The Annex

Fantastic boutique hotel and the staff are awesome! Great room, very clean and functional, and the shower is amazing!! No TV in my room and at first I was a bit disappointed...but I picked up one of the books in the room and I will finish the novel on my 3rd night! Have 2 more nights to try more of the terrific restaurants on Bloor street. Thanks to Lyian for working her magic to book my stay on 5 days short notice! I will definitely stay here next year when I am in town for PDAC conference. Cheers, G

Great place to stay

The speakers and comfortable bed

It was just okay. You get what you pay for. Cleanliness was subpar, the rooms feel like a DIY job of low quality, yet trendy carpentry - think plywood with exposed heads of deck screws throughout the room. Ceiling paint is flaking off in the bathroom. No elevator. I was disturbed while I was sleeping by an attendant knocking repeatedly at my door who needed to replace batteries in my door lock mechanism. The walls have poor sound-proofing, which I attribute to the older building. I could hear a family in the hotel either next door, or beneath me - every single word of their conversation. Furthermore, I could hear footsteps in the hallway all hours, even with my headphones in the vibrations of footsteps could be felt. It’s suitable for a short stay, and if attention to detail and cleanliness doesn’t matter too much.

This may seem a little strange...but I have not stayed there yet BUT I just had a fantastic experience with an employee at Annex. I tried to book online but the internet was fighting me...so I call the from dest and Lilian answered and in 15 minutes she had me booked at a great price, and now I am really looking forward to my stay later this week. THX Lilian- and I can not believe it is only your second week on the job!! Great work!! Cheers, Graeme

The Annex was chosen for convenience. I think it is overpriced for what you get. The bed is comfy, the fan for the heat was the loudest I have ever heard(several complaints in past on this). There is no heat in the shower, which also has a toilet - unique. They charged us for someone else bar items, and offered no apology. They did refund that part after an investigation, but expectation would be drinks on them for this inconvenience. I would not recommend, but if you come, bring ear plugs, and don't expect much friendliness from staff. SC
