    Clean and easy check in process. The hotel is lovely and the location is convenient. It is close to Stanley park, beach, and all the restaurants are nearby.

    Wonderful location for biking to Granville Island and Stanley Park. Old fashioned with character. Cozy and clean. Views of the water and you can open the windows and hear the sound of waves lapping on the beach.

    Beautiful old hotel with a rich history. Character rooms and a gorgeous dining area/bar with beach views. Safe parking and area in downtown Vancouver/West End.

    The location was great. Just a short walk on the sea wall that will take you to the false creek ferry service, shops or Stanley park.

    Have stayed at the Sylvia for 50+ years and it is pretty much the same. Great location and a decent (if modest) room. Close enough to walk to restaurants on Denman and Stanley Park Brewing (recommended). Good water pressure in shower. Room didn't...
