Great hotel with excellent staff.
Second time stayed here, both times in the king suite and with family.
Room is amazing with very comfortable beds and all amenities you could need.
The additional separate toilet is very handy with kids. Very clean rooms and entire hotel.
They also have a well equipped gym and indoor pool

I wouldn't recommend to anyone. An asthmatic nightmare for my husband. The air-conditioner was filthy and makes me very concerned about the cleanliness of the rest of the room. There was a very strong smell of cigarettes in the bathroom which is a shame as we got the spa suite. There's just got to be better places to stay in Canberra...

I probably wouldn’t stay here again. I expected a lot better for the price. I could have booked at hotel realm for similar price but thought I’d try the Rex hotel. The bed was comfy but that’s all I can really say that was good. I understand the cards control the electricity but the room was freezing when we arrived and took a while to warm up. It was a very small room. Definitely not the best place. Also a door in our room is for the room next door, I understand it was locked but didn’t feel comfortable at all.
