Everything
The location was great. A bit noisy with the live music, but it was ok.
Room was a bit 'old'.. but comfortable.
Location and staff
No aircon. Room was like sauna. Fine to crash as only single room but in summer you wouldnt wamt to chill in room
Location
Bed was so uncomfortable, very small, obviously slept on one side, as it was like sleeping on a cliff edge. The shower water pressure was appalling. Facilities were poor including tea & coffee. Extremely small standard double room. Extremely noisy.
The Hotel all round was very good. They even had a happy hour in the lovely little bar, between 4-6 and again 8-10pm. The cooked breakfast was excellent. The room was on the front of the hotel overlooking the sea. The staff were very friendly and helpful from the reception through to the breakfast room.
Great location and staff are brilliant.
Could do with complimentary water in room.
Very clean hotel in a central location.

Beautiful room with a gorgeous view and a spa bath Excellent location
Pillows were a little hard and bed sheet didn’t seem to fit the bed
Location is perfect, staff are very friendly and helpful, breakfast is excellent, clean rooms are serviced everyday and beds are super comfy with great pillows
Nothing that we didn’t like
Staff all very welcoming and friendly... hotel lovely. I didnt have sea view room but will defo book this next time
Room was lovely.. but view not great..however I did not book sea view. No.parking available
Everything. From the moment we step into the Rex we are made to feel welcome. The food is amazing, the service is first class and the rooms are lovely always clean and tidy. Having a sea view is an added treat. Staff stay at The Rex which is always nice so we see a familiar face but also says a lot about the owners and management. The Rex is second to none. An amazing team.
Nothing to dislike
Good location. Lovely staff. Nice breakfast.
Bed was uncomfortable as room was on a slant, so felt like i was falling to one side. Toilet flush was very poor.
La situació de l'hotel
Que et diguin on has de seure a l'esmorzar i que no tinguin fruita. Que hi ha unes atraccions davant i hi ha música tot el dia, no es pot descansar
Very clean hotel and pleasant staff Great location on sea front
Size of room and very thin walls Lack of parking
Lovely old fashioned reasonably priced hotel with friendly helpful staff.
Breakfast an staff at breakfast fantastic
Not clean enough
Very clean, friendly staff, great breakfast, great location
We liked everything
Nice hotel perfect place breakfast was absolutely amazing staff in breakfast room was fantastic ..
Price nice to have sea view balcony but in room could have done lot more up dating paint work not very good . Bathroom bit mouldy around bath to me it’s a hours work a could have done with a fridge in room fit nice under table. A soap dispenser was empty so we went out an got our own . So for the money I payed think things help for me an my wife it didn’t have the Waw factor..
Lovely hotel and very friendly staff. My room was comfortable and with the essential facilities. Breakfast was lovely and the hotel is in a central location.
Location was great
Very well maintained hotel with very clean well equipped room in perfect location.
The staff were very friendly. The location was excellent. The food was very good and we had 2 evening meals as well as breakfasts. Would stay there again.
The gents toilets needed attention with a lock on the door
Location, staff friendly and helpful easy check in and out
Nothing to dislike, everything is perfect, location, staff, breakfast, and the bar staff all great, the manager she couldn't do enough for the guests, it's the first time I have stayed, but it won't be the last, I hope to get booked up again, have stayed in the sister hotel the Crown, it's like an extension to the other hotel. Lovely place
Great location with sea view, comfortable and clean rooms, good price.
Great location, staff accommodating, Room was comfortable we loved the sea view and balcony. We loved everything about this hotel.
Nothing not to like, excellent hotel, exceptional stay.
Location and decor in the upgraded room was lovely, spacious and very elegant. Perfect position for everything. We were lucky finding a parking with the parking pass but I can image that it could be challenging.
The only thing that let it down was the poor quality bed sheets. They were too small for the bed and no fitted sheet. By morning everything lad slipped off and we were on a bare mattress. Not a sanitary prospect even though it looked clean.
Location breakfasts the friendly staff.
