Hotel Rex
A practical Florence base with parking, pets welcome and rooms for one to four
A place to stay in Florence
Hotel Rex is a 3-star hotel in Florence, Italy, rated 3.9/5 across 306 guest reviews. Rooms run from singles up to triples and quadruples, so solo travellers, couples and small groups can all book the same address. Prices start from €135. The setup is geared to convenience rather than frills: free wifi, air conditioning, an elevator, daily housekeeping and a concierge desk. Private parking and valet parking are available, which matters in a city where driving is awkward, and pets are welcome in dedicated pet-friendly rooms.
Who this stay suits
A straightforward 3-star Florence hotel with the practical boxes ticked — parking, wifi, breakfast and family-sized rooms — rather than a design statement.
Best for
- travellers arriving by car
- families needing triple or quadruple rooms
- guests travelling with a pet
- budget-conscious city explorers
Less suited to
- travellers after luxury finishes or resort-style facilities
Rooms for one to four
The room list is unusually broad for a city 3-star: singles, doubles and twins, plus triple and quadruple configurations that sleep three or four. Economy versions of the double and twin trim the price further. All rooms are non-smoking with air conditioning and a private bathroom.
Parking in the city
Private parking, a parking garage and valet parking are all on the books — a real advantage in Florence, where central driving and parking are restricted and expensive. Guests without a car still benefit: the concierge, tour desk and baggage storage keep logistics simple.
Pet-friendly by design
Pets are accepted here, with pet-friendly rooms listed as a signature feature. Combined with family rooms, facilities for disabled guests and an elevator, the hotel is set up for travellers who often find city properties awkward — dog owners, wheelchair users and larger family groups.

Arriving in Florence
Hotel Rex is 5.4 km from Florence Airport (FLR), where the T2 tram runs to Firenze Santa Maria Novella. Firenze Santa Maria Novella station is about 0.4 km away, roughly a 5-minute walk. Florence operates a ZTL limited-traffic zone in its historic centre, where cameras issue automatic fines to unauthorised vehicles. This property lists parking; properties inside a zone can usually register a guest's plate, so confirm access and arrival time before driving in. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
With 306 reviews on record, Hotel Rex holds a 3.9/5 guest rating. The strongest themes in guest feedback are the location, the staff and the free wifi — the three areas where this property performs best. The overall picture is of a functional, well-run 3-star where service and position do the heavy lifting.
