We stayed in a sauna room which has a sauna off the shower which was something different to use. The room was very large and comfortable. It is an easy walking distance to Lonsdale street which has many restaurants. There is a lovely rooftop restaurant at the hotel and easy car parking facilities. The premises were clean and staff friendly.

No where to park securely. Paid for three rooms and was told find your own parking somewhere. Terrible service as far as parking goes. Rang room service as we needed a wine glass in the room. Was told yes we have one, come down to reception and pick it up. Huh! I thought it said room service. Lady at the front counter was lovely Chimi or similar, but her male counterpart was rather rude. Rooms were nice but unless they do something about the parking I'll go somewhere else. Also old mate at the front corner with the fashionable eyebrows needs and attitude adjustment.

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.
