This is an awesome hotel situated right in the centre of Nice yet you wouldn't know it as it's in a nice quiet courtyard of it's own. You basically have to walk through another building first then over a little bridge to get into the hotel Rex building. It's in a lovely courtyard with purple flowers growing up the walls.... more

I stayed for the second time in this quaint, friendly and very well-located little hotel. It is under new ownership and the new owners seem intent on offering the same friendly level of service as in the past. Location is excellent. Owner and family are very friendly and helpful. more

Booked as a result of Tripadvisor reviews and am glad I did. A great location in the centre of town and within one minute's walk of the Massena tram stop which makes getting around simple. Rex is spotlessly clean with simple yet extremely tastefully-furnished rooms. No bland corporate shelving units here but reclaimed and 'distressed' old furniture in muted tones.... more

Having spent some time looking at reviews, mainly on this site, I decided to spend the first 3 nights at the Hotel Rex in Nice. I'm glad I did. The other reviews extolling the virtues of this wonderful little hotel are all true and... more

I just loved this hotel. It is clean, comfortable, in an ideal location and you can't beat the price. The staff are friendly, always willing to help and give advice. The rooms are beautiful. Every single one of them are different. I stayed here about 10 years ago, and the difference is amazing. The owner has done a great job!!!!! more

First of all I would like to thank all tripAdvisor users, thanks for making finding the hotel so easy. It's right out of the Place Massena, where you can take a bus from the airport and then back there. And then you just head to Rue Massena and watch up and there's the hotels sign. But then, you have to... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Rex the night before a cruise. I booked this hotel based on the excellent Tripadvisor reviews, and as usual, the TA posters didn't let me down! I booked the hotel directly through their webpage, and Thierry was helpful and responded promptly. We received detailed directions on how to get to the hotel... more

I stayed at Hotel Rex for four nights and it was fantastic. Yes, it's basic, but very clean and comfortable, centrally located and can't be beaten for a budget conscious traveller. The owners are very helpful and welcoming - from booking right through to check out. I would stay here again for sure. more
