Top hotels in The Annex
The Yorkville Royal Sonesta Hotel Toronto
"Everyrhing about this hotel k's lovely except for the food. The restaurant is not up to the food standards of what you'd expect in a hotel like the Sonesta. The wait staff is incredible and accommodating but the food was not the best culinary experience."

Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre by IHG
"Go next door to Loblaws for your meals because the price for the quality at this hotel really doesn't add up. $30 for a mediocre buffet breakfast?! Nope! Will never do that again. But the beds were comfortable. Room was noisy with lots of sirens outside all night."
