Hotel Rex
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a quiet seafront stay with direct access to the water and you have a car. If you want to explore Livorno's centre on foot, this is the wrong base, and on our reference dates the Luxury pick was cheaper.

Hotel Rex is a 4-star seafront hotel and our Budget pick in Livorno. It suits travellers who want calm by the sea, swimmers who like direct water access, and drivers who value quick highway access. Family rooms are listed, and the property data tags it as pet-friendly; confirm the terms with the hotel.
Skip it if you want to walk into town. The central sights in our data are around 90 minutes away on foot. It is also a poor fit if breakfast standards matter a lot, given guest comments.
Location and getting around
The address is Via Del Littorale 164. Guests rate the location 8.6 and value its seafront position, the quiet setting and convenient highway access.
The trade-off is distance from the centre. By our straight-line estimates, the New Synagogue of Livorno is about 6.9 km away, roughly 86 minutes on foot. The Monument of the Four Moors is about 7.1 km (89 minutes) and the Old Fortress about 7.4 km (93 minutes). That is far, so you will need public transport, a taxi or a car.
Parking is not listed in our data, despite the highway access. If you drive, ask the hotel about parking and its cost.
What guests say
The 8.3 score comes from 2,852 reviews and placed joint 2nd of the 3 eligible hotels in our sample.
Guests like the seafront location and the beach access, which is via private concrete platforms with sunbeds rather than a sandy beach. Whether the platforms and sunbeds are open in your travel month is not confirmed.
Breakfast is the weak point. The selection is varied, but guests mention paper cups, plastic cutlery and hot dishes that are often cold. Breakfast types are not listed in our data, and inclusion in your rate is not confirmed.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price we saw was €103.75 a night for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, about €208 in total, exactly the sample median. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
On our reference dates, Livorno prices did not follow the usual order. Our Best Value pick, Max Hotel Livorno, was €109 with 8.0. Our Luxury pick, GH Palazzo Suite & SPA, was €94.40 with 8.4 and 5 stars, cheaper than this hotel. What you get here is the sea: a beachfront setting, terrace, restaurant, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Why it made our top 3
Only 3 eligible hotels were in our Livorno sample. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice is set aside, which is why a 4-star hotel at the median price landed here.
Its real case is the seafront location. If that does not matter to you, compare the Luxury pick, which was cheaper on our dates.
