This tiny hotel has a great location, just off the main pedestrianised shopping streets, and 5-10 mins walk from the beach and the old town.

The rooms are set back from the main street on a courtyard so are fairly quiet. Our room was small and cute, with tiny but functional en-suite facilities. Room was comfortable, although we found it a bit on the hot side (we'd just arrived from Scotland and it took a while to adjust to South of France temperatures). Staff were very friendly and helpful, giving us directions and maps, and letting us leave our luggage.close

It is also right in the center of the historic section of the city, within 5 minutes walk of the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and the museums. It is also in a fun, safe area, with lots of shops and restaurants. Lastly, the staff are as friendly and helpful as you'll find anywhere; so much so that we invited them to come visit us in the US!close

Because of a misunderstanding regarding a change of dates, the hotel was overbooked when we arrived, so we ended up having to go to another hotel. The staff of Hotel Rex was very accommodating, however, in finding us an alternate hotel, so ultimately, we were very pleased and would love to come...

Hotel Rex offers perfect location downtown Nice. It is charmingly decorated and you are being welcomed by pleasant people. While the toilets are rather small and the actual building sits in a yard, it is far compensated by the upsides. Indeed worth a stop for the weekend.

The rooms are nicely and uniquely decorated. I like it! The staff is extremely nice and helpful, and the location is excellent. The only problem with this hotel is that it requires going up two flights of stairs with no elevator.

A fine little place in the heart of Nice, but the prices don't really justify the style and quality of the hotel. Try a Bed and Breakfast in Nice if you want something similar but with better prices and attention.

When in Europe, I would take a side trip to Nice just to stay here! It's quaint with a modern bed and bathroom. The manager was so nice and helpful. It's very well situated, within close walking distance of everything important to see in Nice. It was my favorite place to stay in Europe.

Thierry and his mother were lovely hosts. Great location and nice clean functional room (small but compact). Good value for the price - tv; hairdryer; and mirrors - essential for females sharing. Quiet enough for a good night's sleep.

Its not bad for a one star place.The location is excellent and the staff wonderful. If you like Shabby Chic styling then you can see how they have managed to create this image with basic things! There is no sound proofing so you can hear your neighbours, but for what you pay its worth it
