6 min walk fr SM Novella train station, 6 min away fr Sta Maria Novella cathedral. It is coveniently next to a laundromat. room is clean, offered us 3 twin beds. accessible to the walkable city if Firenze
The staff really did everything to get a room as fast as they could for me. The service was the best, the room was clean and the cleaning staff was very helpful. The area around the hotel is safe and close to the train station and everything important. Would return here in a heartbeat

Oldish room, very small bathroom, noisy from street activities. Very good location close to the train station, restaurants and Duomo and other museums.
I recommand this hotel for the location, a plus since you don’t have to carry your suitcase far. Lots of restos close by so is the market for great lunches.
Convenient location. We just walked around the major attractions as well as the train station. They have breakfast and allows to leave luggages before and after check out. Thank you!
Great location near markets and restaurants. Close to train station so it’s easy to move in and out of the city from there. Hotel is very clean and cozy and the staff is friendly. Definitely recommended.
The hotel is conveniently located as it is very near the train station. The street also has grocery store, laundry shop and a lot of dining options! Plus very near the duomo. Room is very clean. Our room was on the street side and I could hear the people having drinks at the nearby restaurant but nothing that could not be fixed by closing the window. As we leave very early, the staff graciously packed our breakfast the night before (juice, water, fruits and biscuits).
The Rex Hotel is very well located, close to the Santa Maria station, many restaurants and shops, churches (Franco and Alicia were very kind, thank you).
Great location. Small rooms but perfect spot in Florence. Close to train station and hop on bus, also close to all major sites. Restaurants line the street and close to market.
The staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable—they kindly stored our luggage after check-out and even prepared our breakfast to go since we had to leave early. We truly appreciate it.
