Just a bed for the night.

I needed a cheap room for the night and this one came out on top. I didn't read the full description about it being a shared bathroom but nonetheless it actually provided a bed for the night, which is Iall I desired! I arrived after the biggest Snow Storm in a few years and the building only has single glazed windows. An Electric Heater was provided, but the room was ice cold on arrival.

The music at the Jazz bar was great, as was the food service. Although there was no private washroom in my room, the communal shower was gorgeous. Having hooks for towels, or a towel bar, in the room would be helpful.

Short visit due to snow storm - great experience

I booked one night at The Rex to avoid commuting during a snow storm. The property was very close to my office and affordable. Staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The live jazz was a nice treat. The room was small and minimal but clean and comfortable. Would stay again and have recommended to others.

I really enjoyed my short stay. The service was friendly and attentive. The room was simple with older furnishing but clean. New clean sheets and blankets. Good for when you need a room on a budget. The hotel is in a great location with lots of restaurants, shops and easy access to the subway.

Great service in an old building

Although I checked in around 11:30 p.m. and the reception was closed, I was glad there were still employees who took care of me once I rang the bell at the front door. The room was clean and the bed has a good width. However, the pillows are way too hard and they are uncomfortable. Lastly, the soundproofing between units and the streets is disappointing given how old the building is. For instance, if emergency vehicles are blaring their sirens on Queen Street West, you will hear them and will not be able to sleep.

I am an older adult with arthritis in my knees which made it very difficult and painful to go up and down the stairs. My room was on the 2nd floor. I appreciate the staff for helping to take my luggage up and down the stairs. Another issue is that one of the door key did not work which caused some inconvenience for the 2nd guest

I liked about the location and the cleanliness. The price is cheaper compared to other hotels so I was OK with shared bathroom. However, there was no breakfast which was a bit upsetting. If you need a quiet place to sleep, you can have problems here since it is a very small place, like a single-person dorm. I stayed for the new year's eve so I did not bother about the noise. Overall, it was a nice stay in terms of its location and cleanliness.
