The Sylvia Hotel

Excellent location. Cross the street and it starts the trail to the seawall. Rooms were comfortable. Hotel was close to a lot of restaurants and a short walk to down town. I also encountered many dogs staying at the hotel and they don’t charge you for your dog staying there.

Fantastic location. Right on the waterfront and walking distance from Stanley Park. Very kind staff. Older hotel but very clean and the windows open!! I had to work during my 8 day stay there, so was thrilled to be able to keep the windows open, looking into the beach. Food is better elsewhere but very happy with my stay at the Sylvia overall! Highly recommend.

My daughter and I took out two special cherished friends to celebrate their May birthdays and bon voyage as one of them is moving to Powell River. We decided on the Sylvia because we love it there. The ambience, decor and view is spectacular as is the service and the food. We were so well taken care of. We had the perfect window table and the best crème brûlée complete with a candle and Staff joining to sing happy birthday. We actually closed out the Sylvia!! It was perfect.

We LOVED every second here, from check in to check out, our stay was perfect. Exceptional service from all staff, reception desk, housekeepers, and restaurant staff were all hospitable and gracious. While the hotel is older, we could hear the stories, memories, and laughter in her walls…while our room didn’t have a view of the bay, it was cozy, clean, and comfy, and the windows opened so we could listen to it, and it was just steps out the door! Stanley park is close, excellent restaurants close by, scooters and bikes to rent close by, I would not stay anywhere else!!

Rooms were pretty nice with the kitchen equipped with fridge and cupboards. Beds and bedding weren't great. Overall building is old but charming but I would've preferred some modern upgrade to rooms. Nice bathroom with scratchy towels. I could probably find a better tv for free on marketplace, but I'm glad I could take the HDMI out of the cable box and plug it into my laptop otherwise we'd just be watching Shaw on demand free channels. Food was fine, bar was good. Some rooms have gorgeous framed photos of the area from decades ago, ours had some Ikea wall art. Customer service was nice, I appreciated the employees here, especially for loading in and out since we had so much stuff for Christmas gifts in and out. Overall vibe was old but cozy, despite my nitpicking I did feel like this was a nice place to spend the holidays. New beds and tvs (and more Irish whiskeys) would make this pretty top tier.
