Booked the king suite. The photo looked better on the website than the actual room. Nothing special but nothing outstanding. Very average.

From staff to rooms to comfort to clean to food to coffee everything was really bad and we couldn’t sleep because of the bed it’s very very uncomfortable we also had the royal suit as you can see in photos ! I just wasted my money and bad experience and ruined my trip
The rooms are dirty !!!! Like really dirty and the toilet is so disgusting dirty and smelly .

Parking is hard. Also driving in and out of the hotel is hard with heavy traffic. Good for professional meetings and private parties.

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...

A part of the Canberra landscape! Newly refurbished and looking great. There's a rooftop bar that's all kinds of cool. Awesome and helpful staff full of that Canberra Pride. Love my home town!

Mostly this hotel is perfect. The staff are very prompt and mostly very courteous. There is one problem, no parking especially on Friday and Saturday night when there is a wedding function. I'm a regular customer but no one cares. Start looking for new hotel I guess.

I wouldn’t be going for breakfast here if you have to be somewhere within 90 mins. Service was dreadfully slow. Not even a busy room- all table service for cooked breakfasts. Then when food arrived it arrived in dribs and drabs. Including a 30 min wait from first to last person served.

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.

The ‘Howling Moon’ rooftop bar serves yummy food and cocktails and is new, the rooms have been renovated and the gym and pool were nice.
Staff were friendly and accomodation was very affordable for what you receive.

Very happy with accomodation though perhaps some plates and cutlery would come in handy. Otherwise cannot fault the friendly staff always willing to help. Will definitely stay here again