Total lack of parking, and 2 of the party had faulty showers mine had mould in the shower.
Location. Generally Warm Welcome.
Shower power was tepid at best. Lack of parking not explained prior to booking resulting in x2 £7.30 in additional parking fees. No one came to serve me at breakfast so I checked out of the property.
Very attractive property, inside and out. Lovely staff, so friendly and helpful. Great sea view from my single room.
Lack of parking, but this is more a Weymouth problem than the hotel.
The hotel was clean , with great location. Staff was very polite and friendly
The only dislike I had was with the pillows, for me they was too big
Superb breakfast. A very good location Helpful Staff
The room was quite small and the shower and bed were small . The evening meal had 4 options and 2 of them were not available at 6.30pm. Fortunately the chef had a replacement for these in our case
Great location for beach and harbour but also consistently maintains high standards. A credit to the staff
N/a
We loved everything about this hotel
There wasn't a thing we didn't like
The location is great
We could only stay for two nights
Location was exceptional and the breakfast was delicious and overall good value for money but could do with a few upgrades.
Being on the beach front there was arcades and rides which lit up the room and you could hear quite a bit of noise from outside as the windows are single pane. so the room could do with black out blinds/curtains. The bed wasnt the most comfortable and the shower trickled out water as well.
Excellent location,lovely seaview room Lovely and clean Freindly staff Good breakfast Great value
All staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.
Camera all'ultimo piano spaziosa ma un po' calda. Letto comodo e bagno grande. Al check in ci è stata offerta gentilmente la possibilità di avere un permesso per parcheggiare nei dintorni gratuitamente e senza dover spostare l'auto ad ogni ora.
La doccia (nella vasca con tenda) molto faticosa con pochissima pressione dell'acqua. Colazione scadente e poco varia.
The hotel is close to the town and the breakfast is fabulous, all freshly cooked to order.
I could hear everything in the bathroom in the next room.
Filling and swiftly cooked breakfast, from a good list. Given the very competetive accommodation price, I was very impressed by the all round excellence of the facilities.
No complaints at all.
Very polite staff good service and reasonable bar prices I would go again
Nothing I did not like I can only speak highly of them.
Excellent hotel..exceeded my expectations. Very clean, comfortable with wonderful sea views. The breakfast room and breakfast was exceptional!! Highly recommend.
Everything was perfect.
Very good location.
Rooms very clean and great beds. Staff were very friendly
Nothing
Sparkly clean room. Comfortable bed. Sea view Handy parking..if you are lucky to get a space outside as we did Friendly staff .. especially the happy singing breakfast lady. Happy hour!...and importantly a lift!!!!
Not that important, but a coffee pod machine would be good
We only stayed two nights. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely.
Initial introduction to the hotel was basic . Don’t let that put you off. There wasn’t anything at all that we were not happy with
Everything was perfect!!
The staff are friendly, the hotel was clean and the room was really nice with a double balcony windows and the bed was very comfortable and a jacuzzi bath
I like the whole experience and will go back, stayed a few times before
Hotel perfect location very clean rooms lovely breakfast fantastic staff very good very close to all amenities
Parking was a bit hard best time to park is between 6-7pm but wasn't really a problem
Excellent location, comfy bed, excellent staff, good breakfast.
The shower was fine, water was hot but it wasn't as strong as I would like.
The staff and hotel was fabulous so clean and airy
The parking is a nightmare
Friendly staff very clean rooms breakfast was delicious. Location brilliant.
Nothing except parking could be a problem.
Niks
Veel kabaal, kermis, feestgangers, kleine kamer, erg heet, geen service van bediening, erg heel slecht.
