    We enjoyed the location. We enjoyed the jazz club and restaurant food was a little overpriced but location was great.

    Window was open when we came in no screen. Share bathroom. TV was too small.

    I like that it was close to Union Station and we enjoyed the jazz club

    The room was quite small, but it was expected. They designed it well with smaller furniture to utilize the small space. No complains.

    The location is very good- close to the Nathan Philip square, Union station, many food places and other facilities. The room had all the amenities it mentioned.

    The share showers were a bit grotty.

    A very serviceable simple hotel in a great location with a wonderful jazz bar right downstairs. The room was comfortable and well-priced (comparatively).

    small room but for the price is ok..location is close to downtown. But the only problem is no elevator if you have heavy luggage...for just a place to sleep not paying arm n a leg is fine.

    A little old but overall okay.

    Have Jazz and blues live music. Just opposite to this tasty Japanese ramen to die for - Ikkousha Ramen place. Overall good for short stay while on day tours. No en-suite bathroom but have washing basin for facial n toothbrush.

    Can't believe breakfast doesn't get served til 9.30am! That's too late for many people! I don't think I missed much though they said it was just tea coffee and toast... And it's very expensive, but I appreciate this is the area, not the fault of the hotel.

    Comfortable bed, clean, warm, quiet.

    I've been to the Rex many times for music and was glad to finally stay overnight. It was exactly what we wanted from a hotel room to sleep in after going to a concert.

    The windows are very thin and the noise and smell from the street is loud and strong. Blankets were just provided with a sheet.

    We could store the luggage after check out. The room was clean but not comfy.

    All things considered, complaining would be silly.

    Couple flights of stairs up to the room but staff managed the suitcases - always smiling. Breakfast was really good and good value. A little cramped in the room and bathroom but super value. Location perfect. Will book again for next year.
