The location of this hotel is great, very close to the bistro's, cafes and shops! The hotel itself wasn't the best. I guess you get what you pay for though. First you walk through a creepy courtyard to get to the hotel... it smells like stale smoke and lilies. Very boutique-st. Room was very small... but we were only there... More

If you are looking for a 5 star hotel then this is not it. That said, this place is perfect for what it is...inexpensive two star accommodation in the perfect location. I was slighty worried about the reviews that mentioned bed bugs so I was a bit wary before we got there but I couldn't have been more pleased with... More

I rented a single room for one week and during that week I was bitten VERY frequently by bed bugs. Since I did not react immediately, I did not know I had bedbugs - despite the telltale signs of drops of blood on the sheets. The hotel staff must have realized as they repeated moved the single bed away from... More

Thank you for having taken the time to write this comment. Cleanliness has always been our biggest concern, we clean every day very carefully our rooms and beds. In addition to that we have a contract with a company who regularly controls our hotel. After reading your comment I immediately called them, they came this morning and fortunately they couldn't...

Hotel Rex is no doubt a bit past its best, but it wasn't horrible. Good bits - location is excellent, it was pretty cheap and everything in our room pretty much worked. Reservation process and check in was a breeze. Bad bits - Certainly not for the mobility-impaired - loads of stairs which were a real challenge with suitcases. Although... More

After reading many positive reviews a month ago, I booked a room for a quick weekend get away. What a MISTAKE!!! The only real benefit is it's value for it's central location, but it's absolutely not worth it. Not only did the literally small, closet bathroom smell "interesting", there were BED BUGS!!! I have small bug bites all over my... More

We stayed two nights at this cute B&B. Didier was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable (nothing fancy but great for the price). Our room had beautiful windows that opened up and let great natural light in. The shower is tiny! The hotel is located on a wonderfully busy street right in the heart of Nice.... More

We found this hotel was good value for money but there were a few stairs to climb and no lift. The receptionist was really great with carrying suitcases and also arranging a taxi when we were leaving. The room was very nice with a separate area for our grown daughter to sleep (with a proper bed.) The room was serviced... More

When you book a hotel for 50% of what the 4 star hotels are charging in a city you look for location, comfort and character. This hotel ticks all three boxes. Didier, didier and dino (their cute and quiet little poodle) make you feel at home straight away. The rooms aren't sexy, they aren't luxury but they are clean, have... More

We stayed at Hotel Rex for 1 night in August. Our first impression was that it is a bit of a pain to find, so we may have started with somewhat lessened expectations. The pictures of the hotel online are fair enough, but they fail to mention that the hotel itself is actually located off of a pedestrian zone, through... More
