Hotel Rex is a cool hotel conveniently located in San Francisco. It's a great spot for out of towners, couoles who want a night away from the kids, or just hanging out in the city. The hotel is affordably-priced so you don't have to worry about getting soaked. Vetry good experience, end to end. I hearily recommend Hotel Rex. more

We stayed here as the first part of our honeymoon, and we were very impressed. Lovely honeymoon treats left in our room; strawberries, champagne & a card. Good bar with a free glass of wine every evening. Small, but clean rooms Fabulous location. TIP: Wander out of Union Square for breakfast, to avoid high prices. more

Hotel has a good location close to Union Square and public transport. We were disappointed with the size of the room and although the decor was styled 'boutique' found it to be dull and gloomy rather than vibrant and modern. (See photo of room). A friend who was also staying at the same time as us however found that the... more

Nicely decorated room, comfortable bed, WIFI, nice bar to enjoy a complimentary glass of wine. This was a really nice hotel. Location is great close to Union Square. We had a lovely dinner at Aziza a maroccan restaurant, Slanted door was also great and went for a bike ride to sausalito which was nice and then took the boat back.... more

I've stayed at this hotel several times and love it. The staff is incredibly nice and I happen to love the decor of the place- bright yellow walls, nice artwork and your room is cozy and has the SF "vibe" you expect. Great jazz selections in your room and there is a wine "happy hour" at 6pm, I believe, although... more

I am giving this four stars because it is above average for a three-star hotel. Good value steps from Union Square. The front desk staff were courteous, prompt, and gave good information. The room was small, but clean and well-decorated--we took a king-sized bed and got a room with an extra-large bathroom. Overall, just what a three-star hotel should be. more

We just got back from a four day stay at the Hotel Rex, and we had a great time. It was our first time in San Francisco, and we didn't want to stay at a chain hotel. The Hotel Rex lived up to its positive reviews, and we certainly weren't disappointed. The staff is wonderful at the hotel! We were... more

We are a family of 4 (2 girls 7 & 9). We were booked there for a wedding (everyone from outside SF stayed there) but I wished I was in another hotel. It's expensive for what it is. The rooms are so so. The walls were covered with ugly grand dad type pictures with cheap cheap gold frames that didn't... more
