The Standard, Singapore
This hotel is tucked away in the central city corner a bit of walk to Orchard road which can be not too pleasant on a hot sunny humid day but good for the body. They do have a shuttle bus to MRT station. Spacious room! Toilet very bright and clean, just only one hook to hang extremely heavy bath ...

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.
