Great Location at Affordable Rate & Clean
It was a simple room, but very clean and ideal for the price being located in the core of the city. Great venue, great jazz and great location.

Not bad for the price and location of the hotel
Breakfast does not start until 9:30 am which was too late for me. I have meetings start at 8 or 9 am.
I stayed on the 2nd floor and 1st floor was the Jazz Club which stays open until midnight..
Room is clean and nice. For the price I paid and the location of the hotel, I would stay another time if I travel alone.

Fine crash pad
I just needed a clean place to crash after long workdays and for that it was fine. Good for one person but two would have been cramped. Great location. No frills but clean.

Short visit due to snow storm - great experience
I booked one night at The Rex to avoid commuting during a snow storm. The property was very close to my office and affordable. Staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The live jazz was a nice treat. The room was small and minimal but clean and comfortable. Would stay again and have recommended to others.

The music at the Jazz bar was great, as was the food service. Although there was no private washroom in my room, the communal shower was gorgeous.
Having hooks for towels, or a towel bar, in the room would be helpful.

I recommend :)
This is my second time in Rex Hotel. It's affordable, located in a great neighbourhood, personnel is always friendly and helpful. I was not these to listen to music which is located next to the hotel but foe those who like jazz, that's a plus. It's just that it's a bit loud when people enter in their room since it's a small hotel but it's OK if your plan is not to have a deep sleep 😊
