Great little place in the heart of town
This is a great hotel in the heart of Toronto. I believe there could not be a better location, I could walk everywhere I needed to be (U of T, Eaton Centre, CN, Toronto Island Ferry, Union Station). The price for this location can not be beaten. The Rex is a legendry Jazz Bar, this means sometimes, during the evening, I could hear the Jazz downstairs, but this didnt bother me because apart from I got to hear good jazz for free, I was out every evening and the jazz had finished by 11pm. I believe some rooms don't hear the jazz. The hotel is individual and unique and family owned, I would much rather give a business like that my money than the big chains located nearby. I booked a double room with ensuite, it was bigger than I expected. The room was clean and I could request clean sheets and towels if needed, but it wasn't needed. I didn't request the room to be cleaned (as was offered) because it didn't need it. The communal areas are cleaned daily. All staff I dealt with were knowledgeable and polite. If I needed anything, there was always someone on hand to help. The Rex provide free coffee each morning. I chose to pay a few dollars extra to upgrade breakfast to avocado & egg on sourdough, more breakfast meals were available. Would I stay here again? Of course I would. Would I recommend this to you? If you have read my review then you can make your own mind up, but I have no issues recommending it if you understand this is a unique place. Thanks for a good stay Rex staff!

Cool, old hotel in a very convenient location. We could walk to a ton of restaurants, Rogers Place, CN Tower, Aquarium, etc. Staff were friendly and helpful at the hotel and the Rex Jazz bar. The rooms were small and cozy. My only recommendation is bring ear plugs as you can hear the jazz band in the bar if you go to bed before 11. Overall a great stay.

I stayed on the first floor. Below the hotel is the Rex Jazz bar and restaurant. At night, when a jazz band played, it was loud enough through the floor, that you could not sleep. I don’t mind going to bed late but this would certainly be an issue for someone who had to leave early the next day. The room was small but quaint. I had a private bathroom and I thought that while small and tight, it was sufficient for me traveling alone. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.
