Simple yet excellent!
Sylvia Hotel has the best location for our needs, easy on site parking, comfortable bed and room, and friendly staff. It is an older hotel without all the frills but for the price it is the perfect spot for us.

English Bay, the Sylvia Hotel
This is a great base when visiting family in the West End of the city, walkable to most areas, used Taxis to get around and evo car share app. Stanley park just around the corner and English bay right in front of the hotel.

8/10 Very good

Vintage hotel with real keys and a great view
The Sylvia is a quaint, vintage hotel in a great location. We loved being right across from the beach, and that it was dog-friendly. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby and you can walk along the water for miles, accessing Stanley Park, the water taxis, and points beyond. We enjoyed the Sunday night live jazz, too! We were very happy with this choice, and will very likely return.

Very Old Hotel
This Hotel is in an excellent location right on the waterfront and is one of the oldest hotels. Sadly the interior reflects this and the room felt very dated and worn. The elevators also seemed very old and jolty so not ideal if you have any fear fo them. Parking is convienient and the front desk were helpful.

This was the perfect hotel to stay at for a weekend getaway. Easy walking access to the seawall and Stanley Park, or in to downtown - lots of food and coffee nearby. The room was great, very comfy beds, the staff were excellent and you cannot beat the views from the restaurant.
