There is no establishment that is perfect. Sylvia is an older hotel that makes up for her age by the staff, location, atmosphere and comfort. We had a small maintenance issue that the staff noted nicely and that was that. We so enjoy the Sylvia,...it’s like ‘home away’. Every time we visit, the Sylvia has some ongoing maintenance which is fine. It shows they are reinvesting in their business and does not detract from our stay.More

Stylish old world hotel right on the foreshore of English Bay in the West End of Vancouver. Excellent bar and restaurant with great views off the bar. Great location for walking or cycling the Seawall to Stanley Park. We had the beach view suite which...was very spacious and well appointed with kitchen and living area. Only a small double bed though. It’s been a while since the hotel has had an update and in some areas it’s looking a bit dated but that’s a part of its charm. Staff are friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend this Hotel if you like a hotel with character and style.More

We had a very pleasant stay at Sylvia's for four nights. The room was a bit old fashioned but cosy and clean. All staff members were most friendly and helpful! Above all we enjoyed the elegant bar with the live music sessions.

We stayed two nights at the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast. Excellent eggs bennie and the wait staff were awesome. She had a beautiful smile. We also enjoyed the lounge later in the evening and again the service was excellent.

Its always a pleasure to stay at the Sylvia. Staff are polite and patient. Rates are comparable, and the proximity to English Bay is a bonus -we always stroll the sea wall.
