Just got back from a fabulous weekend staying at this wonderful hotel. From the moment we walked through the door until the time we left we were so well looked after. A few reviews I have read mentioned about the hotel looking 'tired' and I do have to agree with this statement to some extent but actually I think it... More

Safe to say the Rex is a traditional sea side hotel- full of friendly English speaking staff. The first 'sea view' double room was tiny and was really unacceptable- though we were quickly changed to a 'family room'. Breakfast in the basement ok. Good tea and coffee, and toiletries in the room- above expectations. Rooms/bathrooms tired. Enjoyed the traditional sea... More

This is a hotel very close to the beach and it has probably seen better days, but having experienced several B&Bs in Weymouth over the past 18 months this is quite reasonable accommodation. Reception staff were very helpful and from colleagues comments they always seem to remember previous customers and there is always a friendly welome. Good facilities with the... More

Great location, and if you park on the street, can get a pass from reception, so do not pay any charges. Birthday treat for my husband and so booked room at front with sea view and balcony (room 1) Loved the view, huge window, which you could step out onto the balcony. However at night the outside has lights which... More

We did not stay in this Hotel but stopped by to visit the restaurant and we were so pleased we did. We were staying in Weymouth for the Easter weekend and wanted a meal that was not fish and chips or traditional pub food. As we walked along the Esplanade we came upon Hotel Rex, located by the funfair. It... More

Weymouth has obviously seen better times and looking at the seafront hotels in general the Rex must be one of the better ones. Had a balcony room facing the seafront and overlooking the carousel - which gives quite a nice light in the evening. The room was adequate, as was the bath, all very clean, some redecoration had obviously done... More

No big chain hotels on the seafront so really nothing better. Traditional old hotel in fab location right opposite wonderful sandy beach, and very near restaurants, shops and bars. Paid extra £7 for 1 night parking in secured garage within easy walking distance (even let us leave the car in while we looked around some more on Sunday). Our bedroom... More

I regularly stay a the Rex on my monthly fishing trips from Weymouth, and I have always been looked after by friendly staff. They freeze my fish for me and have even cooked a Turbot I caught that day, for my evening meal. If you want a friendly Hotel, with a bit of character then try the Rex.
