The Annex is fantastic! Super friendly staff, easy check-in/out, great location and super fun rooms. There are only stairs. Honestly, the staff was beyond amazing!

Loved the minimalist look and feel of our room! Clean, bright and spare - in a good way. Staff and guests skew young, but that gives the place nice energy. Surprisingly quiet - well, there was that one night and that one couple ;) No elevator, so might be a challenge for some. Close to Bathurst station, Metro for groceries, Trendy Wash for laundry, and countless cafes and bars.

The Annex Hotel has genuinely mastered elegant minimalism — every detail is designed to make things easy and efficient, without ever feeling cold or impersonal. From check-in to check-out over my four-night stay, nothing was hard. What stood out even more was the human touch backing it all up, vis a vis a real staff member I met in person sent me messages, which made the whole experience feel uniquely attentive rather than automated. The front desk, café, and bar staff were so charming and welcoming that within a day it felt like I’d known them for years — maybe that’s Toronto people in general, but this team took it to another level. The shower in the room was such an exquisite experience I could have stayed in for hours. And the lobby bar deserves its own mention: the custom whiskey sour was a work of art, as good to look at as it was to drink. Special shoutout to Lily and Emma, who exemplified personality and sincerely welcoming customer service throughout my stay. This isn’t a place that settles for the avg is good enough bar of travel expectations — everything here felt intentional. My only note, and a minor one, is that I’d love non-feather pillows/comforters — which was so minor I never even checked but likely they have them available. My compliments to the staff and ownership for creating a stay that felt peaceful and genuinely like home. Mega recommend, and I’d love to see more Annexes around the world — I’d be a very loyal guest. Kudos!

Loved this hotel. It’s in the middle of the action but you can’t hear ANYTHING at night. Super comfy beds, convenient and reasonably priced mini bar and room service. The record player, Bluetooth speaker and books were also a nice touch. Will definitely be going back.

I love staying at the annex. I’ve been there several times as soon as close to my nephew’s place. I feel so comfortable and at home in the rooms and just love the café downstairs. It’s close to so many wonderful places!

The annex was a great find! The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and the room service went until 11pm which was great after coming back from seeing a late show. The staff were very kind and helpful with any questions we had. We will definitely be returning again next time we stay over in Toronto.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights to catch a World Cup game. The hotel itself is nice and well kept, but it's a bit of a whacky system we weren't prepared for and given what we paid, I would stay elsewhere next time. The good: - friendly staff - clean and spacious rooms (although wee towels) - stocked minifridge - in a cute neighborhood The kinda strange: - in lieu of a TV, there's a pretty outdated ipad in the room that serves as your entertainment station. We weren't able to connect to Netflix at all and the battery died faster than it could charge. - no housekeeping unless requested with a stocked closet for you to DIY when needed - they have a cafe but it doesn't open until 8am so you can't get coffee unless you venture off property or wait until 8 None of the "strange' things are "bad" - but when I pay a premium, I hope to at least be able to get a cup of coffee when I wake up and have better functioning amenities.

The ceiling in the wetroom was peeling and could do with some maintenance, but the place overall is otherwise perfect! Really handy location, spacious room equipped with all the amenities you could need, comfy bed, helpful staff.
