Summary: 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.

Summary: Great location, wonderful staff. Will come back!
Barry Sep 6, 2025 12:51:34 AM
Summary: Rooms and amenities very nice and comfortable. Lack of AC not great in hot weather. Opening windows invites outside noise, and closing them -- even with fans -- makes air a bit stuffy. But overall a positive experience, particularly in cooler weather.
Steven Sep 5, 2025 04:00:49 AM
Summary: No AC. Hot day.
Andrea Sep 4, 2025 10:49:22 PM

Summary: The Sylvia is a great, vintage hotel. All the staff were polite and professional. Being pet friendly was awesome and the outdoor patio dining was perfect for us and our dog. The location adjacent Stanley Park was nice for long walks out the door. Parking was extra but it was convenient and close. The rooms were a bit warm with no AC but ceiling fans and room fans made it fine. Yes, good water pressure on the sixth floor for taking a shower. I will be back.

Summary: I have stayed 3 times and been pleased everytime. Eco is the only area that could be improved. Recycle garbage cans seperate from regular garbage would be helpful
Joelly Aug 16, 2025 05:29:58 AM
Summary: Such a cool place, love the west end vibe, the beach, the history. Neat old hotel, nice bar and restaurant, love the well behaved guest dogs coming and going. I would stay here a million times.

Summary: Great historic hotel! Staff was great at accomodating our requests and so friendly. Location can't be beat. We were on 6th floor with a great view too. We loved walking out and being right on the water and short walk to heaches and stanley park, sunset beach, ferry to granville island. We saw the quaint restaurant and bar but did not have time to try those out, though they looked great. We would stay again!
