, but on my departure date there was some sort of video shooting in lobby, I was not informed so when I walked out of elevator the crew were staring right at me like I walked into a wrong place (it's c/o time what did I suppose to do ...) finally they allowed me out of the elevator to finish my c/o, but I had to drag myself and luggage out to wait for my taxi on the street because the lobby was still occupied ... By the way, want to thank the reception in their sister hotel at Sultan Street, she helped me to find the right hotel while taxi dropped me at the wrong place when I arrived.

My wife &I stayed here for 5 days, booked through Agoda. Check in no problem. I had read that the rooms were small, but the location & pool confirmed my decision on this hotel. Location is excellent, as it is only 5 minutes walk to Little India or Rochor MRT stations. There are many places to eat and drink, a very cost effective area is a small Soi running parallel to Rochor Rd & Middle Rd, on the way to Bugis St markets. Great food court down stairs.
