"Paying luxury price for luxury location, not for a luxury room or amenities."

7.0

Obviously the location is great for walking to the beach, Stanley Park etc. Not convenient for access to light rail but that’s the trade off. The charm of a heritage property with rich history is also nice.

Other than the location, the stay was pretty bare bones for amenities and/or luxury. For the price per night we had a view of the brick wall behind us and basic sleeping/living space. No complaints but no ‘wow’ factor either inside our room. For the price I would have expected nicer linens & blanket. Our TV remote didn’t really work and for a 3 person booking in a 3 bed room we only got 2 sets of towels, glasses, etc.

"Imagine .....No AC."

7.0

We had an excellent stay. The location is amazing....best in the city. Had a drink in the bar downstairs while listening to live music and watching the sunset, it was a perfect evening.

It was a little noisy but I don;t think that can be helped, it"s a busy city. The problem is that there is no AC so you have to have the windows wide open. It was only May and we roasted. Imagine a hot day in August. I did not expect a hotel not to have AC. Big downfall that will keep us from going again.

"Great Stay"

10.0

Enjoyed our stay as usual. Had a meal in the restaurant, delicious and the view was fantastic. We got into a situation where we needed help from the staff that was above & beyond what is expected and they were happy to help. I don’t believe a chain hotel would’ve been as helpful. It’s a unique experience to stay here, a historic landmark for sure.

Lovely hotel located in English Bay. Front facing rooms overlook the ocean. Rooms are quiet, cozy and offer nice amenities. Enjoyed breakfast at the hotel and several eateries nearby. I would definitely stay at the Sylvia Hotel again!
