Let me start with check in - due to airline schedules, I needed to fly into SFO early. I went to check in at 7:30AM, expecting that they would take my luggage and I would hang out in the business center for the five hours prior to the start of my conference. Without hesitation the staff offered me an early... More

After hiking up the hill from the Powell Street BART station, we were greeted by two happy and helpful people. They arranged a reservation for dinner and checked us in. The room is small but has everything one would need. The location is great for shopping and eating in the Union Square area. A free glass of wine is offered... More

I'm not sure why this hotel is so highly rated by others. It is clean, the bed was very comfortable, we had the feather pillows we had requested, the room was quiet and the staff did their best to be very helpful and friendly but that is about where it ends. The hotel has been refurbished by the application of... More

I recently took a group of 20 plus high school students to SF for several days and we stayed here. Including faculty we had 27 traveling and Hotel Rex was wonderfully organized and welcoming. Many hotels of this size balk at high schoolers but the Rex could not have been better. They treated the students respectfully, were very helpful with... More

We arrived early before our check in time and they gave us a great room, up graded to a larger room, what service!!. We had a wonderful stay, everyone was so nice and friendly. Our room was comfortable, quiet, clean and nicely decorated. If you want a quiet dinner without going far, we recommend their Library. Food was excellent and... More

My one night stay at Hotel Rex was perfect, and I will choose this hotel as my lodging from now on. The staff are very gracious and helpful, and they accept pets without blinking an eye (the pet policy that you sign is reasonable, and there is no extra fee). The rooms are very attractive, with good beds, a fridge,... More

The corporation I work for offer the choice of various hotels when visitng the city and I have stayed at a few, however I find the Rex's old world charm and character too hard to beat. Walking into a big busy lobby like any big hotel anywhere in the world offers little in 'feeling like you're at home'. The Rex... More

The whole experience was brilliant. From the warm and wonderful service to the Pug wandering through the Living Room. The Monday night Film in the Library was brilliant and the overall look, feel, decor fantastic. Loved its history too and enjoyed wandering through the study area looking at the old Writers' relics. Would definitely come back again.

I found this hotel by accident a couple of years ago. Wanted to be near Union Square, but all of my regular choices (Sir Frances Drake, The Clift, Campton Place)were booked, and I was also trying to spend less while there. The Rex is a trip- both as an experience, and also as in "back in time". It's very artfully... More
