Capri by Fraser, Changi City is what used to be a business hotel and now become a leisure staycation hotel. The hotel has a total of 313 studio rooms and every room comes attached with fully equipped kitchenettes.
A nice hotel to stay in and chill over the weekends. The concept is similar to 1 bedroom condominium and due to the location, not a lot of people are booking for staycation thus pool and gym slots are available readily for booking.
Traveling to Capri Fraser Changi
The hotel is located within walking distance of Singapore Expo MRT.
Guests who are driving will need to park at Changi City Point. There isn’t any complimentary parking for guests.
You may drop your passengers at the lobby driveway before heading to the carpark.
Check-in
Prior to your stay, there will be a welcome email stating your arrival check-in timing. Please follow that timing as any earlier, you won’t be able to get your room.
There are 2 counters for processing check-in and 1 for checking out.
Studio Deluxe
I was assigned to room number 719 and measure at 36 sqm. The room is modern and fitted with a well-equipped kitchenette with an induction stove and microwave.
Once entered the room, the kitchenette is on the right side and fitted with a filtered water tap.
The fridge is located below the microwave and quite a decent size fridge.
There are 3 pins power sockets available for the water kettle. Drinking bottled water is available and replenishable but suggests to refill from the water filter tap.
There is no lack of kitchenware for you to cook a feast for your family. There isn’t a need to bring your own kitchenware.
A good length working desk for you to do your work with the laptop. Hairdryer comes with a flip-up mirror, when not using can close the mirror for more space to work.
Next will be the living room with 3 seater couch and coffee table. TV is LED smart base on the website but I couldn’t mirror or screencast it. Contacted Concierge and was told can only connect with VGA cable.
The bed is king size and surprisingly, the hardness is the type that I liked and I had a very good night sleep.
Light switches and iPod docking speaker on one side table.
The remote you saw on the side table is to control the roller blinds.
In the event that your family members are watching the TV and you would like to have your sleep, the blinds will be useful to block the lights.
Telephone and writing materials on the other side table and both sides are fitted with a 3 pin socket.
The toilet is very spacious with access from the bedside and thru the walk-in wardrobe.
Toilet amenities are from Malin+Goetz, founded in New York City in 2004. After using this brand, my hair doesn’t feel dry unlike most amenities from other hotels. The peppermint smell will also linger on your hair. Does anyone know where to get this brand locally?
Wardrobe equipped with the standard kinds of stuff. Bathrobe, ironing board, iron and safe deposit box.
Swimming Pool
The swimming pool is located on level 2. The capacity of the pool is limited to 6 pax and the time slot is hourly. You can make the booking with their in-app Lola.
The pool is good for lap swim. The full length of the pool is 1.2m deep. The semi-circle is a wading pool suitable for kids to play. Directly opposite is the jacuzzi pool. Unfortunately, it was barricaded and unable to take a photo of it.
Plenty of sun-bed for those that just feel like soaking in some vitamins under the sun.
Lots of sitting areas are available too.
Gym
The gym is 24hrs operating and similar to the pool. You will need to book with Lola in-app.
The gym is well stocked with equipment
Summary
Capri Fraser is wonderful and perfect for those that prefer lesser crowds and away from the city area. As I redeem my stay with Amex voucher for this staycation, I personally will book and pay with cash shall I need a break from my busy schedule and wanted a place that is a peaceful and serene environment.
