Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback regarding your stay at the Sylvia hotel. I am glad that you liked the hospitality give to you by our staff was friendly and you enjoyed the location of the hotel. I do apologies if you felt the restaurant was a bit pricey we always try to give value for money at our restaurant and we have similar price compared to most of the restaurants on english bay area. Kind Regards

Wonderful neighborhood away from glitz and tall buildings. It was great fun staying at the Sylvia, an icon from Vancouver”s history, as described by a Vancouverite we met. English Bay beach and the miles-long pedestrian and bike paths (separate) are just across the street. So great seeing locals gathering on blankets on the beach just to watch the sunset and visit with each other. An older hotel, a bit rickety, and a lot of fun to visit! And then there’s the ivy (my wife said to add that and I agree!).
