Fantastic service. The roof top bar was great and very reasonable prices.
Breakfast option of buffet or a coffee and egg and bacon roll to takeaway was excellent.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
