Hotel Rex - Nice

8.2

Exceptional value considering its location at the epicenter of shopping and nitelife in Nice. The front door is literally 100 feet from the tram stop. It is only a 5 min tram ride to the bus station (Gare Routier) where you can catch a bus to Monoco. Staff were very helpful and friendly, if not completely fluent in English. Rooms had old-world charm (which means don't expect AC or 200 cable channels). But if you are there for AC or cable, you might as well stay home anyway.

We booked a twin room and actually ended up with a better, triple room when we stayed here. Although the door to the hotel is on a busy main pedestrian area, the room itself was set back and quiet. Although there was no air conditioning, there was a fan, so it was not too hot. Everywhere was clean and the staff were friendly. They allowed us to leave our things behind the desk on our last day and pick them up in the afternoon. Even though it was a small hotel, they also made showers and toilets availble to us and had some useful literature on France. It was not a problem for us, as we only stayed a couple of nights, but others may not appreciate that the wardrobe did not open. The location was absolutely fantastic, as you could walk out the hotel and be in the middle of town. It was a very short walk to Vieux Nice and only 5 minutes to get to the beach.

The hotel was just perfect. Set right on a main promenade, with tons to do. You are also close by to all major attractions of Nice. The hotel though is set back between buildings so you do not have the noise that comes from the streets. Great staff and overly welcoming. Cutest room I saw on my whole trip.

Hotel Rex is extremely good value for money, particularly when compared to many other overpriced hotels in Nice. Our room was basic but decorated very prettily and tastefully and was extremely clean - our main priority. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The only bonus would have been Air conditioning as it was very hot - however, the staff were very kind and put a large fan in our room to help. Great value and good location in the city. Thanks!

La ubicación es excelente. Al ser un hotel de pocas habitaciones practicamente no hay servicios. Debería mejorarse el estado del acceso al hotel (ubicado en un primer piso de un edificio). Las habitaciones están decoradas con mucho gusto y todas son distintas. No tiene aire acondicionado.

The girl at the desk was extremely kind. The position is just in the centre, the only negative thing was the wall outside the windows of my room; it was impossible to have a view to anything :-(

Peter was a fantastic host and easily the most helpful of all our hosts during our Europe holiday. Rooms were clean, adequate and comfortable. Bathroom was tiny but you learn to deal with that. Located on a pedestrain street next to the main square and shopping arcade. 4min walk to beach. Great selection of dining on rue Massena. Make the effort to speak some basic French and it will get you far :)

Inexpensive hotel was fine for a one night stay but we would not likely return as it is below our usual standard. Hotel was not well marked on the street although the location was excellent. The overall quality of the stay was not great as we were woken during the night by loud knocking by another hotel guest locked out of the hotel. The bathroom was very small and did not have a proper door. Staff were unfamiliar with banking machines at check-out. Overall staff were friendly. Not good access for physically challenged.

A lovely little hotel on a pedestrian street very close to the waterfront and the old town. I would definitely stay there again!

We found the Rex easily, but somehow we missed knowing that we had to go through an apartment foyer and then outside to another walk. The signs pointing the way made it easy to find, however. The steps up 2 flights were steep, but doable. If you have lots of luggage, or heavy luggage, it will be a challenge. The hotel is small, but very neat and the staff spoke English and were quite helpful. Our room was small, but completely adequate. It was clean, smelled good and the bed was comfortable. The Rex is located right directly off Massaena Place and is a perfect location to get anywhere in Nice. The walk-down to the paid parking garage is located practically right outside the door. Wonderful location for a fun time. We only stayed one night, but Rue Massaena and the Place have so many activities going on and lots of locations for good food.

The Rex, once you've found it, is really close to the major sights in Nice and a short walk to the bus station and the old town- lots of great places to eat from breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien near the opera house to dinner at Le Merenda in rue Raoul Bosio. The Rex has simple but really nice rooms, tiny ensuites and is run by a friendly couple. To find it you have to find an ordinary door in Rue Massena (there's a sign high on the wall) which is a busy pedestrianised shopping street. It's at the Place Massena end. Inside it looks like the lobby to shabby flate. You walk towards the back of the building over a bridge across an internal courtyard, then steep stairs to another ordinary door. This is the Rex. Two floors with about a dozen rooms, no public rooms and no breakfast- that's what cafes are for. Would I go back? Definitely. The location can't be beatend for the price and as a single female traveller I felt totally comfortable there. I went during Carnival in February and although it was all happening very close by, there was no noise.

i thought it would be a proper hotel, full service. instead, bare bones, run down. location was good but maps extremly inadequate. no advice from staff on what to see, how to get around. wifi was manually enabled. not old school. overall, disappointing.
