The Amrise is an older building but has been nicely renovated, with strong air conditioning in all the rooms (although the ones facing Sims Avenue are a bit noisy). Some rooms have stronger WiFi reception than others. A profusion of CCTV cameras all through the building ensures security for guest. There is no coffee shop and not much of a lobby but that doesn't matter because of all the cool places to lounge around in nearby. Parks, swimming pool and the excellent Geylang Library not too far away. Reviewers whining about 'rude reception' should wake up and realize (a) you're not staying in a glamorous five-star, sweetly, and (b) this is Singapore, where daily human interaction tends to be brusque and often robotic. The front staff is efficient and they will watch after your bags after you check out, if you want to run around before going to the Airport.
