The staff were very friendly and helpful, they didn’t hesitate when I said my child was sick and we needed to extend our check out time. They also helped a lot with refilling our water bottles from their filtered tap, heated up our meals, gave information about tram etc.

The room is slightly old style and the drainage of the sink was almost blocked ( I think the cleaner should be aware of this as they clean it everyday, so they should fix it before the customers come). The breakfast charged $28 pp but with very limited choices, good thing is the coffee was made by the staff freshly. The tv is not a smart tv which can’t connect to YouTube.

The Rex is in a good location for exploring Canberra. Lots of nice bars and restaurants in walking distance too. The room looked as if it had recently been refreshed, as everything looked new and modern. It was fresh and clean, quiet and comfortable. The bathroom had a nice collection of products and the shower was great. The view from the rooftop bar is lovely and a nice place to have a drink.There is some onsite parking, which we were lucky enough to get. Attentive, friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. I would stay here again.

I know it is reflected in the price of the room but I did miss the convenience of having a kettle, tea and coffee in the room.

Location is amazing. Staff were brilliant. The roof top bar and cocktail bar are wonderful. The cocktails and the food. Fantastic! The Eclipse cocktail…. 1 was Not enough. The rooms were super comfy with phenomenal water pressure.

Lack of parking is an issue. Was told couldn’t reserve parking… apparently you can. Only other thing I found wrong was this noise we could hear in our room. Every 5 mins it sounded like an electrical transformer was about to go pop.

Good sized room with comfortable king bed, large screen TV, free WiFi and a heated indoor pool and gym. Staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant for breakfast and dinner although we preferred to eat out.

Had to go out the front door and round the side to get to the building with the pool. Onsite parking is challenging when getting back to the hotel at night after dinner, but always found on street parking a short walk away. Shower fluctuated with hot and slightly cool water, but was still comfortable.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The BEST pillow ever (30% goose down). I tried to buy one but sadly, they said they had none for sale. The room service menu, although very limited (who doesn't have at least one soup on the menu?), was fresh and tasty with generous serves. The big breakfast included 3 poached eggs!

It was a big push to get Mum from the accessibility parking underneath up the steep drive. The carpet leading to the bathroom had a hump in it. The furniture (black) was showing signs of age. Maybe some touch up paint could make it feel less run down. Unfortunately, there was a function downstairs the night we were there, which was very noisy. Next morning , I had occasion to use the public bathroom around the corner from reception and needed to alert them to the fact that two of the three basins were covered in vomit. Reception immediately informed the cleaner. It might be wise practice to always check the restrooms near the function rooms. It wasn't super early either... after 7.30am.

Excellent location around 10 minute to local restaurants and 25-40 minute walk / 5-10 minute drive to the city and attractions. Hotel manager very helpful and offered to store our bikes in the hotel for added security.

Room allowed noise from the hallway to enter and out room was above the main bins so even on public holiday, they were collected at 6am. Parking is limited during very busy periods so we left the car and walked / used public transport to ensure car parking on site.

Canberra Rex Hotel is located just a couple tram stops away from central Canberra where the city's main shopping mall and nightlife are located. The rooms are fine but the Wi-Fi, at least on the third floor where I stayed, was terrible. I notified the front desk, and they did give me the password for a different network, but this didn't help and so I was forced to use data on my phone to access the internet. In 2024, bad Wi-Fi at a business-style hotel just doesn't make any sense. Otherwise, everything was good and the hotel is perfectly adequate for a short stay.

It was very quiet and comfortable. Car park was easy to access outside. Staff were friendly

Buffet breakfast was very poor. We went down at 8.00am and there was no bacon or scrambled eggs. One pastry left half bowl yogurt with almost no fresh fruit left. One cereal bowl was empty. We waited for ages and nobody topped up the cold section. My husband had hot breakfast and it was not very hot and had to wait for bacon and when it did come out it was not enough for everyone. I had just cold and no fruit and no pastries. Very disappointing. I complained to reception when leaving but they still charged us for our breakfasts. We would not pay extra for a buffet breakfast again.

The staff on site were incredibly accommodating, even providing a list of handpicked restaurants and cafes worth visiting whilst staying. Rooms were spacious and clean with decent views into the nearby Haig Park.

The buffet breakfast selection was quite limited and perhaps slightly overpriced given this. Furthermore, parking is very limited on site and seems to be frequently taken by restaurant guests and others rather than hotel guests.

The room was very clean, comfortable and quiet. There were events taking place at the hotel but the noise didn’t bother us. The room was completely sound proof.

Limited parking available. Guest are unable to secure parking in advance. This was a concern as we were traveling from Sydney to attend an engagement party held at the Rex Hotel. However, once checked in the Concierge found us a car parking space during our stay.
