Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were immaculate and spacious, with exceptionally comfortable beds that made for a restful stay. In-room services were prompt and efficient, adding to the overall comfort. The breakfast spread was quite good, offering a satisfying start to the day. The location is superb—centrally positioned and highly convenient for getting around. The heated pool was a wonderful touch, and the gym facilities, while basic, were sufficient for a decent workout. The only drawback is the parking situation—if you're bringing a car, be prepared, as finding a spot can be extremely difficult and largely a matter of luck.

Both night staff and day staff were super friendly and helpful. Even the security guard was nice. Bathroom and toilet are clean and very new and modern. Bed was comfy and very spacious room. There are USB outlets on the wall sockets for charging. There are free on-site parking but very limited numbers.

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.

An upmarket hotel, everything was immaculate. Plenty of space in the room, bed was one of the best I have slept in for some time. Not a fault with their room service - quick in response, and fantastic food quality. The only things letting this hotel down, was as a traveler, it was difficult to unpack my luggage and to get it inside to my room, and the parking was minimal on the side of the hotel. Also, a hotel of this quality should have by now, upgraded their TV services to include streaming options rather than just the local TV networks.

This isnt even a hard one for me to review - 5 stars all the way. Great desk service, nice room, perfect bathroom, easy parking (access from two streets!)... the only thing I could fault is the toilet paper. This will be my regular Canberra accommodation going forward.
