My little escape was very comfortable. The room wasn’t fancy, but it was large and clean and i slept well. I don’t usually eat much in the hotels where i stay, but the food here was excellent and i ate there everyday.

Wow Sylvia hotel is a hidden treasure with so much history. The staff were all friendly and welcoming in the hotel and restaurant. Close to wonderfull food shops, cafes and Stanley Park. Felt very safe in this neck of the woods.

I stayed one night with my friends to celebrate my birthday. It was one of the nicest stays I’ve had in a Vancouver hotel. And I’m a local. The front desk staff was absolutely amazing. Very friendly, kind and just made you feel at home. We all had such a great time!!

Nice location, but this place is way overrated. I realize it's a historic building, but the walls are paper thin -- I could hear not only my next door neighbors on either side, but also everything in the hallway, and the neighbor across the hall too! If I wanted to feel like I was staying in a hostel, I could have saved a ton of money and done just that. Also, check-in begins at 3PM, and I received a voicemail at 4:30PM asking me where I was... I was on a plane! And since I didn't answer my phone (again, on a plane), they charged my card for the first night as if I was going to be a no-show... seriously? If they cared so much about when I was going to arrive, perhaps they could've asked me more in advance, which they did not. This hotel just seems to be too full of itself, save yourself the money (and get some better sleep) staying elsewhere.

A Vancouver institution. My room felt very dated, but overall the hotel has a lovely atmosphere and the view onto English Bay from the restaurant is lovely.

Friendly staff, great location, handy having restaurant and lounge on site and you can’t beat the million dollar view of English Bay!

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.

Great location. Staff were great. Within walking distance to downtown and many restaurants. Adjacent to Stanley Park. Only negative is old carpet in rooms and hallways.

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.

We booked this trip last minute and we were absolutely thrilled with our choice! The Sylvia Hotel is full of old time charm and sophistication. From the moment we entered the lobby, we felt as if we had stepped into a by-gone era. The wonderful black and white photos of days gone by, the friendly welcome from the front desk staff, and English Bay beach just steps from the door, we knew that we had stumbled upon what felt to us like a hidden gem. As expected by the age and history of this hotel, our standard king room was small in comparison to larger, newer hotel rooms, but it was by no means cramped. Well laid out with windows that actually open to let in the sea breeze, it was perfect. The bathroom is small, reflecting the era of the building, but has everything needed for a relaxing stay. As for cleanliness, the housekeeping staff do an amazing job. Our room was spotless and inviting from the moment we stepped inside the door. Breakfast in the restaurant had lots of great choices and we were charmed by the friendly and attentive waitstaff. The Sylvia Hotel is a wonderful change to the often impersonal newer hotels, and with its location beside English Bay, you just can't beat those amazing sunsets!

It’s a lovely quaint hotel in a very scenic area! The hotel was recommended by friends of ours and we are happy that we took their recommendation. The only negative is that our room was a little musty smelling. Other than that we will certainly be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sylvia hotel. With 2 grandkids and our dog, the location was amazing. They even upgraded our room to give us another bed! The only thing missing was air conditioning in our rooms, although fans were there and we used those.

As a historic building (1912), you can literally feel the history everywhere. Although extensively renovated and comforable, in-room A/C is not permitted in this historic hotel by building code. A fan is provided in the closet, though. Try to get a room on the higher floors to avoid street noise through your windows. No bathroom ventilation fan either. Great food and views of English Bay from the main floor dining room and excellent service. Nice happy hour features as well. Very nice stay, will try to stay again.

The Sylvia is a gem from the past. I felt like I was leaving Vancouver and staying in another country. Loved walking the sea wall in the morning!

Room was not well cleaned and the carpet in front of the fridge was wet. FYI- we found out a couple of days after making the reservation that the hotel does not have A/C, which luckily it didn’t need. With the windows open it was noisy.

Had an amazing stay for 3 days, kind and helpful staff, restaurant was great! Overall a 4/5 experience. I will note that this hotel has no air conditioning in the building which was unclear until after booking. They do give a fan for the room thought and the sea breeze comes through the windows however there’s no screen protectors on the windows which did let a few bugs. Overall would recommend!!

Travelled as a couple with two small dogs. So nice to find a place that is accepting of dogs. We have no one to watch ours when away plus we just like them to Come along with us. :) The room was clean and the windows were open when we got there because it was summer and warm out I thought the room was great. I didn’t find it warm like others have mentioned but I was on a lower floor. I like how close this is to the beach and so many walkable areas to go with the dogs and just enjoy the scenery. We walked to dinner and had some Indian food which was also tasty. Great start to our trip!
