The room was fine but the property could use some updating. Torn carpets in hallways the guest lounge was outdated not well decorated the paintings were ugly. The breakfast was very good however and the staff super nice. In such a beautiful city just paint your walls a nice color. Put some pretty photos of artwork and replace your carpet in the hallways and you will have a beautiful hotel.

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!

The hotel is old and not clean. They are renovating it, and the noise is quite bothersome. No sunlight enters the room, and the toilet flushing is very noisy reaching from the surrounding rooms. Breakfast was good

Clean, friendly staff, great location

Nice hotel, good location, and very clean. But very busy and noisy at night but its Italy! My only complaint is that there was no blind or black-out curtains on the window. The curtains were a light linen. There was no direct sun shining into the room, however with all the lights on in the evening, it made the room a bit too light at night. I would recommend that you request a room in the back of the building. Breakfast was great, nice variety, something for everyone.

Great location near the train station. Small rooms, but clean and great breakfast. No hooks or places to hang things in the room. Gets a good amount of street noise till midnight or later, but it does quiet down.
