Pros:

Прекрасный отель. Расположен почти в центре. сначали дали комнату для курящих, но по просьбе поменяли. Отель расположен в историческом здании. Очень удобно адаптирован под отель. везде чистота. В номере у нас был лепной потолок, что добавило атмосферу. И главное преимущество - паркинг. Нам все понравилось. Завтрака нет, но при заселении предлагают фрукты.

Pros:

The personal is superb, very very helpful, and always ready to help. The building itself is mesmerising and beautiful, as well as the rooms, especially the ceiling. I think this old school design is definitely something worth paying a bit extra. The bedding and towels were changed daily. It is also not that far from certain tourist sites

Cons:

Rooms could be cleaner, there was some visible dust in the corners. The breakfast was quite poor, and not really worth paying for. Rooms require some refreshment, if not a complete renovation. I understand, that the building is quite old, and it is hard to place a bathroom anywhere else, but the way it was placed, made it very loud for the rest of the room, and since there is no ventilation, you leave the bathroom with humidity and quite steamy. Also, the area was quite sketchy at night, but otherwise quite peaceful.

Muito bom
Pros:

O quarto é bom, mas não muito grande, o hotel é bem bonito inclusive o quarto, ótima localização, próximo caminhando de boa parte das atrações turísticas, café da manhã bom, mas simples.

Cons:

Café da manhã simples, como ficamos 4 noites era servido a mesma coisa todos os dias, podia ter um ou dois itens diversificados.

Great hotel; won't hesitate to stay again when we return
Pros:

The Rex Hotel is located just outside of the busy city centre but that's the attraction. Choice of Metro stations close by - Lapa for the airport or coast; downhill to Trindade for links everywhere, but used Faria Guimaraes to get back to avoid that last hill walk after a long day.
Very happy with the room, top floor with terrace. The hotel is traditional which makes it attractive, with spacious rooms and good modern facilities. Breakfast was fresh, good quality with plenty of variation. Friendly staff; 24 hour access.

Cons:

Nothing to mention; didn't experience any of the noise issues others experienced (unless you count the traffic at certain times) nor the locals/location.
