This was our second time staying at the Sylvia. It’s definitely older and not as fancy but it has a lot of charm, the staff is amazing and the location is unbeatable especially for the price! Would definitely recommend!

Hotel is lovely older heritage building sitting with a miraculous view of English Bay and the mountains. The restaurant serves a hearty breakfast at a reasonable pirce to set one up for the day with equally good views of English Bay. Staff is uniformly helpful and friendly. TOnly dowside is the elevators are a little small

Sylvia Hotel has a lovely vintage feel, with a beautiful view of English Bay. The restaurant in the hotel is warm and inviting, with exceptional servers and good food. The area around the hotel is very quiet and serene, with a walking path along the water at its doorstep. I would definitely stay here again.

This was the perfect hotel to stay at for a weekend getaway. Easy walking access to the seawall and Stanley Park, or in to downtown - lots of food and coffee nearby. The room was great, very comfy beds, the staff were excellent and you cannot beat the views from the restaurant.

Very nice

Good location. Friendly staff. Old building but everything in the room was in good condition. Room cleaned everyday. Will be perfect if offering complimentary coffee in the lobby. Parking underground is easy possibly due to winter off seasons, with reasonable price for the downtown location.
