The Rex Hotel

I have stayed here numerous times. Great location on Queen Street in downtown Toronto, 15 to 20 minute walk from so much - Roger's Centre, Kensington Market, AGO, the Quay on the Lake Ontario waterfront, and much more. Many great restaurants nearby, and a subway station 1 block away if needed. If you are ok with a simple very small room with minimum furnishings (bed, table, chair, bath/shower can be private or shared), and want a great price for a Toronto hotel - this is the place for you. And there is a bonus - the REX is a renowned jazz venue and there are jazz performances every night at 5pm and 8pm, with no cover charge for hotel guests.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Rex Jazz Bar Hotel in Toronto. We were pleasantly surprised by the beautifully renovated room, especially considering the age and character of the building. The bathroom had been completely updated with a modern shower, toilet, and sink, and everything was spotless. The bed was very comfortable, making for a great night's sleep. The only downside was that there is no elevator. However, carrying our luggage up to the second floor wasn't a major inconvenience. We also wished we could have spent more time enjoying the live jazz performance in the bar downstairs. The singer was excellent, but we had an early morning departure to Montreal, so we had to call it a night earlier than we would have liked. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend the Rex Jazz Bar Hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable hotel with plenty of character and a fantastic live jazz atmosphere.

Clean and comfortable .Great breakfast, including the service. Location is unbeatable. Excellent value. Perfect for music lovers.
