Hotel was in an amazing location near the beach. We had dinner and drinks at the restaurant which was amazing. Excellent food and service. You can feel the history in the building! Room was small but cozy, and a bit cold, but they gave us a space heater, which helped. Looking forward to staying there again. Classy and vintage but unpretentious. Very reasonable price.

Oh the Sylvia Hotel in Vancouver. What a lovely staycation my husband and I had this past weekend. Comfortable beds, quiet rooms and oh that Vancouver sunshine in December as we looked over to Vanier Park. After a delicious breakfast we headed straight out of the hotel and there is Stanley Park! After a three hour walk around the Seawall, a stop for coffee and an Uber home. What a great way to start off the holiday season. Thank you Sylvia.

Quaint and friendly. Everything you need - across from English Bay with walking paths for as far as you want to go. Nice restaurant with other quality dining and coffee within walking distance. Good bed but you might need your own pillow. No frills but extremely adequate. Room service is even the same price as the restaurant. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. Hot water and good pressure- something you might not expect in an old hotel. Nicely updated and very comfortable. Even live music in the lounge!
