The Rex Hotel

“Much better than expected”

After reading earlier reviews I was quite worried about coming to this hotel so thought I would post what I thought having now stayed 4 nights.

After reading earlier reviews I was quite worried about coming to this hotel so thought I would post what I thought having now stayed 4 nights. No, it isn’t the Hilton but it was also less than half the price. We booked a room with our own bathroom which is a deal breaker for me, The room isn’t massive but as we hardly spend any time in the hotel it was fine. The bed was only a double but very comfortable The bathroom and shower were good. The air conditioning wasn’t the quietest but also not the noisiest we have had. It was fine for us as it is September but could be a pain in the summer as the street is quite noisy A nice surprise was the complimentary breakfast of tea/ coffee, orange juice and toast that is served

Although the Rex Hotel does have some drawbacks, it's an old fashioned type accommodation above a pub. The cons are the traffic noise. The rattly, noisy and struggling A/C window mounted unit, the occasional noise from the jazz bar downstairs and the need to share a bathroom with a number of rooms. However, there are extra stand alone toilets. The Rex Hotel is located in a really vibrant part of Toronto I stayed there on a warm couple of nights in September and the atmosphere was super fun. Plenty of bars, restaurants and clubs all open. The streets were full of people and the area felt very safe to walk about at night. The Rex Hotel has the Osgoode subway station only a few minutes walk away and getting there from Toroto International is a breeze. Take the UP to Union then the subway two stops. Make sure you pick the right subway. It's the yellow one with Osgoode as a station. The Rex is great for a solo traveller who likes a bit of shabby chic.

“Wasn’t the worst”

It wasn’t good but not bad. Personal I think you get what you pay for but the Rex wasn’t that bad the phots on the wall where cool and the rooms where decent. You have everything you need and I didn’t spend like an afternoon there but it was a good place to sleep at night. The Jazz music underneath… more

It wasn’t good but not bad. Personal I think you get what you pay for but the Rex wasn’t that bad the phots on the wall where cool and the rooms where decent. You have everything you need and I didn’t spend like an afternoon there but it was a good place to sleep at night. The Jazz music underneath the hotel wasn’t that bad. I do recommend asking for a room with a bathroom so you don’t have to share with random people. The key card works 95% of the time and it wasn’t bad. If I had to o would stay here again.
