The Rex Hotel  

We loved this hotel. It was wonderfully located and beautifully decorated. Spacious, Comfortable, practical & lovely. We were very pleased with it in every way. Free parking, well located, safe. The hotel staff were helpful & friendly, and we even received a rose &box of chocolates for valentines. A lovely touch. Breakfast at the plaza downstairs was delightful, as were the lovely shops. The waterfront was merely 2 blocks away, and a convenient laundry mat, was helpfully pointed out by the hotel staff a block away. I would totally recommend this hotel and would love to stay there again. Also it was very logically priced.

Very modern and immaculate apartment with 2 bedrooms, each with modern en suite facilities well equipped kitchen and very comfortable lounge area. Located between the waterfront and the main shopping street - brilliant!

We thought the gym facilities were very small and, as we arrived on a saturday lunchtime, closed five minutes after we checked in

I loved the styling of our Luxury apartment. Facilites and location of the Rex Hotel is fantastic. The staff were extremely efficient and friendly. Pity we weren't staying longer

The rooms are spacious, luminous and elegantly furnished. We loved the patio, the hotel breakfast room and the shops around the hotel.

We would have liked to have some view of the sea or at least the waterfront (we were in room 105). The apartment had an empty fridge. It would have been nice to have at least a few bottles of mineral water and drinks in the fridge - and better coffee (we hate instant coffee - taste like poison). An iron and ironing board would have been good to have...

Well located centrally in Knysna. Close to all the convienences. Rooms large and confortable. Accommodating late arrival with 24hr reception

Hallway lights are switched off late at night and shine into the room making it difficult to sleep early. I suggest some blinds.

I was really impressed with our spacious and well appointed apartment (we booked a large two bedroom). Turn down service and daily cleaning/towel change meant we had the flexibility, space and comfort of an apartment with the service expected of a hotel. By the standard of the room and the design I would rate this 5star. A lovely bakery downstairs and great restaurants on the doorstep at the waterfront in Knysna mean you don't miss out on having a restaurant available all day.

We booked a standard double but were upgraded to a luxury king suite which was absolutely amazing!!!! The room had a fantastic view of the city and the lagoon. It had a huge balcony and was generally very nicely designed. It was a short walk to the waterfront and a 5 minute drive to Thesan Island. We were also very pleasantly surprised that they provided turndown service. Top marks for this hotel and we'd definitely stay here again if we return to knysna!

The room and facilities were excellent. There was most facilities one would need and the elocation of hotel was very convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful and I felt vey comfortable and relaxed.

The rooms were spacious, very nice and well decorated

No gym or swimming pool facilities, and the breakfast is very expensive at R95 per person

Very Spacious room. Large balcony facing waterfront. Too bad only 3 storey building so cant appreciate the view. Lcd tv is equipped with mini home sound system. It is entertaining if you bring along a dvd

Housekeeping staff enter my room after seeing me driving away with my bags without checking out the room. I was out to breakfast. Lighting at reception need to improve where it looks dark even in the morning

Beautiful, modern, comfortable, well-appointed room/suite. Breakfast available nearby at excellent, friendly 'smart' cafe, with speciality breads. Popular with the locals. Our room had a lovely outlook.

No proper space in the shower room for two sponge bags!!

The location of the hotel, facilities in the rooms, size, decor and ambiance of accommodation all excellent.

Bathroom a little too minimal - there was nowhere to hang towels / flannels / soap etc while in the shower Bathrooms also lacked privacy Breakfast at adjacent cafe disappointing but other places easily found nearby
