location is perfect

Stayed in April 2025

Location was excellent, in downtown and near my classes .

Stayed in March 2025

The only negative was that my TV was full of static, but I wasn't travelling to watch TV.

The location was incredible for visiting downtown. Over three nights, I attended two Raptors games and ate in great restaurants with everything within walking distance.

Hotel clients have to pay to enter the bar; very tiny bathrooms.

Great location, great staff, good value for money.

Great location

A slight modernisation would make for a big improvement.

The location is phenomenal and the staff is friendly. And super nice touch with the coffee/tea/toast included in the price.

Window was completely unsecured and you could access other windows from the rooftop that it led out to. There were suspiciously fresh looking stains and hair on the pillow cases. There was only one washroom available on the floor for the shared washroom rooms, (it looks like there usually are two, but one was out of service), so an adventure to other floors was required to find a free washroom.

Front desk staff were friendly and informative, and the location was great! Lots of shops and all kinds of restaurants around, and only a 15 minute walk to Union Station.

Staff, breakfast, quiet, comfort

Maybe some curtains on the windows to block the early morning sun. A box of Kleenex would be nice too!

Great value for the money and great location. Our room was pretty tiny but it was perfect for a night. Unfortunately we didn’t get back to our room on time to go to the bar for the New Year’s party.

It's really a basic hotel.

The location is the main selling point of this hotel. It's in a great spot.

dirty, we couldn't sit to have a coffee at the bar because the band was playing still expected to pay cover which I think it's ridiculous if you are staying there ,we weren't planning to stay for the show just wanted a coffee.

Would be nice for more amenities supplied but what they did offer was enough. I think I would have appreciated a box of tissues so I didn't have to use the toilet paper, but that's a minor complaint. It does not have an elevator so people with accessibility issues should be aware of this. The room does get cold fast if you're not running the little radiator. Overall, rather small issues, value for money :)

It was very easy to check in. The room was old, but very tidy and clean and had all the things I needed for my stay. The location can't be beat for the price. Very well soundproofed from the live performances downstairs, just the street outside is where the noise comes from which is typical for downtown Toronto. Comfortable bed and large enough space. I chose to have my own bathroom which was worth it.

Room on 3rd floor with no elevator.

The breakfast was satisfactory.

The walls could use some paint.

The restaurant & music was special. Awesome

Stayed in December 2024

Could use some updates , bedding , pillows , maybe a throw rug .

Convenience, easy parking, location, staff, music, affordable. The Rex has been a regular place for us going on 10+ years. Highly recommend.

Complimentary tea/ coffee etc only available from 9.30am and no facility to make own hot drinks in the hotel

Good value hotel in downtown Toronto - lively area with lots of places nearby to eat. Charming hotel

The need to ascend steep stairs and the room was rather small (but OK for a single night, as we had booked).

Our stay was great value for money. The room was quiet and comfortable, although there was no view. The staff were very helpful and informative.

Stayed in October 2024

the stairs are quite small to carry large suitcases (keep this in mind if you are travelling with a suitcase). It's difficult to coordinate with others to use the shower.

Quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxing. Very close to downtown Toronto.

Street outside was a little noisy but that's to be expected when you're right in the centre of downtown. I expected it and it didn't bother me, but more fussy people would probably complain.

Great location, check-in staff were very friendly and helpful.

Room too small and bathroom too small

Breakfast was good, server friendly and kind

Breakfast not used -too late opening(9.30h).

Location.

The front desk agent was fine, but not exactly engaging or warm/welcoming. Biggest complaint was that I feel the cover to the club downstairs should be complimentary. I was not expecting to pay the cover and also didn't realize that that show I paid the cover for ended 30 minutes later and that I had to leave and pay another cover later in the evening. I ended up not coming back to the club during my stay and spending money on F&B.

The location was great, room was clean and bed was comfy. It was small, but was all I needed. It felt safe.
