Capri By Fraser China Square, Singapore
Location was handy to Chinatown and a couple of HOHO bus stops. Reception was understated and not particularly welcoming. Room was as described, view was disappointing. Pool area underwhelming - while you could take a dip, you couldn’t take drinks.

Everything was great. A bigger more restful lobby would have been awesome.
