Just writing to thank my new friends of The Rex Hotel, specially Bob, for my stay there. It's been one month since my arrival in Toronto, going for a 3 days business trip and a lost baggage at the airport. Only with my notebook I arrived at Rex Hotel 6 hours before my check in. With one rooms available, it... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Rex during our stay in Toronto, visiting family. We booked up for just under 2 weeks and didn't want to leave! The staff were fantastic - very attentive and yet didn't harass you at the same time. The room, although small, had everything you could want, including a sink, mirror and A/C. With... More

My husband and I were in town for a Pearl Jam concert and just wanted a nice place to have some drinks and sleep. I book several months in advance as the TIFF was to take place during the same time. The staff were all really nice and were happy to answer all my questions. The room was small but... More

There... More

After a whole evening spent at the bar of this hotel, they added drinks to our bill that we didn't drink... The bill was at least doubled... At the end they didn't even listen to us... Do not go there!!We got ripped off here and there are plenty other nice hotels on this street. To have a drink you'll have... More

We stayed here for two weeks at the start of our year in Canada. On arrival we walked in through the bar which was a bit off-putting but there is a separate entrance for the hotel. We had two different rooms over our stay and both were fine. The air-con is effective, there was plenty of space and the rooms... More

The Rex is an alternative to the major hotels you find in downtown Toronto for sure. It is a small recently remodeled hotel above the premier Jazz club in Toronto. It fit our budget at 119/night (vs. 200+ for all other downtown hotels). The room was small and the furnishings were spare, but it was clean and quiet and the... More
