Bencoolen Street, a street in the Rochore Area located in the Central Region, stretches between Rochor Canal Road/Rochor Road junction and Stamford Road. Bencoolen Street was named after the Bencoolen Muslims who settled here between 1825 to 1828. Their burial ground still sits in the nearby Istana grounds. Bencoolen Street is internationally recognised by travellers as the 'back-packers' hotel row, where a string of inexpensive hotels and dormitories accommodate budget travellers.
