This is the perfect location to get out and view the city with a beautiful view of English Harbor and lots of great restaurants to choose from close by. Very, very glad we decided to stay at this location for our trip.

Quirky hotel, yes it's old with no air conditioning but none of that mattered. Staff all friendly, great location for Stanley Park and right on English Bay. About 30-40 minute walk to Canada Place but public bus 5/6 2 mins walk from hotel. Easy access to airport no. 5/6 bus to Yaletown Roundhouse then Canada Line to airport. Approx 50 mins total.

The Sylvia hotel has an outward old school historic charm and is in an incredible location with English Bay straight out the front door. That is the only reason to go there. The rooms are old and worn. The TV doesn’t turn on, the beds have not been replaced for at least a decade, and the decor is from the 70s. Parking is not included, and the nightly rate (once all the fees are added) is outrageous given its dilapidated state.

Having a holiday within "history" is always fascinating as you think back to the changes the hotel has seen. The Sylvia Hotel is a great place to stay if that idea interests you.

Lovely old hotel with a great outlook towards English Bay. Impressed with the restaurant menu. It’s also reasonably walkable to most places or there’s buses handy.
