I was originally booked into the Hotel San Giorgio (apparently under the same management) but was told (not asked) on arrival to check into the Rex instead. The location is fine, very central but still quiet. However, my room was dark, smelled very musty and all the furnishings and fittings were old and in need of replacement. The bathroom fittings... more

nice hotel with very nice front desk staff, the old fellow with glasses was particularly helpful. breakfast ok nothing special room was clean and reasonably big -see my photo bathroom clean and good shower location - absolutely perfect right in the middle of the old town! more

We spent 2 nights at the Rex hotel in Florence and had a great time. Rocco the guy at the reception was really friendly and helped us both with our bags and with advice on where to eat . The location is perfect, in the heart of the historical centre and only 10 mins walk from the station. The hotel... more

Great location, the staff are very helpful. But the hotel itself will need major renovation. The rooms look dated. Carpet will need to be replaced. The previous person staying in our room is likely a smoker. The air is full of smoke smell. Took an hour of open window to get most of the smell out. Don't expect too much... more

We stayed two nights in the hotel. The hotel is in desperate need of updating. The carpet and wallpaper was filthy, so bring slippers. The location is great. It is easy to reach all major sights and very convenient to the train station. We felt very cozy in the rooms and the staff was helpful. A two night stay was... more

This hotel was a great find. It is a typical older European hotel, meaning it is not perfect. But it was easy to find, centrally located to all major sites and trains, clean and accomodating. This hotel is old, the walls do need a fresh papering (the floors in our back corner room were tiled), but if you are looking... more

I would like to meet the reviewer who gave this hotel a 3 star rating. Comparing this to other 3 star hotels, 1-2 stars should be removed. A very tired hotel that needs major upgrading. The furniture had seen better days, the carpet needed changing not cleaning. The photos of the hotel looked good but they were misleading. The staff... more

Location was great, close to the train station, street market, restaurants, attractions and even close to our tour CAF travel office. However, the room was quite dirty and the carpet had stains on them. Also, under the floor carpet there were peices of garbage. The shower curtain did not close all the way down so water got everywhere onto the... more

We were stuck with this hotel on the easter long weekend. Dark, dingy, water damaged floorings, a terrible breakfast and surly reception staff , need I say more. Look closer to the railway station on Via Faenza, there a lot of good hotels like Azzi-locanda Degli Artis. more
