Clean quiet and comfortable at a reasonable price
Requested a quiet room to get some work and study done. The team were lovely and accomodating and found me just what I needed. Room was very clean although the carpet was a bit worn. Gym and pool were in reasonable condition especially the cardio equipment.
Braddon restaurants and the city a short walk away and a tram stop was close by.
Would definitely recommend and stay again.

The smiles at reception said it all.
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the Rex. The conversation and smiles at reception bode well for a positive stay. Assistance with parking was wonderful.
It was comfortable (although the beds are firmer than we are used to) and the room was clean.
I really appreciated the pool.
Perhaps considering reducing/removing the small plastic toiletries would be a small improvement.
