The property is dated but this adds to its charm. Floors in the rooms are hard flooring and not carpet which is lovely. Rooms are simple and are as shown. Location is excellent. FYI: Property is not accessible (stairs) and rooms are small. Temperature control is challenging (AC didn’t work and windows don’t open). Staff are lovely and very accommodating. If you are looking for basic accommodation in a great part of town with ease of access to subway with many places walkable distance then consider this property.

Liked: Staff & service
We had a mixed experience at The Rex Hotel. On the positive side, the staff were absolutely lovely — friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel also has a unique charm and a quirky character that sets it apart from more generic options in the city. That said, the rooms are definitely in need of a revamp. While the character is there, the decor and facilities feel quite dated and stale. One major downside was that the windows can’t be opened, which made the rooms feel stuffy. The air conditioning unit didn’t help much either — more of a noisy fan than actual cooling. Unfortunately, our stay ended on a frustrating note. The water was shut off to the entire building without any notice, and we were told multiple times that it would be back in 5–10 minutes. After waiting over 40 minutes, we had no choice but to leave and find somewhere else just to use basic bathroom and shower facilities — not ideal when you're traveling. With some upgrades to the rooms and better communication around building issues, The Rex could be a great spot. But as it stands, it’s a bit of a hit-or-miss experience.

The room had everything I needed and the receptionist was very accommodating as I had to check in a bit early. The free toast and coffee breakfast was also good and it was a plus for me to be able to hear some jazz music from the bar. I would recommend this hotel to my friends!

The room was terrible. The air conditioning unit was right next to your face when in bed and it was noisy. We only stayed one night, but if we had to stay another night I would have checked out. We were told there was no lift and had to carry our bags up and down two floors it needs to be highlighted there are no lifts. We were in our mid 60’s.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was great. Wasn't able to check out the jazz bar but could hear the music and loved it. Rooms were clean and shared bathrooms were also spotless. Check in was an easy process and accessing the hotel and room with the key card was also simple. My only complaint was that the wifi, while it did connect, rarely provided internet. But my stay was so short that I didn’t inquire about fixing it so no point deduction.

Cozy, simple rooms. Perfect if you just need a place to rest your head. Never had to wait for a shared washroom/shower. Never heard any noise from other rooms. Old building, but everything in great shape. Place has character. Don’t expect the Ritz.

Staff are incredibly positive and helpful. The room, for nearly $300/night, all-in, was tiny- double bed pushed against the wall - ancient window AC. Unpainted patched hole in wall. Restaurant and entertainment was fabulous. But the hostel-like rooms are definitely not worth the price.

Nice hotel

The stay was good. Room clean and good for one night stay, Walking distance to many attractions & restaurant. Wasn't expected a nice, basics complemental breakfast. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I subtracted 1 star due to no elevator :( We had to lug our heavy suitcases up the stairs :(

TIFF 50 - September 12th to 13th, 2025

My room was clean and even the shared bathroom was nice. My only gripes are not having a view out the window, that the “mild” chicken wings were more like mid BBQ flavour, the electronic band that was performing, and no chocolate milk and French toast during breakfast. I still had a good stay though. It’s an 8-minute walk from the Princess of Wales Theatre.
