Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Hotel Rex from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

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.
