Selfcatering, location and the design I first emailed the hotel, to make sure the price was ok for à family. Then they gaved me à very expensive price, I booked later on internett and they accepted it when I came with My family without charging more monye. I feelt that was à bit rude to try to get more, it was actually, 1500 R more they tried. Thats almost 2 nights.

We were upgraded to a suite as the hotel was not full. I loved the decor. Very upmarket and modern. We were not informed that we could have 1/2 hour of internet time for free ( we were tourists, not business travellers)

Excellent contemporary designed hotel; very large rooms with a/c and balcony. Fantastic modern bathroom, small kitchenette, sofa and large TV. Great location just across the road from Marina where all restaurants and bars can be found. Only minor issue is the hotel does not have its own bar or restaurant

Good location and facilities. Definitely recommended Room smelled of smoke. Room facilities generally good, but a very odd fetish to limit the number of bars of soap to one!

There was nothing out of the ordinary. On arrival at the Rex Hotel I was requested to settle the outstanding amount which I did and this has never happened at other hotels I stayed at. The balance would be paid when I booked out. Then when I booked out after my stay I was told that I still owe the outstanding amount. This was a bit embarrasing as the lady was adamant that I still owed. Could have been more efficient with the admin. Staff came to clean our room rather late in the day.

Location Needs some maintenance - the safe didn't work; the main sliding door to the balcony didn't lock; a cupboard in the kitchen didn't close properly. It is superficially very nice. The reception area is tired and needs a good clean. It's an expensive place to stay relatively speaking and while the room is nice, some extra focus on the little things would make it better.

The Suite was very comfortable and rlaxing and cleanliness was excellent. Dissappointing that only enough Nescafe for one cup each. We loved the fact that we could put the ca ra way and walk to the Waterfront.

Very friendly and helpful staff greeted me upon my arrival. Upgraded my standard booked room to a double........ which was fantastic of course. Took care in accompanying me to my room, ensuring that I'm familiar with where to find what.

Very upmarket, private, relaxing and very beautifull. The hotel is located very good: Walking distance to the waterfront & city centre with good rates. Real value for money and they even have rates for singles that most hotels don't offer. I liked the design of the rooms very cozy and beautifull: a mixture between hotel and a self catering unit. The rooms is very spacious. I will definately stay at the Rex hotel again. I should suggest they should install free Wi-fi for the hotel, However there was payable Wi-fi available. Some people might rather go for a hotel with free wi-fi included.

We stayed at The Rex Hotel in March 2011 which was excellent in particular, the studio rooms. Unfortunately the only thing lacking was not have a swimming pool and a bar area to have drinks in the evening.
