If you’re looking for a comfortable stay in Singapore with easy access to halal dining, prayer facilities and major attractions, Somerset Bencoolen offers a convenient option for Muslim travellers, with thoughtful amenities designed to make your stay more comfortable.
Located at 51 Bencoolen Street, the serviced residence is just steps away from Bencoolen MRT Station and about a 10-minute walk from Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station, making it easy to get around the city.
Thoughtful Muslim-friendly amenities
One of the key highlights of Somerset Bencoolen is its range of Muslim-friendly facilities and services.
Rooms come equipped with Qibla direction markers, while guests can loan prayer kits and separate male and female prayer garments during their stay.
For guests who prefer to prepare their own meals, dedicated halal cutlery and plates are also available upon request for use in the private kitchens.
The property is also within immediate proximity to Masjid Bencoolen, making it convenient for guests who wish to perform their prayers at a nearby mosque.
Halal restaurants and cafes nearby
Guests can also find halal food options without having to venture far. Putra Minang Restaurant, located on-site, serves fully halal Indonesian cuisine, including dishes such as Nasi Padang.
With a halal restaurant within the property and a mosque just nearby, Muslim travellers can enjoy a little more convenience throughout their stay.
Spacious apartment-style rooms
Somerset Bencoolen offers 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartment configurations, including accessible room options.
During the stay, the 1-bedroom apartment stood out for its generous space, making it feel more like a home than a typical hotel room.
Each apartment comes with a fully equipped kitchen, modern interiors and a spacious living room. The bathroom also comes with a bathtub, adding an extra touch of comfort for longer stays.
The kitchen is particularly practical for guests who prefer cooking their own meals. Beyond the usual essentials such as a stove and microwave, the kitchen also comes with an oven and filtered water, giving guests plenty of flexibility to prepare anything from a quick breakfast to a proper home-cooked meal.
Facilities for a relaxing stay
Beyond the apartments, Somerset Bencoolen has a range of facilities for both relaxation and recreation.
There is an outdoor swimming pool for a refreshing dip, while the rooftop garden offers an open-air space to unwind.
Guests who want to maintain their workout routine can make use of the well-equipped gym, while families travelling with children can head to the children’s playground.
Convenient location in central Singapore
The property’s Bencoolen location makes it a convenient base for exploring the city.
It is close to attractions including the Singapore Art Museum, National Museum of Singapore and Singapore Management University (SMU), while Orchard Road is also just a short drive away.
With Bencoolen MRT Station right outside the property, getting around is particularly convenient whether you’re travelling for business, leisure or a family stay.
