Awesome location; a real community feel

Great and affordable place to stay! You can feel how this hotel and bar is a labour of love. The rooms aren’t fancy, but if you’re looking for a good location and enjoy the jazz, I highly recommend Rex.

We stayed in a (compact) basic room with private bathroom. It was good value for the great location. We walked to most things, though the hotel is also very handy for the streetcar which stops right outside and also a few mins to the subway. We could hear the jazz as we were above the club, which was fine for us but may bother early or light sleepers.

The Jazz club and restaurant are adjacent and well worth the visit. Location excellent. Room clean but dated. Not for long time stay but excellent for overnight if walkability and convenience are what you need when visiting Toronto.

A cool little spot with lovely staff. Every person there was super kind and helpful. The bed was really firm, but we slept fine. It was the perfect spot to crash for a night after a concert in the city. Excellent value as well. I would definitely return.
