The perfect place to stay in Toronto

Perfect stay at The Annex, everyone was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Checked in online so I had a code for the door and it was all super easy, even though there was a reception and someone was there to help if needed. Bed was really comfortable, which after a long flight was very welcome. Lovely neighbourhood and great cafe/bar downstairs. 3 minute walk to the metro, but a world away from downtown

A very cool place to stay with great vibe. Numerous restaurants around and on the edge of Toronto’s famous Bloor St. Room was well fitted and far from conventional - perfect for solo travelling as well as couples - staff very helpful. Definitely stay again.

Comfortable and clean accomodations. I visited to see a concert at the Axis Club and enjoyed sleeping in a quieter area of the city than some other options. The only thing I missed was having a coffee maker in the room, but staff let me know afterward that coffee and tea was available for guests. Wish I got that note ahead of time but maybe I missed it! Overall excellent experience anyways and would stay again. The room smelled beautifully as well which is noteworthy in an older building especially!
