Rex Hotel

Rex Hotel is a budget hotel at Monastiriou 39 in the Vardaris district of Thessaloniki, in the Central Macedonia region of northern Greece. Monastiriou Street runs west from the city's railway station, and the hotel sits near the station, making it a practical choice for visitors arriving or leaving by train or bus. High-season rooms cost around EUR 60, and the typical range is about EUR 45 to EUR 80 per night, which places the property among the cheapest hotels in the city with a private room. Breakfast is listed among the amenities. The Vardaris district is a working, commercial area rather than a tourist quarter, with a more local and less polished character than the historic centre or the waterfront. The surrounding streets include shops, cafes and small eateries, and the district is better known for its transport links than its sights. Aristotelous Square and the main attractions of the centre are about 2 km away, a long walk or a short taxi or bus ride, and the port area and Ladadika lie to the south. The hotel's value lies in price and convenience rather than in design or extras. The published information does not list a pool, spa or restaurant, so visitors should expect a simple, functional stay. Service is straightforward and informal, aimed at independent travellers, backpackers, budget-conscious couples and those making a short stopover on a longer route through Greece or the Balkans. The railway station connects Thessaloniki with Athens, the north of Greece and neighbouring countries, which makes this area useful for onward travel. Visitors who want an evening out will generally travel to Ladadika or the waterfront. Reservations can be made on +30 2310 517051, and the hotel has its own website at rexhotelthessaloniki.gr.
