We booked Rex Hotel on line, and weren't sure what to expect. When we entered the foyer of the hotel we were absolutely charmed. The hosts, Didier and Didier were very personable and helpful, and the decor of the hotel (each room decorated differently) was impeccable. Obviously this is a budget hotel (approx 80 euros per night), but there was... more

We were very pleased with our 6-day stay at "Hotel Rex". The two "Didiers" are excellent hosts/managers and they went out of their way to make us feel welcome, always with a friendly smile. Our room was impeccably clean with sweet-smelling bedding and fluffy towels. Granted the bathroom was small by US standards....but who cares as long as everything works!... more

I took the chance and booked for one night.... absolutely with NO regrets ... I am 66 yr old female, and found the hotel fairly easily from the airport bus . I had a clean comfortable room ... my only 'difficulty' was getting up the last lot of stairs with my suitcase -- but asked for help and was given... more

This place well deserves the excellent reviews it's already got. In particular, it's very good value in what is otherwise a very expensive city for the UK traveller on a pound/euro exchange rate near parity (Sept 2009). Things would have been different a few years ago there of course. Don't be put off by the bustling Rue Massena as you... more

My husband and I stayed here on the last night of our week-long France vacation. We booked a double room with en-suite shower bath for 80 euro/night. We made our reservation via email (in English) and received a response the next day (also in English). A credit card was needed to hold the reservation and directions to the hotel were... more

Positives: excellent location and surprisingly quiet as hotel is placed at the back of a courtyard; well presented and care has been taken in the overall design; owner very helpful on arrival. Negatives: single room very small; size + no air conditioning = very warm in August even with fan. *Best suited to those looking for a good budget hotel... more

Good location and easy to find, but nobody's home. Arrived 3 pm on a sunday, rang the bell and waited about two hours at a nearby cafe. Nobody around to let me in. Finally a young man using the same entry for his apartment in front of the building, let me in. (and quickly disappeared). There was a big sign... more

We arrived at the airport and took the bus into town as directed. It took two local business people to help us locate where the hotel was in Rue Massena. Do not expect the usual reception area or foyer opening to the street. Instead, a doorway only with a small sign above. Go through this, up some steps then across... more

Hotel Rex was walking distance (2 blocks) to the beach and right next to the main square (Massena) where all the artists and performers hang out!!!!!!! We were also about a 5-8 minute walk to Vieux Nice (the old town) where we would walk around in the evening and enjoy fantastic gelato. Everything is right there: mini grocery store with... more
