We stayed at the Rex for 2nights when visiting the garden route in a family room / apartment. It is in a great spot near the centre of Knysna with everything in walking distance. The rooms are spacious, clean and modern. The only strange things are the internal windows to the corridor which mean that the rooms are quite light... More

The accommodation we had booked was terrible, the following morning we went for a walk and by accident we came across the Rex.

Great place to stay but hard to find as signage was not obvious. Really close to the waterfront and all sorts of different types of bars and restaurants. Room was huge with a big balcony and lounge room. Bathroom was different as it was in the bedroom but worked well.Would stay here again

Great place to stay on the Garden Route. Wonderful attention to details in the rooms. The bathrooms are amazing among the best I can remember anywhere. It was a suite which is always nice and an easy walk to the waterfront.

unbelievable spacious suite friendly service great location beautifully furnished walking distance to waterfront

World class furnishings and fittings. The location is right on the waterfront. Although the hotel doesn't have any restaurant of its own, it has tie... More

I am guessing that before the economy crashed, The Rex was designed as condos. Our room was gorgeous, clean and HUGE. We had a large living room (complete with a flat screen TV, DVD player, and nice sound system), stocked kitchen (stove, large fridge, pots, plates, cups), large deck, and a beautiful room with a free-standing bathtub, king bed and...
