Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Hotel Rex from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Rex enjoys a prime seafront location, making it a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants, as well as a convenient distance from the train station. Many guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, some of which feature balconies with beautiful views. The breakfast is traditionally good, and the hotel provides secure garage parking, though some find the space a bit tight. While most rooms offer a comfortable experience, a few guests have noted that the walls can be thin, occasionally allowing noise to travel.

Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues Noted

poor sound insulation uncomfortable mattress
The sound insulation throughout the hotel are not effective. I could hear every conversation around me, including guests in nearby rooms and in the corridor. The noise made it difficult to relax in the Double Room Sea View. The mattress do not provide adequate support. I found it uncomfortable, resulting in a poor night sleep. The hotel also lack a cute atmosphere.

Breakfast was AMAZING!!! It was fresh and hot, and the menu had excellent value. The location was also perfect for visiting the town and local sites. I would book here again.
There were quite a few steps at the entrance, which might be difficult with mobility issues.
