KatherineUnited KingdomNice hotel, friendly staff, good location but poor sleep due to constant noise
Location and the bistro was lovely.
The room was small and there was a constant fan noise across our floor through the night which made it hard to sleep.

CalvynSouth AfricaIt was a bliss, next time we’ll come for a week and not just a weekend
I like the scenery and the restaurant, too notch
The showers water flow was a bit weak but that’s due to the bathroom design. Otherwise everything was great.

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does aha The Rex Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does aha The Rex Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at aha The Rex Hotel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book aha The Rex Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
