Love the Sylvia!

We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite and it was perfect for our needs. The staff are so friendly and helpful and understanding too. We always stay at the Sylvia. It is a unique hotel with a unique history and we highly recommend it for folks who appreciate history and something solid, reliable, comfy and super charming.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Sylvia Hotel. The staff was amazing! The food was very good. We liked being able to order room service and had nice quiet meals in our room. Being right by the ocean was awesome... we took our dog for a long stroll along the beach in the evening. Very relaxing! We are very happy that they are pet friendly. We will be back to the Sylvia :)

Our room was comfortable but did not have an ocean view. Most of the staff were friendly & helpful. If a quiet, picturesque location across from the ocean appeals, then this is the best. Our dinner and breakfast were both tasty & nicely presented. The character of the 100 yr plus hotel is art deco and classic which rescues it from ordinary.

Lovely character hotel in a great location so close to the beach and Stanley Park. Slightly longer but very easy walk to the little ferries that take you across to Kitsilano, the Maritime museum, Granville Island etc We had a lovely breakfast in the restaurant overlooking the beach one morning. Our only negative is that a day before our arrival we had requested a check in by 2.30pm as we were being collected by friends at 4.00pm. We were told they would do their best but could not guarantee it ( normal check in 3.00pm) - however our room was actually not given to us until 3.30pm which meant we had to delay our meeting with friends. This was disappointing Apart from this, we enjoyed our stay and the great service from all the staff. Not sure how comfortable guests would be without air conditioning mid summer but the evening temperatures were lower when we stayed so it was fine.
