The Rex was funky and quirky and just like we like it. The room was small but we had our own bathroom and it was just fine for our quick, one night stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly! Lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

great value as a place to sleep in downtown

Just for a one night stay as transit before heading to Europe, and wanted to be in downtown to get a feel of Toronto. Location is great with this hotel, cheap compared to what was available. The hotel structure and the room is old but what matters the most all checked the boxes : comfy bed, cleanliness and privacy (there are cheaper options with shared bathroom, I got one with private). The lady that helped me check in did it as her job, without much smile or show any willingness to chat. She didn't even understand at first why I could not enter the building ("you need your room badge !" which of course I didn't have). And, after, when you get in and out of the hotel, you must pass by her counter, and she would act as if you don't exist. Not happy to be here obviously, but not going to complain. In all, it's still a great value and I would come back there if Toronto in on my path again.

Nice funky place, the staff is excellent and helpful and the jazz club features lots of good performers. Free coffee and toast are great in the morning, with a reasonably priced menu. I was on the second floor, right above the jazz club, but the music isn't too loud, ends relatively early, and I actually enjoyed listening through the floor. Great budget hotel.

Fine crash pad

I just needed a clean place to crash after long workdays and for that it was fine. Good for one person but two would have been cramped. Great location. No frills but clean.

Ok, this place is definitely old & a little beat & could use an upgrade. There r no phones in the rooms. My room faced Queen st & it was really loud . I was also right above the band & it was loud. On the other hand it was cheap & I felt safe & the staff were all nice. Plus the location is central.

I recommend :)

This is my second time in Rex Hotel. It's affordable, located in a great neighbourhood, personnel is always friendly and helpful. I was not these to listen to music which is located next to the hotel but foe those who like jazz, that's a plus. It's just that it's a bit loud when people enter in their room since it's a small hotel but it's OK if your plan is not to have a deep sleep 😊
