All was amazing

Close to everything, clean rooms. Staff were friendly and professional

The dining room/lounge just didn’t match the rest of the hotel. The modern redo is anticlimactic upon arrival. The view though is outstanding!

The legendary Sylvia! You cannot beat the beach location and coziness of the hotel. Big room. Friendly crew. I finally had a chance to stay here.

There is nothing I could say …. It was perfect for my kids and I.

This Gem was a true gift and surprise. The staff are so genuine and kind. It is an incredible building with so much history and our room was perfect. We had a two room suite with three beds and a beautiful view of the city. Just outside the front door is the beach and the main floor is the largest ocean view restaurant I have ever experienced.😄

The $25/night in parking was a little high for us. Small lift & the staircase is locked at the second floor from the lobby (assuming because the restaurant is open to the public). No microwaves in the rooms, but has a mini fridge!

Great location! It was clean & had comfortable beds. The oyster bar next to the hotel was awesome.

The hotel is in a beautiful location right across from the beach at English Bay. Lots of great restaurants and shops close by.

The location is exceptional! Lots of history to the place in pictures on the walls, giving it much cache.

We stay at The Sylvia whenever we’re visiting Vancouver. It’s in a perfect location to access Stanley Park, Granville Island and walk along the beach. Excellent value, especially in the low/shoulder season.

the room was clean but did get dog hairs on my socks. I found out that there are no rooms dedicated for dogs! This is a concern as I and probably many people have allergies to dogs and cats. I can imagine that this is problematic for you as it seems so many people are travelling with dogs! It may be an important thing to consider as I know that some friends of mine refuse to book at your hotel because of this issue. The restaurant had lovely views and great music on a few of the nights that I was there. However, there could be some improvement on the food served. For example, I had the worse caesar salad! It was dead, no flavor, little dressing, no parmesan cheese! I did ask for some and received it but the dressing is outdated!

Location was great!

Cannot think of anything I would change

This is our third stay at the Sylvia and ,as always , it was excellent . Staff was wonderful, very helpful and attentive, the room was clean and spacious , bed was very comfortable . This hotel has possibly one the best locations in the city in English Bay and is within a very short walking distance from shopping , the Sea Wall and taxi-boat transfer to Granville Island. The restaurant has great food and the view is lovely. We hope to be back in Vancouver soon and Sylvia remains our go to hotel.

Wonderful location for biking to Granville Island and Stanley Park. Old fashioned with character. Cozy and clean. Views of the water and you can open the windows and hear the sound of waves lapping on the beach.

The location was great. Just a short walk on the sea wall that will take you to the false creek ferry service, shops or Stanley park.

Pillows are kind of lumpy and they’re all the same size. Would be nice to have more variety. Would also like a magnifying mirror in the bathroom and maybe make up remover cloths.

Very clean, very comfortable, friendly staff, great location. Rooms are nice and big.
