I am used to staying in all classes of hotels, but I have never stopped in a flophouse until now. I see a number of high reviews and note with interest that more than a couple are from folks who live in Toronto, maybe they are the homeless!! The rooms are tiny and although it looks like they were recently... More

I stayed there the end of October for 1 night. Awesome hotel with plain, but very comfortable rooms. Clean and nice. The people, bar and music are awesome. I had a fun time at the bar chatting with people and listening to the music. They make everyone feel at home and comfortable.

The hotel is upstairs one of the trendiest and famous jazz var in Toronto : The Rex. But this is just a detail. The best here is the staff: super friendly, mega gay-friendly and always ready for you. They are like a family and they make you feel part of it. Also, the rooms are clean and confy. I recommend!

If you're looking for a good location in town and a cool place to stay, that's it! When my husband and I came to this hotel, we were not expecting much, then the owner of the hotel Mister Bob, opened the doors of the bar witch is on the first floor, we took photos with him, and then he let... More

Hotel is basic, but nicely renovated and a third to a quarter the price of neighbouring hotels. The food is very good, and selection of beers on tap good. Of course for blues and jazz entertainment, the hotel is excellent as well. All in all, a decent place for the price, and even comfortable for a small family.

Perfect downtown location and great value. I stayed in 217 which has 2 double beds. The sheets and towels were clean but the bathroom definitely was not. Lots of hair and there was mold around the shower. The biggest problem was the temperature of the room, it was SO cold and no thermostat since it's heater by a radiator. I... More

Stayed on the second floor, likely a benefit for distance from the wonderful music downstairs. Street noise can be problematic, but tolerable. Clean room and linens, shower only in my room but nicely done. Good internet service at no extra charge. I would stay here again.

Nice small private hotel, simple no frills in a really bohemian part of Toronto. Aim for a second floor room but beware there is no lift..! Small rooms but you should be out seeing the sights. Free toast and coffee for breakfast of pay for a cooked. Excellent music over dinner with a good selection of beers.

If you're the kind of person who would rather stay in the heart of the city and is willing to sacrifice comfort, The Rex is your hotel. It's location on Queen St W is nothing short of awesome--there is so much going on just outside the door, it's amazing. Interesting restaurants and shops are all within a few steps. There... More
