Staff were courteous and helped facilitate my early (prior to checkin) arrival. The restaurant staff were professional, smiling and helpful. I ended up eating there more than I had anticipated due to the pleasantly delightful staff and excellent variety and quality of the menu items.

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

Close to the beach and cafés. Also a nice walk, along the ocean, to Stanley Park. Approximately 15-20 min walk to take False Creek Ferris to Kitsilano or Granville. We love walking, and everything was near by that we didn't need to rent a car. That was a bonus.

Rooms felt like they could use a refresh but overall they were fine. Lobby was lovely and the staff I dealt with were polite and helpful. I will say the hotel was extremely hot and you could not control your own temp. Dinner at the hotel was great but the next morning we went for breakfast and after I sent my food back because my eggs were undercooked the waitress avoided us and didn’t come back to our table. When we went up to pay our bill she saw us and went into the back and had another staff ring us through.

A travel writer friend recommended the Sylvia Hotel. We loved our stay there. Our room, the hotel staff, and the restaurant were great. The location on English Bay Beach can't be beat, and Stanley Park, Canadaa Place, Chinatown, and Gastown are close by. We walked around the area checking out restaurant options (of which there are plenty), but we returned to the hotel for both breakfast and dinner as the food was excellent, the wait staff was wonderful, and the prices were no higher than those of other venues within walking distance. But just as important, people watching and the beach view from the outdoor seating area were great fun.
