no better location for a relaxed visit to Vancouver. It is across the street from the ocean and the walkway. It is a 5 minute walk to Stanley Park. There are LOTS of great food options also within walking distance.
My wife and i decided to use trolley bus to get to downtown and back and it was easy cheap fast and frequent.
We also took the train from the airport and connected using the #6 - again easy.
But best of all the pub and restaurant look into the shore . ..
one drawback - the rooms .

Great rates, prices and service. Have been coming here for years and will continue to do so. Love the history and the views on the bay side!

Simply the best reasonably priced hotel in Vancouver and it has great views of English Bay. Staying with kids? You need a family room, only a few dollars extra per day gets you much more space and one of the beds is in separate bedroom. Dogs ok. Parking garage on site (extra cost). Good food at the restaurant and a nice bar. Old building with lots of vintage style, but the beds are modern and super cozy.

One of the my haunts in Vancouver. Great views and service. I enjoy the live music although not always to my taste in music. Food is good. Had the hamburger on my last visit which was awesome. Other meals in the past haven't been so memorable.

Beautiful building, I absolutely love this heritage filled place. Fun and old fashioned. Though that being the case there's no air conditioning, but I don't know if you there's a more lovely place to stay in English Bay.

We have only been to the restaurant. But, several times. Great location. Great view from the dining room. Love the restaurant. Good menu for food and drinks. Friendly staff. A good place to enjoy drinks, chat and linger.

This is a lovely old school hotel, loads of character. I only stayed one night I wish it could've been longer. Brilliant location, close to some pretty good food and drink spots but the Sylvia's own offerings compare favourably so you might want to stay in, chill and just soak up the atmosphere. The staff were very courteous and professional, I used to work in the hotel industry and these guys know what they're doing. I'll definitely be coming back as soon as I can.

Great piece of Vancouver History, and still a great hotel today. Reasonably cheap for the city and a steal for the area & view. The Bar is great, but the restaurant is only okay, except for their excellent breakfast, which is excellent. Everything has a fun, vintage touch including elevators with actual dials and physical keys on a tag for the rooms. A true (not so) hidden gem!

The inside is actually really beautiful and spacious. It's seat yourself. They were understaffed but the drinks and food still came out quickly. All the drinks are singles unless you ask for a double. Sangria was lovely- not too much fruit. We had the calamari and it was insanely good. Other food was a bit expensive but the server was honest in telling us what was best (don't get the chicken and waffles it's an embarrassingly small dish for a 15$ entree). Ask for water as it's not a mandatory action at the start of the meal. Server was really sweet and overall experience was nice. Would definitely go back

The staff was very friendly and organized. We visited Vancouver for 1 week and we stayed with the Sylvia hotel. We had a room that faced the Pacific Ocean and had a very nice view. We are now headed back home but in our stay there we felt very welcome and very important. The staff was very good and we are very happy with our experience.

The staff is amazing and helpful, they love all the dogs and are so kind to them. Loved being able to leave them in room so you could do a little sightseeing. The rooms are clean, the restaurant is wonderful and so is the view. We will be back.

Went here for Sunday brunch. It was excellent. The service was great and the views can't be beat. Though stay away from the chicken and waffles. They leave a bit to be desired.

Decent size rooms but dated when it comes to fittings and hardware. Exterior noise can be heard clearly. We did have an unexpected issue with out first room, however the staff quickly and efficiently moved us to a similar room. Location of the hotel could not be better. Pretty much on the beach and within walking distance of almost everything.

Beautiful location, classic building. We were upgraded to suite, which was very nice (full kitchen!) The first suite we visited had a worn-out mattress, but we were immediately moved to a much better one.
The band in the lounge was excellent. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood- so many good restaurants to choose from. A great place for a getaway or a longer stay.
Charm and character and good service make up for any signs of aging in the building.response / report this review
