Check in was friendly There was a misunderstanding on my part. I thought I had booked a ocean view room… I don’t need a kitchen or king size but I can’t change it… that’s disappointing… I booked a high priced room for nothing

Friendly staff. Such as cool, historic building. Obviously, the interior is old and historic, not luxurious with modern upgrades. Open the windows to get fresh air kind of place. Beds comfortable, bathrooms clean, noticeably great water pressure! Beautiful exterior. Easy to find from the street because of its signage and decor. Great location. We walked from Gastown all the way back to the hotel. Longish walk but never had issues with bad neighborhoods along the way.

The Sylvia was a beautiful, historic place to stay in Vancouver. We loved being so close to English Bay and walking the paths. The rooms were clean but musty and the beds were pretty uncomfortable. The historic vibe of the hotel was great though and everyone in my party really enjoyed their stay.

We loved the location on the English Bay, the restaurant was lovely looking directly on to the beach. Also, the proximity to Stanley Park and the path along the seawall! The only downside for me, as I have chronic pain, was that the mattress and pillows weren’t very comfortable for me. My daughter felt it was fine, though.
