The location was centrally located for walking to everything we planned during our visit to Toronto. The rooms are small, but clean and the bed was comfortable. It would have been nice to have something other than a folding chair in the room, but we made it work. We would most likely stay here again on another visit to the city!

Good location...but rooms are in rough shape.
Older rooms, in pretty shabby condition, which I sort of expected based on pictures. OVERWHELMING smell of cleaning product to the point I had to open window and leave the room. ...which was odd considering the hotel itself was not super clean. Great location. Staff were nice.

Liked: Staff & service
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, there’s no fancy soaps or showers. It’s old and yet charming in its own way. It’s very walkable right from union station. Stayed the night after a concert and it was a perfect spot to sleep It will probably be my go to for concert events that require overnight stays. My only critique is the service at the restaurant very slow and unattractive. There are lots of restaurant options in the area and I should have taken a walk down the street but I was looking for convenience. Consider other spots.

Small but clean rooms that's in the heart of downtown. Bathrooms are communal (& the hallways aren't the cleanest), but the individual room was clean & had a sink. Nice A/C unit as well to keep the room cool at night. The staff were friendly & let you store your bags on checkout for the day if needed. This hotel is in the heart of downtown, I was able to walk to Massey Hall, the Eaton Centre, and several other attractions within 15 minutes, highly recommend if you're a solo traveller!!

Not a fancy luxurious hotel, just enough to stay the night. If you’re travelling to Toronto for sightseeing and not relaxation in a hotel, The Rex Hotel is your best bet, great way to save on money. We stayed there for one night as 2 small young women, completely satisfied with the service, felt very safe staying there. Clean room, small complimentary breakfast included, no complains. In walkable distance to everything you would want to explore in Downtown. Multiple dining options nearby, also there is a cafe right next to it. Would definitely recommend and would visit again.

Rex Hotel
When we arrived, there was no welcome and an indifference by the one at reception. Not good for hospitality. During our 3-night stay, that same person often smoked int eh doorway, forcing us to walk through a cloud of smoke coming and going. I believe Toronto has a law restricting smoking in entrances up to 9 meters. The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable and the air conditioner rattled through the night, waking me up at times. The room could use a paint job. The bathroom needs a towel rack and the toilet paper holder is inconveniently located 180 degrees behind the person as he sits. "Breakfast" was inconsistent and skimpy--two pieces of toast with coffee and juice, but sometimes coffee or juice. Why they call this breakfast is beyond me. Would not return.

This hotel is in a great location and the staff were lovely. The jazz club is loud but ends at a reasonable time, and the performances were good so it wasn’t a problem. I had a private bathroom, but I walked by the shared washroom facilities and they looked fine
