Location basically a hop and skip away from English Bay and the edge of Stanley Park is second to none. We love coming to this location and the food in the restaurant is top notch along with all the employees.

The Sylvia is an old hotel that has updated much without losing its charm. We enjoy staying here.

The staff and the beautiful history and architecture of the hotel are a pleasure. Location for walking from deep in the West end of Vancouver shops, cafes and restaurants is spot on. The ability to step across the road and get onto the sea wall pathway is fantastic. The restaurant is... good... but not necessarily for the young or young at heart.. Being the oldest cocktail lounge in Vancouver.. i feel I was hoping for a lot more than it offered.. but it didn't negatively affect our stay as there is so much available just a short walk away.

Old world elegance. The Sylvia is iconic and our memories will be cherished. We’ll be back!

The room was lovely and very clean, but the bed was like a slab of concrete.

Room large and comfortable

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.

Was such a special location and so much history. Can’t wait to come back!

Clean room Needs Gym and more amenities It has the space

Really beautiful hotel

Location was great and restaurant was very good.

Incredible view from our room - made us just want to gaze and listen to the waves & birds all morning! Very clean and spacious room, and staff was genuinely friendly.

Hotel is nice Great location. Older style building but fairly well maintained and still presents well Service at restaurant was average but food was fairly good. Other than that we enjoyed our stay as a family with 3 kids.

Wonderful location near Stanley park. Hotel has a lovely restaurant overlooking English Bay

We have stayed at the Sylvia many years and love the location! The rooms ard dated and small but nothing beats the location.

So lovely, very clean and accommodating staff

We were in the newer

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.
