Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want to feel like a cool Toronto local with a record player in your room, not a tourist in a generic glass tower.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
Keyless, contactless entry feels like unlocking your own apartment
In-room record players with curated vinyl (Drake, obviously)
Raffaella, the on-site NY-style pizzeria, is a legitimate neighborhood hotspot
Γρήγορη Ματιά: A hipster crash pad that trades front desk service for vibes, iPads, and excellent pizza.
Αξιολόγηση από @TrvlHaus: I stayed at The Annex and it's easily my favorite spot in Toronto. The hidden entrance gives it such a cool, exclusive vibe. I spent my morning sipping coffee on the patio and just soaking in the quiet. If you love design and privacy, this is the place.
Ο Επισκέπτης που Έμεινε Εδώ Είπε
The hype
Travelers love the 'home away from home' aesthetic and the super-comfortable Tempur-Pedic beds.
Reality check
The 'contactless' service is great until you have a problem and can't find a human immediately.
You hate waiting in check-in lines and prefer texting for service
You appreciate minimalist design and Aesop-style toiletries
You want to stay in a real neighborhood, not the financial district

Maintenance: New-ish renovation means things are generally in top shape; minor scuffs on hallway walls.
Linens & towels: High-quality Egyptian cotton sheets and fluffy towels.
Odors & scents: Fresh, custom woodsy scent in common areas; no musty carpet smells.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές

Is there really no front desk?
Correct. It's a virtual front desk. You text them for anything you need, and they are surprisingly responsive.

Is breakfast included?
No, but there's a continental spread available for a surcharge ($5-20 CAD) and great coffee downstairs.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, it's pet-friendly with a $50 CAD fee per stay. They even have dog treats.
Is there a TV?
No. You get a 13-inch iPad Pro. If you want to watch a movie on a big screen, bring a laptop or projector.
Is the area safe?
Yes, The Annex is a vibrant, safe, student-heavy neighborhood. It's lively but not dangerous.
Εσωτερικές Συμβουλές
✨
The 'Wine Bar' in the lobby transforms into a moody, candlelit spot at night – perfect for a nightcap without leaving the building.
✨
Ask for the 'Daniel's Room' if you want to see the space curated by Daniel Caesar (if available/still active).
✨
The Green P parking lot next door is much cheaper than finding a private garage further away.
5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The 'wet room' bathroom design looks cool but can leave the entire floor damp – watch your socks.
💡The scent in the lobby is custom and very specific (leathery/woodsy) – people either love it or hate it.
💡You might run into local artists or musicians in the lobby; it's a genuine industry hangout.
💡The stairs are steep; seriously, don't bring a massive suitcase.
💡The blackout blinds are actually effective, which is rare for boutique hotels with big windows.
