The location is perfect: few minutes walk from Santa Maria Novella station and the center of the city. Clean and large enough room and bathroom even if some tiles were broken. Breakfast included was good enough: could be better if served with a "smile" on the face of the waitress. WiFi connection was free but available just in the lobby.... More

Hotel Rex was very centrally located. You can walk to the duomo in about 10 minutes. The hotel was very clean and the staff was friendly. The room was very nice. Bed was super comfortable. GOod water pressure in the shower and lots of hot water! We had some trouble with the toilet not wanting to flush but we eventually... More

We had a very good stay at the Hotel Rex. The location was great. Good breakfast. The staff was very helpful and responsive to requests. We were four in a quad which was a bit small but we managed. I would rate it a good overall value and would recommend it. More

The hotel was clean and staff extremely helpful and friendly. Location was a great plus. Not a bad place at all to stay while visiting Florence. I would certainly this for the price also. The breakfast was a bit scarce and could use some improvement. Overall, I would recommend the Hotel Rex. More

We always stay at the Rex when we are in Florence because it is right where it's at, in the middle of the city, in a street that is the "real" Florence with wonderful authentic restaurants and friendly Florentine people. Michelangelo's masterpieces are just round the corner and so is the fantastic food market. The hotel isn't plastic or bland... More

We picked Rex because it is close to the train station and at the same time close to a lot of places we'd visit. More

The hotel is old and rooms rather dated. However it was clean enough, and the location cannot be beat. It is VERY central to all you could wish to see in Florence. Easy walking access to the SMN Train station and the price was right. The staff were very helpful, and polite. Would stay here again. More

We picked Rex because it is close to the train station and at the same time close to a lot of places we'd visit. And to what that concerns we weren't disappointed. A bit of walk and there was the Duomo, and then the Palazzo Vecchio and then the Galleria Uffizi and Galleria della Academia and Ponte Vecchio. It's a... More

Think of this a as a cross between a very old Motel 6 in a good location. The staff speaks English, the rooms speak of antiquity, and only your wallet will thank you. If you have lots of luggage and cannot walk 100 feet, forget about it. There are no cars allowed on the street in front of the hotel... More
