Nice funky place, the staff is excellent and helpful and the jazz club features lots of good performers. Free coffee and toast are great in the morning, with a reasonably priced menu. I was on the second floor, right above the jazz club, but the music isn't too loud, ends relatively early, and I actually enjoyed listening through the floor. Great budget hotel.

Fine crash pad

I just needed a clean place to crash after long workdays and for that it was fine. Good for one person but two would have been cramped. Great location. No frills but clean.

Ok, this place is definitely old & a little beat & could use an upgrade. There r no phones in the rooms. My room faced Queen st & it was really loud . I was also right above the band & it was loud. On the other hand it was cheap & I felt safe & the staff were all nice. Plus the location is central.

I recommend :)

This is my second time in Rex Hotel. It's affordable, located in a great neighbourhood, personnel is always friendly and helpful. I was not these to listen to music which is located next to the hotel but foe those who like jazz, that's a plus. It's just that it's a bit loud when people enter in their room since it's a small hotel but it's OK if your plan is not to have a deep sleep 😊
