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.

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!

Easy access from the Florence train station and easy access to the main attractions. Room was small and with poor air conditioning.

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.

This was a last minute booking but we found an absolute Gem! With Breakfast included, large room, tucked away and very close to main tourist areas, this was a great location and the staff were extremely helpful

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!

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.
