The Sylvia is across the street from Stanley Park. There is a restaurant on the property, as well as others in the area. The front desk will call you a cab if you need to travel to another area of town. Very friendly staff.

I loved the heritage aspect. With that comes old and small rooms but the price point was reasonable for the area. The room was clean and serviceable. Thin walls but again, old hotel. Pretty sure it's haunted. Staff were all great. We had room service for dinner and the food was so-so. We would stay again, nothing was a deal breaker.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sylvia hotel. With 2 grandkids and our dog, the location was amazing. They even upgraded our room to give us another bed! The only thing missing was air conditioning in our rooms, although fans were there and we used those.

It’s a lovely quaint hotel in a very scenic area! The hotel was recommended by friends of ours and we are happy that we took their recommendation. The only negative is that our room was a little musty smelling. Other than that we will certainly be back!
