Beautiful location and a great place to stay if you can catch one of their deals

The location is amazing, such a beautiful spot on English Bay and accessible to both downtown city locations and the woods of Stanley Park.

The room was in an old addition to the main building, the bathroom hasn't been updated in a number of years and on the last morning of our stay the water came out of the taps brown. The staff seemed confused when we told them about the problem at check-out. The base price was average, but still expensive and it's $25/day for parking, the additional fees added up and the final bill was $750 for two nights, which did not feel good.

10.0 / 10.0

Perfect.

Staff, coziness, food, and most of all, location. I’ve come here for 5 decades, and will continue to do so for as long as I’m able. English Bay and the West End are stars of the city. And the Sylvia is chef’s kiss.

When the price is right, this is the place to stay.

Great location next to the Laughing Buddhas. The edge of Stanley Park and at the corner of Denman and Davie, couldn't be a better location in Vancouver. The history of the hotel on the walls is especially endearing. Love the the lounge.

Great place to stay for work or vacation

Located directly opposite English Bay beach, the hotel has luggage storage and business meeting facilites. The staff were helpful and accommodating with local recommendations and access to facilities. Highly recommend whether solo travelling for work, or with family or friends on vacation.

Nice retreat.

The location overlooking Inglish Bay was really nice. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast, and both were excellent. We stay in Vancouver a fair bit and it was nice to have the peace and quiet of minimal ambulances and fire trucks. Walking along the ocean is always a treat and so close to the little ferry's really works for us. Staff were the highlight for us as they ALL tried hard to make our stay the best it could be. Thanks.

Parking is a little bit of a problem if you are driving a full-size pickup as the overhead is tight and the stalls are minimal. The fact that we stayed in November the room really worked out however not having air conditioning for the warmer months might be a bit of a challenge.

1.0 / 10.0

Awful

The location was about the only thing.

We arrived in Vancouver to start our honeymoon and after traveling all day, we were woken up at midnight to loud pounding and hammering sounds. By 1:30 AM we had enough and my husband went downstairs, he was told they were doing tile repair in the kitchen which was just below our room. Who does that in the middle of the night?? Horrible experience.

Great customer service and a lovely hotel! I stayed here a long time ago, and wanted to revisit!

My room was all the way back in the rear of the hotel, which should have been fine if it were cheaper. It was still nice, next time I’ll book directly.

Great location and convenient to have a restaurant in the hotel. Bikes were so close by to tour around Stanley Park.

Fabulous location with the beach outside the door. Loves the retro vibe of the hotel but with all the modern conveniences!

Did feel a bit warm in the room one night so a fan would have been helpful.

I will definitely stay here again.

The room was very spacious, and, considering it was a room with city view, it was quiet at night (we had the windows closed). The bed was very comfortable, so were the pillows. We appreciated having the mosquito screens, so the windows could stay open during the daytime. The staff were very friendly, and we enjoyed the charm of the building. Lots of dining options in the neighbourhood, such as Vietnamese and Persian. Great area for walking.

We were not so inspired by the ambience in the breakfast area. It felt a bit sleepy, and there seemed to be only one waiter. We anticipated a long wait, so we went out for breakfast (Delany's).

Historic hotel in park like setting.

This beautiful hotel has a fabulous historical story. It is celebrated throughout the hotel in pictures that make the story come alive. Its location is perfect to have a beach getaway in the middle of the city. Staff is so friendly. We felt very much at home here.

Nothing.

9.0 / 10.0

We had a lovely visit. We enjoyed our stay, being that close to the ocean was wonderful.

The location is ideal!! I loved the old style of the hotel, the historic photos are fabulous. The restaurant was wonderful and our request for window seating for our dinner reservation was fulfilled. Great food and service.

I’m not sure what the issue was but the shower in our bathroom leaked all over the floor and puddled around the toilet area. We tried moving the shower head and directing it away from the curtain side of the tub but it still seemed to leak out from the faucet side of the tub and out of the bath. It was a little dangerous for slipping. And we were worried about the floor below us.

Excellent location, clean comfortable beautiful room. The rain did not deter us from having a lovely time and we will de

The property is an icon… In an iconic location. Though it was raining, we could see the beach from the restaurant and love being in a historical place.

We were in one of the less kept up wings. Our room was absolutely fabulous, but the hallway is around where we were were very old and needed some attention.

The legendary Sylvia! You cannot beat the beach location and coziness of the hotel. Big room. Friendly crew. I finally had a chance to stay here.

The dining room/lounge just didn’t match the rest of the hotel. The modern redo is anticlimactic upon arrival. The view though is outstanding!

Most enjoyable stay ever!

This Gem was a true gift and surprise. The staff are so genuine and kind. It is an incredible building with so much history and our room was perfect. We had a two room suite with three beds and a beautiful view of the city. Just outside the front door is the beach and the main floor is the largest ocean view restaurant I have ever experienced.😄

There is nothing I could say …. It was perfect for my kids and I.
