Cozy, simple rooms. Perfect if you just need a place to rest your head. Never had to wait for a shared washroom/shower. Never heard any noise from other rooms. Old building, but everything in great shape. Place has character. Don’t expect the Ritz.

Staff are incredibly positive and helpful. The room, for nearly $300/night, all-in, was tiny- double bed pushed against the wall - ancient window AC. Unpainted patched hole in wall. Restaurant and entertainment was fabulous. But the hostel-like rooms are definitely not worth the price.

Nice hotel

The stay was good. Room clean and good for one night stay, Walking distance to many attractions & restaurant. Wasn't expected a nice, basics complemental breakfast. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I subtracted 1 star due to no elevator :( We had to lug our heavy suitcases up the stairs :(

TIFF 50 - September 12th to 13th, 2025

My room was clean and even the shared bathroom was nice. My only gripes are not having a view out the window, that the “mild” chicken wings were more like mid BBQ flavour, the electronic band that was performing, and no chocolate milk and French toast during breakfast. I still had a good stay though. It’s an 8-minute walk from the Princess of Wales Theatre.

This is not your normal modern chain hotel but this is not a bad thing. It has character especially with the Jazz and Blues Bar. Although not in the middle of Downtown it is still in a good location with a 15 minute walk to the CN Tower/Rogers Centre or the subway is very close @ Osgoode. There are a number of good pubs and restaurants close by if you want to venture out.

We stayed at the Rex hotel for 4 nights. It was quite a good experience. The room was clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. Checking in and out was seemless. Walkable to the shopping malls and public transportation. The shared bathroom was okay, but could have been better.

Loved it. Very affordable. The staff is great and my room was good too. Even though I had a shared bathroom, I never ran into anyone at all. Very quiet. I actually look forward to staying here again.

This is my second year coming to Toronto for a concert, and The Rex was a very convenient and affordable hotel in the middle of everything. Only a 10-15 minute walk from Union. I took a single bed room with private shower. Everything was clean as one would expect. Would recommend for a single person coming for a short stay

Awesome location; a real community feel

Great and affordable place to stay! You can feel how this hotel and bar is a labour of love. The rooms aren’t fancy, but if you’re looking for a good location and enjoy the jazz, I highly recommend Rex.

We stayed in a (compact) basic room with private bathroom. It was good value for the great location. We walked to most things, though the hotel is also very handy for the streetcar which stops right outside and also a few mins to the subway. We could hear the jazz as we were above the club, which was fine for us but may bother early or light sleepers.
