A very cool place to stay with great vibe. Numerous restaurants around and on the edge of Toronto’s famous Bloor St. Room was well fitted and far from conventional - perfect for solo travelling as well as couples - staff very helpful. Definitely stay again.

Comfortable and clean accomodations. I visited to see a concert at the Axis Club and enjoyed sleeping in a quieter area of the city than some other options. The only thing I missed was having a coffee maker in the room, but staff let me know afterward that coffee and tea was available for guests. Wish I got that note ahead of time but maybe I missed it! Overall excellent experience anyways and would stay again. The room smelled beautifully as well which is noteworthy in an older building especially!

The Annex is a trendy & quiet place, with easy access from Union! We loved the unique artwork and design of the room. Also the HUGE windows and all of the light! There were so many great restaurants and cafés to choose from as well as bars and music. We wnjoyed the coffee and breakfast in the cafe in the morning, and the staff were very kind. Highly recommend! We will be staying again.

It’s stylish, it’s cute, the check in and check out process is easy and the staff is lovely. The air in the room is a little too dry and too warm for my liking, but I was able to adjust the temperature before going to sleep. Great option if you are going out in the area. Does it worth $300/night?! Provably not…but everything costs an outrageous amount these days and you gotta pay people to run it. I have stayed here twice now and will likely do so again. It is a great option in the Annex neighbourhood!
