The hotel from the outside looks like it could have a bit of a facelift as the 'H' is missing on the word Hotel...HOWEVER when you enter into the hotel you are greeted by a lovely large clean reception area, a bar with its own seating area, a TV viewing area and a sweeping staircase with a fully stocked information...

I chose the Otel Rex based purely on Trip Advisor reviews, what a mistake to make! Firstly the hotel is well located right on the sea front within a short walk of the decent harbour area. Car parking is a nightmare. You have to book in advance to get a space otherwise you are stuck in the expensive public carpark... More

I am sorry that your experience did not live up to your expectations, and wish you had brought your grievances to our attention during your time here and given us a chance to remedy the situation. However, stating that the hotel is dirty and not worthy of our 3 star staus is completely unfounded, and this is reflected in our... More

We stayed in may, the room was lovely and big with a very large bathroom. Very clean throughout. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. The food was top class. Prime location. Will most defiantly stay again. Only thing I would say and it's nothing to do with the hotel, but be careful parking, wardens are very hot round here.... More

The hotel is in a brilliant position on the seafront. However parking might be a problem but a short walk will access public carparks - we were on a coach trip. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are a bit quirky, some sloping floors and odd shapes, but having been built in 1795 this is not surprising.... More

I had just driven for over 3 hours on totally unfamiliar roads and was greeted by a rude, sarcastic and frosty receptionist who was 'busy' in an empty bar and told me I would "have to wait a few minutes". When she decided to deal with my arrival she continued to be unpleasant and unhelpful - her priority being to... More

Hotel Rex is in a prime location for all the shops, bars, restaurants, and Harbour. The staff are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The breakfast was good as was the dinner we had on Sunday evening, by far the best meal the whole weekend. We did not use the car the whole time we were there as the local... More

We booked last minute on booking.com I informed them we would be arriving late evening which was not a problem. When we arrived the welcome we received was brilliant the gentleman was so friendly and made us feel at ease! Offered a parking permit immediately so we could put it in car window straight away. He was excellent asking if... More
