Spectacular on all fronts.

Absolutely amazing. I will be going back to this hotel. We stayed in the sauna king room and we were expecting an average room, but what we got was one of the top 3 hotels I have ever stayed in.

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable beds and nice room facilities. Helpful staff and booking processes. Some guest noise from children but mainly quiet. Restful stay. Parking on site limited at times but light rail across the road is a good option for north of the lake city visits.

I had a plesant stay, Its was an easy walk to Braddon shops and Canberra Centre. The pool was good for laps. The gym was ok. Both were open 6am-10pm Parking was full, however street parking is ok on weekends.

Great stay close to everything . Minor issue, showers good have a bigger shower head. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Beds were great. Staff over the weekend especially were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend
Tereza, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A simple fix for this one smelly issue

The staff at the Rex are simply wonderful. It's my first choice for Canberra accommodation and feels like a home away from home. My only real gripe is with the overpowering deodorising scent that is pumped out in the public spaces. It's an unnecessary use of chemicals (unless it's covering something?), headache producing and not great for folk who are scent sensitive. Please, please remove it or at least, dial it right back. It was coming into my room by the end of my stay.
Caro, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Property was well maintained. Staff very helpful
Peta, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great Weekend.

We stayed in a balcony suite that was roomy and with a large window/door offering a great view. The bathroom was huge with a large walk in shower but a pokey little counter top/basin, (no room for anything). The bed was very comfortable and the linens were new and clean. In our room th A/C unit was clean, but very noisy so we didn't run it at night. Thanks for the complimentary drink on Level 6. We also enjoyed one full breakfast in the restaurant and one take away breakfast roll and coffee, both were tasty and hot. It has been five years since we were here last and it is great to see all the renovations are done.

Rosita, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I can honestly say ive not stayed at a hotel where i would come back purely for the hotel experience here in Canberra, until now! I will come back for sure! It was so easy to get to places and navigate the hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was so clean and neat and had all the amenities needed. Thanks for a great weekend!
Marie, 1-night trip

Stayed here multiple times. Still feel that it's the best value for money place. Very conveniently located, close to plenty of restaurants and the city centre.
