렉스 호텔 칼라마타(Rex Hotel)

Stayed for one whole week, I have found nothing to criticize except Internet connection which was unstable. Located at the city center, actually a very old building that has recently renovated. Staff is friendly and quick, hotel offers excellent breakfast and very comfortable mattresses (something important to me) I'm very satisfied and I can recommend.

What to make of the Rex? It should be better than it is. Situated in a building with a splendid historic facade, the interior is drab and tired. Our greeting was cordial, our reservation in order, and we were pleased the desk seemed to be staffed 24/7. The elevator worked most of the time. There is much to like, and much that could be improved. If location is everything, the Rex has this in spades with no viable competition anywhere near. The fun bars and small shops of Old Town, such as the amazing spice store, are almost just out the door. The castle is a ten-minute walk, the fabulous farmers market is barely five. Plentiful and inexpensive city parking is available in the lots across the street. My fee for overnight was €4.50. An unexpected off-season bonus was that with so few guests, instead of the buffet you get a table-served breakfast virtually made-to-order. But the room was very clean and totally charmless. Amenities included a safe, a tiny TV, a fridge and an antique hair dryer with a hose like a vacuum cleaner. And that’s it. The wardrobe had excellent drawer space but three hangers as if resigned to only short-term stays. Free wi-fi with a good signal, but a shocking lack of outlets for your devices. The marble bathtub was deep, but the towels were thin. No coffee service. The mattress was the hardest I’ve slept on in a long time; however, surprisingly, I got a good night’s rest. The streets were quiet, the heat worked. The modest room rate reflects all these things, and in the end goes a long way to my rating that the Rex is in fact a good, economical choice. They know what they’re working with and charge fairly for it. Don't expect a luxury stay, but if you want to be downtown, this is an easy place to be.

Hotel Rex is a decent choice when visiting Kalamata. It is centrally located (2-3 min walk to the city centre) and parking outside hotel is abundant. The building is very nice, old but well maintained. Staff excellent, breakfast simple but tasty and the rooms renovated. A/C was efficient and silent. To sum it up: Very decent hotel, nothing luxurious but nothing negative to talk about. If you need a "simple" stay without the amenities of a 5 star hotel, then hotel Rex is a safe choice.

I went here for a frappe after visiting the Saturday market in Kalamata. It's an interesting old building in the pedestrianised area in the city centre. A good coffee and friendly service. Totally relaxing sitting under the orange trees.

Stayed for one whole week, I have found nothing to criticise. Located at the city center, actually a nice building that has recently renovated. Friendly staff, nice breakfast and also nice matresses. I'm very satisfied and I can recommend.

The hotel has very nice and sufficient rooms. It has an elevator. The location is great if you want to be at the center without having noises. It has a nice breakfast. The staff is friendly. They will provide you with good advice. It is quietly and convenient in many ways. There is parking either in front of the hotel or close by.

We were able to check in early which was great. The room was OK, very clean but really needs a refurb as it is quite dated. We had a fridge with water which was nice. No mosquito nets on the doors so we weren't able to open them at night but there was aircon. Breakfast was good & plentiful. The building is beautiful and very central to the old town & market.

Stinks smoking

It was nice but way too hot( not hotels fault!)
