Hotel Mi Rochor

Hotel Mi Rochor Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Hotel Mi Rochor, you immediately get that boutique vibe — it’s polished without being stuffy, and honestly, the staff seems genuinely happy to see you. The lobby has this clean, modern aesthetic that feels distinctly Singaporean, and I mean that in the best way. You know what struck me most? How quiet it feels despite being right in the heart of Singapore, which is no small feat in this city.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about Short Street — it’s one of those addresses that puts you exactly where you want to be without the chaos. You’re a five-minute walk from Bugis MRT station, which honestly makes getting anywhere in Singapore ridiculously easy. The whole Bencoolen area has this interesting mix of old shophouses and new developments, so you get authentic local flavor without sacrificing modern conveniences. I noticed couples seem particularly drawn to this spot, and after spending time here, I totally get why — there’s something romantic about those tree-lined streets and the way the neighborhood feels both urban and intimate.

The Room Experience

The room design is what I’d call smart minimalism — everything you need, nothing you don’t, but executed really well. The beds are actually comfortable (not always a given in boutique hotels), and the bathrooms have proper water pressure, which any seasoned traveler will appreciate. What I really liked was how they’ve maximized the space without making it feel cramped. The air conditioning works perfectly too, which in Singapore’s humidity is basically non-negotiable.

Breakfast and Practical Perks

The buffet breakfast surprised me — it’s not huge, but they’ve clearly put thought into what they’re serving. You get a solid mix of Western and Asian options, and the coffee is actually decent, not that watery hotel stuff you sometimes endure. Having parking available right at the hotel is honestly a game-changer if you’re planning to rent a car or have friends picking you up — four-star hotels in central Singapore don’t always offer this convenience.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it doesn’t try to be everything to everyone — it just does the fundamentals really well. The location gets consistently high marks for good reason, and the service feels personal without being intrusive. You’re close enough to walk to Bugis Street for late-night shopping or grab authentic hawker food at nearby centers, but you can also retreat to a genuinely peaceful space when you need to recharge. For the price point in this part of Singapore, Hotel Mi Rochor delivers exactly what most travelers are actually looking for — comfort, convenience, and that feeling like you’ve found a little gem that not everyone knows about yet.

  Great location being only a 3-minute walk from the nearest MRT that went to downtown / habour. Check in was fast and efficient. Rooms were on the small side, but this is common for Singapore, with not much room. Room suitable for a solo traveler, I had one suitcase and was not able to walk around both sides of the bed. Good room facilities: no issues with shower impacting other areas of the bathroom as fully enclosed, also had a safe, hairdryer, filtered water on tap, great bathroom products, small fridge, and a giant size TV.
