We spent 8 wonderful days in San Francisco and at the Rex Hotel. The location was in a safe area, and very convenient, which made it easy to get around using public transportation. We rented a car for a day, and it costs almost as much to park the car, as it did to rent the car per day (almost... more

Lovely!

I just stayed at the Hotel Rex for 2 nights/3 days and it was great! The staff is super friendly and really accommodating - we ended up doing a late check out and staying for most of the day on our last day there, at the last minute, and it was no problem. The rooms are nice, clean, and come... more

Stayed three nights with with my husband to celebrate our honeymoon. Our only request was quiet room. Room was very small, hot and stuffy. A/C did not work and had to open window which resulted in tons of street noise. I barely slept a wink due to noise. Location was good. Evening wine reception was nice. Room/bathroom was subpar due... more

I stayed at the Hotel Rex this last Saturday and was very impressed! It was in the perfect location to Union Square, close to shopping and restaurants. It's also very easy to access from the Bay Bridge! The hotel staff was great and very accomodating. We had the executive king room which was perfect! I will definitely be returtning to... more

Great price with all the necessities that a business traveller needs. The location is excellent and the restaurant attached to the restaurant provides a 'better than average" breakfast for a cheaper price than a large hotel chain more

The Rex is something a bit different as befits San Francisco. Great location, very good hotel, well run and interesting rooms. Very good value. Our only complaint was the lack of Max the pug - he was absent our entire trip. more

Great location and very close to union square! Every staff member that helped me offered me nothing less than top grade professional service! My girlfriend and I were blown away by the classy and fresh feel that Hotel Rex offered with the style of our room and with the way their reception, lounge and restaurant were decorated and presented. We... more

Perfectly lovely. Excellent staff, art deco styling, close to everything & all at nearly bargain pricing. We typically select hotels based upon luxury as well as cost. We believe these criteria to not be mutually exclusive and the Hotel Rex delivers. more

We got a crazy good deal for two nights at this hotel, and no way would I spend $150 or more a night to stay here. I am unfamiliar with quirky old hotels in this town. I did read the bit about the $$$ renovation, it does appear to be clean, there is a flat panel TV with a smattering... more
