Nightcap at Rex Hotel

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

Property is nice and modern with a neat tidy layout. No real interaction with staff as the reception desk is only available on check-in via a call to someone to come check you in, then no one for the rest of our 2 night stay. There was a big problem however with german cockroaches which really put me off so I likely wont be back unfortunately.

I absolutely loved my stay. Highly rated. Nothing fancy and frilly but perfect for what I was after. Close enough to everything and a fantastic price. Very friendly and helpful staff. Check in and check out were a breeze.

Clean and appropriate for my needs. Was sorry there was no breakfast
