Good basic hotel, if all you’re looking for is somewhere to get your head down for the night. Would’ve been nice to have a door on the bathroom rather than just a curtain.

You Get What You Pay For
The Rex is a bit like a cleaner hostel with the option to have your own bathroom. But, what's important to note, is that the sheets and towels were all clean, the shower had good pressure and hot water, the bathroom was clean, and the air conditioning worked. They even give you extra pillows from the outset. That said, the walls are stained and full of nail holes, the furniture damaged, and the room very small. But you're also paying a third of what you would at a normal hotel. And the location is on point. If you just need a bed and a shower because you'll be out all night having fun anyways, I say go for it. I would stay there again. Why pay more for aesthetics?

Bare bones but clean, safe, convenient, & comfortable. Jazz club & restaurant are added bonuses that shouldn't be missed.

Access to hotel is at side of building and no-one was at desk at 8 am when we hoped to drop off bags. Grateful there was someone working in bar downstairs that helped us and accommodated our request. Loved that hotel is centrally located and price point is excellent. Police station just down the block and City hall also short distance away.

The location was centrally located for walking to everything we planned during our visit to Toronto. The rooms are small, but clean and the bed was comfortable. It would have been nice to have something other than a folding chair in the room, but we made it work. We would most likely stay here again on another visit to the city!

Good location...but rooms are in rough shape.
Older rooms, in pretty shabby condition, which I sort of expected based on pictures. OVERWHELMING smell of cleaning product to the point I had to open window and leave the room. ...which was odd considering the hotel itself was not super clean. Great location. Staff were nice.
