Basic, but decent and clean rooms, friendly staff and a great breakfast. Some decent craft beer on, too. Don't expect an early night though, the jazz goes on 'til late!

If you like jazz/blues, and if you are from anywhere, you should make a point to go to the Rex. The acts there are consistently first rate, the beer is cold, and the food is well-prepared.

Grab a beer, sit by the bar and listen meet some great people pre-show by the bar. Great avenue to meet fellow jazz peeps 🎺
Danielle BohyOctober 20, 2014
Awesome music. Great vibe. The Chili and Cheese is only ok. Definitely check this spot out if you like jazz or blues.

Best jazz club we've found in Toronto. If it's open jam or a scheduled performance, check it out!

Music is great but we couldnt find any seat so we had to leave after a while

Good place for live jazz. Also have pretty cheap rooms there.
Paula MadeiraMarch 26, 2023
Expensive like all the hotels in downtown Toronto, but the room and bathroom (in-suite) were clean, it was quiet and the location is awesome. Lame complementary breakfast and no stairs.

Nice atmosphere and good music. Service is quick but you don't get to see the staff smile.
Wen-Hao LueAugust 11, 2010
Easily the best Jazz club in Toronto. Only warning is the volume (try not to sit too close to the front), and the ketchup (it tastes a bit off). Otherwise, their $2.75 plate of fries is killer.

Enjoying the Roy Assof trio and the Mill Street Organic

Live music is great on a Sunday afternoon accompanied by a pint or two of Tankhouse.

Good music and lively atmosphere
Armando MartzAugust 16, 2014
The worst service ever, the place is great and the jazz excelent, but the waitresses are very unpolite and they got mad every time we ask them for something
Bruno BritoNovember 18, 2012
Very good music and nice prices. Try the Sweet Potato Fries!
Bobo ChuckleworthAugust 13, 2014

Gotta go to The Rex Jazz & Blues Bar & order the Chocolate Cadillac Cheesecake...it's to die for! Read more
Gareth SeltzerOctober 12, 2011
Never order the wings! Worst in the city. Like pigeon wings. Tiny, soft and each appears to have been hit be a car. Every wing had the bones broken so hard to eat. Like eating smashed Lego pieces.
