Nightcap at Rex Hotel Reviews

What a nice place to stay! Very clean and comfortable rooms. Bus stop across the street takes you right into CBD in about 15 minutes. Bar and restaurant on premises with ample parking. Terri at reception was a wonderful font of tourist information.

The hotel was pleasant, clean, and easy to get to. The location is close to many destinations in and around Adelaide, including the airport and a reasonable shopping centre with cafes and major retailers within a 1.5km walk. There was plenty of parking in good sized spaces. I booked a basic, single room and got exactly what I expected. It was basic but clean and had a fridge, kettle, and single bed. There was a small armchair but no table although the kettle/fridge cupboard had a pull out tray which I could have used but this was a little dirty so I just sat on the bed to eat. They have a bistro which looked good (25% discount for house guests with dine in or delivery to your room) and offered regular pub menu options but I ended up walking a couple hundred metres down the road to the local takeaway shops for some Thai takeaway. The only complaints I really have are regarding noise, that the walls are quite thin and you could hear the other rooms' doors closing very loudly as people came and went. The next door neighbour listened to their TV at full volume until about 1:30am (I was due for a 6am start and this didn't help!).... Not the hotel's fault, just them being a selfish douchebag. The bar fridge rattled away fairly constantly but I just turned it off until the morning. The worst problem were the pillows though. They were like bricks; thin and extremely hard. I ended up putting the decorative cushion inside a pillow case and using that just to be able to have some padding. I drove only a few minutes around the corner to the famous Cafe de Villi's for breakfast before continuing on my way. All said and done, I would stay here again as it is very budget friendly yet so close to everything. But I will bring my own pillow.... and earplugs just in case!

Wonder hotel room, cheaper too

A small and compact business hotel, halfway between the city and the airport. The transportation is quite convenient. The bed is very comfortable and the water pressure in the bathroom is very strong. I will stay here again next time I have the opportunity. Highly recommended!

The room is clean and tidy, the staff is friendly, and the hotel is cost-effective

The hotel is generally clean and close to the city center. There are restaurants outside the hotel.

The receptionist was kind, and when I told him that I couldn't speak English, he explained step by step. The room was comfortable as well.

very old very poor not recommended ................................................ .

The Rex hotel is a low budget option for travellers on any overland trains from Parklands Station 1.5 km away. Our room on the first floor smelt of cigarettes and had rubbish under the bed. The picture on their website is not what to expect. The staff on reception were polite and helpful.

It is a basic hotel the room size is small,the power point in the bathroom is hidden ,the place needs upgrading. It was annoying that the toilet near the reception area door slammed shut every time a patron from the gaming area used it this went on until 2 in the morning. Made for broken sleep , would I stay there again probably not.
