Experience was immaculate! Bed was so comfortable and IPad and record player were very nice additions to the room. The bathroom layout was interesting with the toilet and bathtub being in one area and the sink in another, but overall it was very nice!

A unique little property downtown Toronto. Staff is very friendly rooms were very modest but comfortable. Public parking close by walking distance to dozens of attractions.

10/10 Exceptional

What a treat to stay here in Toronto! The space felt so calming and comfortable, with interesting design elements and simplicity of the space without lacking personality. It was genuinely one of the best stays I've had across Canada.

Great place, always happy when I come here the best hotel in the area and maybe in Toronto
arber, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Huge room, comfortable bed, minimalist and chic furnishings. This hotel is in what I imagine was an industrial building. It was a little tattered in places (paint hanging off the bathroom ceiling, corridors drab). Service is efficient but surprisingly minimal (don’t expect a manned check in desk or to have your room serviced).

This was a wonderful place to stay! Right in the heart of the Annex and super close to the ROM and UofT. Easy check-in and out through your own device.
Delaney, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely space; towels were soft, toiletries were very nice, and a cozy bed! Parking behind is very expensive, and while there is no time to explore on my visit, it's a great lively neighbourhood
Talia, 1-night trip

Lots of resturants nearby

Great stay, great atmosphere, kind staff, quiet rooms, abundance of food options as soon as you exit the hotel.

Christina, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

If you don't need to save the money, stay elsewher

Not a terrible stay, but not great. The aesthetic is simple loft living, but the owner's seem to have used that as an excise to allow for genuine dilapidation: mold in the shower grout, peeling paint, the ceiling sagging. Also, the AC system was so loud and inconsistent that it switched to "auto" despite being set for "always on" and woke me up several timea throughout the night as it struggled to turn back on (I'm not a light sleeper).
Michael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Love the Annex Hotel. They need to do a deep cleaning of the bathroom/shower tiling. It would also be amazing if there could be designated parking spots in the Lippencot Green P for hotel guests.
