This was our first stay at this charming boutique hotel. The check-in experience was efficient and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and we did not expect to have a partial view of the ocean so that was wonderful! We love that we were able to open our windows to get the fresh ocean breezes! It’s a fantastic location (steps to the beach and sea wall) and we would definitely come again! I also appreciated having parking on site at a very reasonable price at only $25 per night.

Although this an old hotel, and the halls smell old, it’s a lovely place to stay and I highly recommend staying here! Close to so many amenities and easy walking to buses to downtown and ferries to Granville Island and other attractions. The food in the restaurant is really good with vegetarian/vegan choices at reasonable prices.

The rooms are well apportioned, roomy, and have very comfortable beds. The location is just wonderful for a Vancouver experience. The hotel's history is a nice addition. My only issue is the room fridge compressor was louder than I would have expected.

Beautiful old world charm. Great location. Fabulous room size. I let the staff know there was a strong smell in the bathroom. Apparently, it is the cleaning products used. Another guest was having sensitivity and was letting the staff know. The place was very clean. And the late night check in was not a problem. The staff at night most helpful. I would come back.

By far the best part of this hotel is the location. The beach is a few steps away and if you wish, you can just walk along the path right into Stanley Park in a few minutes. If you're looking for more lively fare, Denman St. is a few steps in the other direction with a dizzying array of shops and restaurants. You can easily have a wonderful vacation only on foot if you're stationed at the Sylvia. In terms of the hotel itself, this is a wonderful place if you love character and history. The room we had was fine. It was clean and had a recently renovated bathroom, but the size, layout, and overall aesthetic are definitely in the "character" column, and you can definitely see signs of the age of the building in the layers of paint on the trim, the lack of A/C (radiator heat) and layout of the room. If you're looking for a lavish hotel room to "veg out" in, this might not be the best choice. As a base of operations for your exploration of Vancouver, I'm not sure you can find a better one. The onsite restaurant/lounge was also fantastic with live music on a number of nights. Even with all the other options available nearby, we ended up at the Sylvia for a nightcap most of the time. Overall, this is the perfect place to use as your starting point in a daily adventure in Vancouver, especially if you appreciate history and character. This will be our go to when visiting Vancouver for sure.
