Check in was a breeze and the receptionist very helpful. The room was very nice. Went out for the afternoon and when we got back, circled through the carpark twice. No spots available. Asked at reception where hotel guests park and was told that we would have to park across the road in some dodgy open carpark. It seems the hotel has no dedicated parking available for guests and its a scramble between guests and people at the hotel for a drink. Then when we had walked back to the hotel and went to Level 6 for a drink, I stood at the bar like an idiot for what seemed an age whilst being studiously ignored by the bar staff who were too busy moving glasses to actually make eye contact and perhaps say "I'll be with you shortly". I was about to ask the security guy standing next to the bar if he could serve me when a girl rushed up from somewhere and served me. I get that bar staff can be busy but the lack of manners was breathtaking. In the morning, we went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. Except there wasn't any. The trays were empty, there were no plates, cutlery etc. Not sure what was going on, but people were standing about looking lost wondering when/if any food was to arrive. In short, for the money you pay to stay at the Rex, you can do a lot better.

Off street parking was really good. Plenty of room. Our function area was very large and easily accomodated over 200 people. Beer was cold.

Nice facility, food, and service for events. Parking is scarce. Rooftop bar is also lots of fun.

The worst Hotel ever,
We asked the reception for bath room sandal but they were out of them. Very poor breakfast with almost nothing in there, out of orange juice, cheese and bread at 8:30 in the morning, No parking space because of an event which was not announced before the booking. As soon as we made the booking we got an email about that horror event. Never go back again. Rooms and bathrooms are much smaller than advertised.
Old windows so you will wake up very early because of noisy birds...

I was there for a conference.Tidy, comfortable and high standard room and service. All Staff are very polite, professional and brilliant. The food was amazing including buffet breakfast. Definitely going back and highly recommended

The hotel is quite new. Room is a bit small, but clean and tidy. Friendly service. Good breakfast.

How can I write a good review to a hotel that asks you to wait for your room to be prepared/made up and then forgets about you and leaves you waiting for half the afternoon? Most disappointed! Left and ignored.... Till so tired asked how much longer only to discover that i was forgotten, not what I expect from a 4* hotel.

Great room loved the spa. The staff were really good. Very helpful

Rooms were average for the price. Beds were very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. The best I've ever had. I will stsy here again.

Very nice hotel, with fresh and modern facilities. The only downside we had was listening to the alarms of the room next door for an hour every morning. The room also did not support any form of in room cooking, except coffee - forcing us to eat out for every meal. All in all, was a pleasant stay

This was a decent conference venue, except for the lack of parking. This is a significant factor for a conference with many attendees, starting first thing in the morning. Rooms, sound, amenities, facilities, and catering were all good.

Has improved dramatically over the years. Nice vibe and will be great once the roof top bar is open. Parking is terrible

Great service and nice interior design. One of the most comfortable beds I've had in a long time. You can see that it's an older building once you have a look at the windows. Would go there again.

Absolutely amazing. Friendly helpful staff. Very clean stylish rooms , grab the breakfast deal as it was delicious.
We stayed in a master suite two tvs two split systems balcony huge shower very modern. Its Within the city centre so all the attractions of canberra are close by.
