NileGuide Expert Says:
A moderately priced hotel situated waterfront in English Bay (Downtown Vancouver) The Sylvia is a heritage style hotel and its location stands out as its most attractive feature.
Description:
The Sylvia is a classic European style hotel overlooking English Bay and a short walk into Stanley Park. It is the most reasonably priced hotel in the West End. It is quite comfortable, but shows its age. The elevators are funky and there is visible wear and tear. But, for most, it is charming and the location can't be beat. It is often packed with European tourists. You can walk across the street to the beach, or in one block get to the Stanley Park Seawall or the buzzing cafes and restaurants on Denman street. The best rooms are located on the higher floors facing English Bay. The suites have fully equipped kitchens and are large enough for families. The newer low-rise annex rooms are similar to the high rise but offer less atmosphere.

Really enjoyed this rustic warm hotel.

I extended my stay at the Sylvia from one to three nights as it was great. Now, right away it is not a modern hotel full of creature comforts, it has a refined classical feel of a bygone...