We had a fantastic 2night stay. We stayed in room 2with a sea view and balcony and made the most of that as it was in the shade and that certainly was needed this weekend. The room was lovely and clean,beds comfy and the housekeeping refreshed all for day 2 which was fantastic. Check in was hassle free as was getting served in the bar which we found really great prices. Breakfast was fantastic, cooked fresh and the porridge was the best I have tasted in years. Really it was so tasty. Loved the fact as well that all yogurts and milk was kept in the fridge so kept cold, a nice touch. All the staff were really friendly and chatty. Car parking is a drop lucky situation but the fact its free with the returnable permit pass was a bonus, but the main payable car park is only 5min walk so no massive headache if you can't street park. Walk into town and harbour is 5 mins if that and lots independent shops too which is nice to see. Have to say as well weymouth is so clean, no litter and the council were emptying the bins early as the birds were in there! It was a pleasure to stay here at the rex. We would certainly return and recommend you to all.
Location was excellent
Very hot 🥵
Friendly ,
Parking
Lovely location friendly staff good room
Staff ,Location and breakfast great
Parking is a bit of a mare and wardens are hyenas ready to pounce
Excellent location, very clean surroundings and rooms, attentive staff, and very friendly. We would definitely stay again.
The bed and pillow were too hard for what I am used to, but it would not stop me returning.
All the staff were exteremely helpful and friendly. Perfect location and ideal for lolcal resataurants and bars. Last minute break and everything was stress free. Will be back.
Nothing was apparent
Great hotel in a wonderful location! The room was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The staff was polite, welcoming, and helpful. Everything was smooth and enjoyable during my stay. Excellent value for money!
Great location with a lovely warm welcome from all of the professional staff, our room, which was on the front of the building, was very spacious and nicely decorated with everything that you require for your stay, the only thing that we would have liked was a fan due to the unforecastable good and hot weather, but that was just a minor thing, overall a fabulous hotel, Its been a long time since I have seen families enjoying a resort such has Weymouth.
A party of us went to the Rex for a week on a coach trip.. We were treaterd like royalty by every member of the staff we came across from start to finish. The hotel was first class and provided with everything we could have wished for.Our room was immaculate. The food supplied by the UNSEEN kitchen staff was absolutely superb as was our waiters and waitresses. We are looking forward to our next visit there.
A lovely 2 night stay at the Hotel Rex. Brilliant location and friendly staff. The hotel was very clean and we had a nice room with a sea view.
The location and hotel was perfect, staff were beyond friendly , breakfast was delicious , love that a fan was supplied in the room
The mattress was very very firm , so I didn't sleep well , there also could be a couple more plug sockets
Its position in Weymouth perfect spot
Nothing
Fab location and staff were very friendly
Good location, friendly family feel
In need of modernisation
Great Hotel
Our room was on the top floor and there was very little water pressure for the shower, sometimes none!
lovely room> staff are so lovely, we love coming here
nothing
The Staff were excellent. Ideal location.
The shower.
The hotel is right in town every thing is outside your front door. Very clean room , free parking permit for outside. Lovely staff . 5 star ✨
Having to go home 😞
Very pleasant reception on arrival, lift, bar with lounge and TV, and an acoustics room. Well appointed double room (single not available), ensuite, TV, etc. perfect views of beach, harbour, and amusement park. Not far from the theatre ( a good programme every day/night). Excellent breakfasts, and dinner is also available. All staff very helpful and pleasant. Only 3 stars(dear,dear), it is well worth the extra star. It seems that the 4 star hotels provide a gymnasium, sun-bed, sauna, etc. Why bother, when you have the salt sea, a beautiful beach, and refreshing sea air. I rest my case.
As you drive along the seafront towards the harbour, you'll come across this impressive Grade 2 listed building situated alongside Alexandra Gardens and the stunning sandy beach of Weymouth, the jewell in the crown on Dorsets Jurassic Coast. Many of the rooms have impressive seaviews, with several having the benefit of a balcony. All rooms are well appointed and have ensuite bathrooms and a hospitality tray. There is a bar, lounge/entertainment room, and a "cellar-style" restaurant serving a delicious breakfast with the option to dine in at night, choosing from a menu changed daily. Many of the staff have been there several years, which speaks volumes. It is obvious they enjoy working at this hotel. The General Manager Lisa prides herself in giving the customers an excellent experience and is ably assisted by Brian and the rest of the team. If you're thinking of staying in Weymouth, either for a beach holiday or other function, you won't be disappointed if you choose the Hotel Rex
We had false information regarding the parking therefore we got a parking ticket. We got told we could leave our car in zone F and move before 10am on sunday morning however we moved our car at 8am and got a parking ticket
Lovely location with great sea view. Very friendly attentive staff. Good standards of cleanliness.
