Sylvia Hotel, Restaurant and Lounge

We had a great breakfast and great coffee. Very enjoyable.

It's been a while since I tried delicious food made with love, quality of service, impeccable dishes, very homemade flavor, super cozy atmosphere, background music, families, impressive sunset view... I will come back to try something different, worth returning and the waiters are very friendly.

We just ate at the restaurant. The atmosphere comfortable and service excellent. We are on the patio in the warm Vancouver sun overlooking the water. All 3 of us enjoyed the food..

Still the neatest place to stay, you'll be charmed, I've come here for 35 years and always will!

The area is great, but the rooms are terribly dated and overpriced. The bar is fantastic. Great restaurants nearby as well.
But would not stay there again for the current pricing (no A/C and rooms are incredibly hot)

Good location but hotel is very old. I would choose somewhere else next time.

My son and I visited for 5 nights and loved it. We had a room with 2 queens, a full kitchen and full bath. We loved having the kitchen to cook a bit and not have to eat out at every meal. Our room was very clean. The bathroom looked new like it had just been remodeled. We found the location to be so nice since it is across the street from the beach where you can sit and watch the sunset, etc. There is a Safeway up the street where we bought some basic food items for breakfast, snacks, etc. There are tons for places to eat and everything is very easy walk to. It is on the edge of Stanley Park where we walked and rode bikes several times. A short walk away is also the 5 minute water taxi to Glanville Island which was fantastic (food, shops). My only compliant would be that the beds were too hard for me and I had trouble sleeping. We did not eat in the restaurant or have room service so I cannot comment on that. The hotel is beautiful, historic, in an amazing location. I would most definitely return if we ever come back to the area.

Amazing location. Like you’ve stepped back in time

Absolutely wonderful staff, beautiful location and cool hotel.

Our favourite place to stay in Vancouver; time and time again. Location is fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. Great bar and restaurant too.

AWESOME SPOT......BORN IN VANCOUVER..... MY HOME, NOT THE HOTEL !

Came here to the restaurant to celebrate a company event and I thought the meal was decent! For the starter we got the seafood chowder, streak as the main and a chocolate mousse for dessert.

Hot and cold, literally. First time, the brunch was excellent! Even though we were a large group (with reservations), service was prompt, professional and friendly while the food was hot and delicious (great hollandaise).

Second time, sat in the lounge. Mistake? Service was slow, food was tepid at best and not particularly tasty. Odd prime rib hash – tough chunks of beef over refried potato wedges? But the eggs were still good. Also, no one checked about our meal satisfaction until much too late.

So five stars with one star averages three stars?

Great little hotel, has everything you need, fantastic location on English Bay. Breakfast is a little slow and the service was lacking
