The hotel is beautiful. It’s in a great location! Staff is very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room with 3 beds. Perfect for our family of 5. We used the restroom for late night drinks(live music), amazing breakfast, then room service for dinner. Perfect!

I was not aware of a 'free breakfast' ? We did eat in the main restaurant and they very kindly sat us without a reservation on a Sunday so that was very nice. Everyone was very nice and friendly in a genuine way. This is a pet-friendly hotel so you should know you might hear the bark of a doggo or two while you in bed; it was not an issue. Comfy beds and pillows and the vintage architecture and wall decor was very much a part of my enjoyment. I look forward to returning again.

Our room was extremely comfortable and well appointed. The bathroom was clean, and the bed was impeccably made. The staff at the front desk and room service could not have been more friendly. The location was ideal, in front of the park, which was particularly appealing to us, since we were traveling with our two dogs. Their restaurant has excellent options in the menu, and the staff is friendly and courteous. We will definitely be going back to the Sylvia in our next trip to Vancouver. Excellent value overall.
