The perfect place to stay in Toronto

Perfect stay at The Annex, everyone was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Checked in online so I had a code for the door and it was all super easy, even though there was a reception and someone was there to help if needed. Bed was really comfortable, which after a long flight was very welcome. Lovely neighbourhood and great cafe/bar downstairs. 3 minute walk to the metro, but a world away from downtown

A very cool place to stay with great vibe. Numerous restaurants around and on the edge of Toronto’s famous Bloor St. Room was well fitted and far from conventional - perfect for solo travelling as well as couples - staff very helpful. Definitely stay again.
