Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen

Average: $200 per night

I rate it: 3/5

To start off this post, I have to clarify that most people think the Ibis chain is more budget than mid-range, but for Ibis in Singapore, the prices are not exactly budget as well. In fact, I recall that when they first set up, the price was $150, and over the next few months, the price steadily increased. I think the price is now $220, which does not really make sense for me.

Back to the hotel, location is good, being in Bugis area, close to the MRT and Bugis Junction. In the area, there are many cafes and nice shopping streets with cute stores, like Arab Street and Haji Lane.

Pretty accessible and standing right on Bencoolen, you cannot miss this hotel. There are many eateries around as well.

Plus point about this hotel is that there is a Guardian and 7-11 right below it on ground level, so you can pick up whatever you need, even a late snack.

As with all Ibis hotels, this is a very basic hotel, so do not expect a lot.

The rooms are clean and made up, but quite small, and there is no room service, of course.

Cafe has a nice range of bite-size dishes from different cuisines, so that is interesting. Drinks are served promptly and service is quite good actually.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel for the location, but I do not think it is worth the price. You may want to check out my other posts on hotels in Singapore.
