The Annex

$150-250 / ليلة

احجز هذا إذا You want to pretend you're a cool Toronto local with a loft apartment, not a tourist in a hotel.

لماذا يحبها الناس

Contactless 'invisible service' that actually works via text
Curated vinyl collection and record players in every room
Design-forward aesthetic that feels like a high-end Airbnb

نظرة سريعة: A hipster haven that trades traditional hotel amenities (TVs, elevators, front desks) for vibes, vinyl, and iPads.

تمت المراجعة بواسطة @TrvlHaus: I stayed at The Annex and honestly, it felt more like a cool apartment than a hotel. The record player was such a vibe, and I actually got work done at that huge desk. Perfect spot if you want to feel like a local in Toronto.

قال الضيوف الذين أقاموا هنا

The hype

Travelers rave about the comfortable beds and the cool, non-corporate atmosphere.

Reality check

The 'contactless' concept frustrates guests who just want to speak to a human immediately when something goes wrong.

You hate waiting in line at front desks
You appreciate local art and good coffee over a hotel gym
You want to stay in a real neighborhood, not a tourist trap

النظافة والصيانة

Housekeeping: On request mostly, but thorough when they come. 'Superb cleanliness' is a common review phrase.
Bathroom hygiene: pristine tile and grout, though the open wet-room design means water can splash out.
Maintenance: Generally excellent, though some wear on the vintage building elements is expected.
Linens & towels: High-quality Egyptian cotton sheets and fluffy towels.
Odors & scents: Fresh, often scented with a custom woodsy/leathery fragrance, no mustiness.

الأسئلة الشائعة والنصائح المخفية

كل ما تحتاج حقًا معرفته قبل الحجز

Is there really no front desk?

Correct. It's keyless entry. Staff are available via text message 24/7 if you need them.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, it's very pet-friendly. Dogs up to 25lbs are welcome for a $50 fee.

Is there a gym?

No. You'll need to find a local studio or go for a run in the neighborhood.

What about breakfast?

There's a continental breakfast available for a surcharge, usually served in the commons area.

How do I watch TV?

You don't. You use the provided iPad Pro to stream content or listen to vinyl records.

Is it loud?

It can be. It's an old building in a busy area. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

نصائح حصرية

✨
Text the staff for *anything*—they can drop off extra pillows, toiletries, or local tips surprisingly fast.
✨
The 'wet room' shower floor can get slippery; use the extra towels as a bath mat.
✨
Use the blackout blinds immediately upon arrival if you don't want the parking lot attendants to see you change.

5 أشياء يجب معرفتها قبل الذهاب

💡The sink is often in the bedroom, which is awkward if your partner is sleeping.
💡You might make eye contact with someone smoking in the alley while brushing your teeth.
💡The 'closet' is often just an open rack or peg rail.
💡The scent of the custom candles/toiletries is incredible and very distinct.
💡The stairs are steep—hauling a 50lb suitcase up to the 3rd floor is a workout.
