While in Singapore we stayed at the Ibis on Bencoolen, located near city centre and a stones throw from Bugis Street and all it has to offer.
While not a luxury hotel it has all that a traveller to Singapore might need, with possible exception of a pool. The rooms are clean and functional, not huge in size but after all you only need somewhere to sleep. The staff are friendly and willing to help. We were going to change some money on one morning and the man at the desk suggested we use a money changer in Bugis Markets as the rates would be better than those at the hotel, not often you get that!
There is a 7-11 downstairs selling drinks etc, the rooms have a small fridge but thankfully it’s empty so you can stock it yourself. A much cheaper idea than mini-bar options in most hotels. The Tastes Restaurant is open 24/7 with reasonable pricing on a wide range of foods, although you have so many options on the doorstep that we didn’t bother with it. There’s a cheap noodle place over the road where we managed on one occasion to grab a meal and drinks for about $12SGD, and that is only one option.
So the Ibis is worth a look if you are after a reasonably priced central place to call home while in Singapore.
