2/10 Poor

Avoid! Awful, shabby and dangerous room.
I don’t like giving negative reviews so positives first. Location in central Florence excellent & close to the station. Staff were friendly. Large comfy bed. Good continental breakfast but time available could be extended. Unfortunately, none of the above make up for possibly the worst room I have stayed in, in the last 30 years. Room small, dark & shabby with paint peeling from the walls & scruffy little built in wardrobe. En-suite tiny & very tired. En suite door was hanging dangerously by the upper hinge only, as the lower one had rusted & broken away from the rotten door post. The raincan shower head was broken so very difficult to direct the flow of water in order to have a decent shower. No plug in the sink. No instructions for aircon and couldn’t get it to work, despite using online user manual. The electric went off 3 times during our 4 day stay and we had to pack in the dark. We did consider asking for another room but found out online that the hotel was fully booked. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone, very shoddy and poor value for money. The owners will probably say we should have flagged up the problems but it is clear the damage to the en-suite door, and shower head are not new and they must be aware of them. They just choose not to fix them as they know they’ll always have custom. I actually found a 10 cm piece of door frame down the plug hole & the shower rail & curtain on the floor after maid had been. Smoke alarm was also disconnected in a drawer!

4/10 Fair

Tired Hotel
The negatives far outweigh the positives of this hotel. It is a great location and the staff could not have been nicer. This is a very tired hotel and very uncomfortable. The carpets are extremely worn and the rooms were clean, but the mosquitoes were relentless. I think the cleaners would leave the Window open when they were cleaning because we were swatting them every night. I do not recommend this hotel.

Recomendable por la ubicación
El hotel tiene excelente ubicación; la habitacion esta en buenas condiciones, sin embargo la cama esta muy dura, como si estuvieras acostado en el piso, ademas que es muy ruidoso (no se si estaban arreglando algo porque se escuchaban golpes de martillo y taladro) no pudimos dormir bien los dias que estuvimos; el horario del desayuno es muy corto de 8 am a 9:30 am y el que atiende tiene mala actitud, contesta muy feo a los comensales; solo lo recomendaria por la ubicacion

It is well-located, within walking distance of the train station, and other points of interest. There are many options for shopping, dinner, groceries, laundry, and everything you need. The facilities are old and basic, but they are of good value for a short stay for bead and breakfast.

Nice spot, located close to several tourist attractions. Easy to walk to lots of places, and a really good continental breakfast. We showed up 4 hours prior to check in due to travel times they let us store our bags. Very nice of them, would definitely recommend!

Wonderful location, close to many main sights, i walked to Duomo both at six in the morning and 11 at night, just to have a look at it. Our room opens to courtyard and is super quiet.

We loved our stay and that breakfast was included!! Our only issue was that our rooms air conditioning was not functioning! We had to open our room door to let in the much cooler hallway air in. Despite this Hotel Rex is located in an excellent location and has pleasant accommodations!

Good location, cool old building, very small room, unable to regulate A/C temperatures in room, poor water pressure in shower, small bathroom.

Location, location, location!! The hotel was within walking distance to all the big tourist attractions in Florence including the train station. This hotel was clean and simple. My only complaint was the bathroom was very narrow. The staff was friendly and helpful providing tips for authentic tuscan/italian restaurants and a map of the city.

2/10 Poor

We expected some city noise, but the soundproofing was awful. 2nd floor up (3rd) and you could hear all the music, patrons and general noise from the street in front as if it was directly in your room. Most nights we could only get uninterupted sleep between 3am and 6am. We also didnt have any control over the A/C and spent our 3 nights just sweating from how hot the room got. Wouldnt recommend during the peak season.
