Rezervoni këtë nëse You want to pretend you're a cool Toronto local with a loft apartment, not a tourist in a hotel.

Pse Njerëzit E Duan

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

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

Rishikuar nga @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.

Mysafiri Që Qëndroi Këtu Tha

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

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.

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.

5 gjëra që duhet të dini përpara se të niseni

💡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.
