The staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable—they kindly stored our luggage after check-out and even prepared our breakfast to go since we had to leave early. We truly appreciate it.

Hotel is under renovation so it wasn't an ideal time to stay. Great location
Susanne, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is right in the middle of tourist attractions and 7 min walk from train station. It has decent breakfast included. The best part is the people working there - they are very nice and friendly.
Tenio, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Rex is ideally located for a few days in Florence. The main attractions are very walkable, for south of the river it is around 30 minutes. We had a lovely welcome from the staff and they had baggage storage as we were early for our check in. A nice continental breakfast selection available too. The street of the hotel is lively with bars and restaurants. This might put some quieter travelers off, but we were happy endulging in the €3.50 spritz and apretivio. The rooms and amenities are rustic, but all working properly and still very clean. The pros of it's location and service certainly outweighed the room conditions for us. Overall, a lovely stay in Florence. Thank you!
Jack, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Easy access from the Florence train station and easy access to the main attractions. Room was small and with poor air conditioning.
Juan, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Don't get a room facing the street!

The hotel is in a great location, the staff is very nice, and the breakfast is good. But make sure you do not get a room facing the street. There is a bar right across the street with loud people that closes at 2am, so I did not get any sleep. The hotel was nice enough to move me for the second night, but that first night was horrible. The beds are also not the most comfortable, but decent.
Zoltan, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Location was excellent, only 5 minute walk from station & main attractions. While the property is quite shabby looking, the room was clean. Breakfast was adequate with a good choice for a continental selection. The bed was quite hard & the bathroom very small. However, for the price & location could not complain too much. Staff was friendly & helpful.
Margot, 3-night trip