Quite dated but relative to the prices charged
Excellent location, great value for money
Wonderful hotel. Stayed in the suite. Loved the huge windows with sea views and the balcony. Great big jacuzzi bath. Breakfast was excellent. Great choice! Staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly. Will definitely stay here again.
Great location. V friendly staff. We upgraded to a sea view room v nice.
The staff were great, breakfast in the morning was fantastic. The room was comfortable.
There was a carnival setup outsides our window which was very loud at times, not the hotels but it did have an impact.
yet again great stay
going home
Staff were second to none, perfectly clean and the breakfast was to die for.
Shower was poor, small and I’m not a large person and water pressure was non existent
Loved the location of the property
Feel that air con or a fan would have been good in the suite as the only windows are double doors with sash windows behind , didn’t feel safe to leave these open all night
Well located.
Room was sloping !!
The staff was friendly Hotel was nice
Bed was to small, Breakfast cereal was tasteless,
Das Hotel liegt sehr gut in der Nähe des Zentrums, des Bahnhofs und des Strandes. Das Frühstück war gut und das Personal sehr freundlich. Wir konnten unsere Fahrräder in einer großen Garage in der Nähe des Hotels unterstellen.
Die Eintelzimmer waren sehr klein und relativ dunkel. Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche war so gering, dass Duschen kaum möglich war.
Helpful staff. Great breakfast. Lovely historic building. Nice big bathroom with a bath.
My single room looked on to the kitchen vent. The bed was too soft for my liking.
Perfect Getaway at a Historic Gem – Highly Recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We recently stayed at The Hotel Rex in Weymouth and had an absolutely fantastic time.

There was a great variety of options to choose from, including:Cold Buffet: A fresh selection of fruits, cereals, and refreshing juices.Hot Drinks: Plenty of fresh coffee and tea.Cooked Options: Multiple hot breakfast choices, all freshly prepared and delicious.Amazing & Informative StaffWhat truly made our stay stand out was the incredible service.

They were also highly informative, gladly sharing local knowledge and tips that helped us make the most of our time in Weymouth.We had a wonderful experience at The Hotel Rex and will definitely look to stay here again on our next visit to the coast!
The most important part of this is a 10 steps from the beach.The price is really really good and the breakfast included in price. It is a great place to go and the food amazing 😊.The perfect place for a big family.
Nothing we didn’t like it ☺️
The sea veiws, central location to shops , harbour. The room was a good size very clean as was the on suite. The hotel had wonderfull helpfull freindly staff a lovely clean bar area with good prices. Beds were very comfy. Great that the hotel had a lift.
Would prefer a walk in shower than a bath especially with a disability Didnt like the shower curtains abit old fashioned . Could have done with a mini fridge an iron and ironing board in the room.
Great location and amazing breakfast, clean and comfortable.
The parking situation. There is no where to park and we couldn’t find a single space anywhere close. We ended up driving around for a long time until we finally found a space, but we had to go and move the car again at 9am as it was a bus lane. Luckily we spotted someone leaving at 10pm and managed to get their spot. This then led to not having anywhere to park the next day as the hotel wanted the parking pass back and you could only pay for an hour pay and display outside the hotel. We ended up keeping the pass but getting phone calls asking for it back later in the day. We felt like we had no option but to keep it otherwise we would have to leave Weymouth early and cut the holiday short.
We had a lovely room with a fantastic sea view. Very comfy bed White fluffy towels Breakfast was really good with so much choice Staff very helpful
Staff were very nice and helpful. Bed was so comfortable as were the pillows. Room was very clean and hotel was lovely. Would definitely return 😀😀 Breakfast was also very good.
