Like other reviewers we were a little apprehensive, as some reviews were negative. The Rex is a 400 year old building, and there are limits to what can be achieved in an old building. + Location - 10 minute walk to almost all of 'old Florence' + Cleanliness + Friendly Staff + Much quieter now that the windows are double... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in July 2005. The hotel was very close to the train station, so we found the hotel easily by foot. The rooms were small, with a tiny bathroom. The shower flooded the bathroom easily, so bath-slippers were needed. The view from the window was a dirty alley, and provided no light for... more

We selected Hotel Rex mainly for the good rate and location in proximity to the train station. After confirming our rate a few weeks prior, we arrived at the hotel and checked in. The accommodations were a bit dismal - our room was tiny and needed some cleaning. The TV did not work and the shower flooded the bathroom. But... more

Cute little hotel right in the centre of things... you are minutes walk from the Duomo and all of Florence's major attractions. In addition the street market of San Lorenzo is just round the corner (don't buy any leather items here as I saw one of the traders spray a jacket with some leather smelling perfume). I liked the Rex... more

We were anxious about staying here after reading some reviews on this website, and it's true that this place takes some getting used to. But the rooms were clean, and the beds very comfortable. And the location really is excellent: you can get to so many important sites in just a few minutes. By the way, although some have complained... more

for only 70 euro a double room per night (including a moderate continental buffet breakfast) the Rex is excellent value for money. The location next to the bustling street market of San Lorenzo is ideal for those who want to be in the middle of the historical centre of Florence (the Duomo and Giotto's Belltower are only 3 minutes walk... more

Hotel Rex is next to St. Lorenzo Church, and 2 min. walking from Duomo. We spent there 2 nights. The room was clean and the breakfast buffet was O.K. The staff was nice. You have a parking(20€/day) close to the hotel. more

The room was very small and in desperate need of decoration however if you looked passed the peeling wallpaper and dislodged ceiling tiles it was as clean as possible. The bathroom was again small, required decoration however clean. No power shower but the mains powered shower did the job. I can understand why the other reports on this hotel are... more

What can i say about this sewer? The only thing i happy about that we stayed in this place only 4 nights. This place highly NOT recommended for visitors. Service is BAD, rooms are old and dirty. Save your money and stay away from this sewer. I really don't understand who can give 3* for this .... Sorry for abnormal... more
