Well located place in Union Square. Around the corner from the rental car place, so that's convenient. Arts-themed (literary quotes on the walls plus they donate $1 of your stay to 826 Valencia writing center), nicely decorated, nice, clean rooms. Their restaurant seemed too expensive, so we went to Persimmon just a a couple of doors down and it was... more

The Hotel Rex, formerly known as the Orchard, is the only place I stay when I visit San Francisco! It is a great european-style hotel, made so by the friendly, attentive and courteous staff, the cleanliness of the hotel, and the convenience of the location to everything one must see and do in the city. After I found this hotel... more

We've just returned after a 2 nt stay at the Rex...althought the staff were efficient and courteous...the rooms are very small and somewhat noisy due to street noise and window air-conditioners. It is centrally located to shopping and Union Square...but lacking in amenities. more

Excellent location, right alongside Union Square. Above all, the manager and staff were excellent and very very helpful. The manager in particular helped us out big time and we appreciated the help. Price versus Location, you couldn't get better. The restaurant served a wonderful breakfast, the food was lovely. Also, what was nice was the glass of wine we got... more

What a lovely comfortable Hotel.. We were greeted by Max the dog as we entered. The lounge lobby is very comfortable and "artsy". The location couldn't be better. We loved the helpful staff and the complimentary glass of wine in the evening. We'll be back! more

Hotel Rex is a smallish hotel close to Union Square. What can I say about it? - It was OK, we didn't hate it but wouldn't bother to go back. For some reason, when we checked in, we were told we had been upgraded to a better room - I've no idea why, but we didn't complain. Our room was... more

The Rex was the perfect hotel to enjoy our romantic anniversary . The staff as described in previous reviews were truly excellent. A special room had been selected for us, there was Jazz music playing when we entered the room and a gift with card waiting for us to acknowledge our celebration. This hotel is full of character, with individual... more

I travel to San Francisco quite frequently from the East Coast and had typically been one of those "Check the Grand Hyatt First" people. I stumbled upon Hotel Rex last year and now that my travels take me to the city quite often, Hotel Rex has become my hotel of choice. The staff is exceedingly accomodating, friendly, and at your... more
