Concierge "Charming and blowsy, the Sylvia is the Blanche DuBois of hotels."
Insight Guides "Attractive old hotel overlooking English Bay, adjacent to Stanley Park. Surprising grandeur for the price, hence very popular, especially during the summer."
Fodor's "This Virginia-creeper-covered 1912 heritage building is popular because of its affordable rates and its near-perfect location." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"An ivy-wrapped landmark located in a heritage building, this popular place has an excellent reputation, making reservations essential."
Time Out "Eight floors high, the Sylvia was once the tallest building in western Canada and is now listed and a city landmark, with Virginia vines growing up the light brick exterior." Full review
BlackBook "Apple-red sunsets and maple-lined seawalk shadows the old English-themed bar. Channeling “I Love Lucy,” the rooms are simple, clean and understated."
OysterMid-Range
"The mid-range Sylvia Hotel is a nice choice for those looking for a comfy and homey hotel away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Vancouver." Full review
Afar Magazine "Vancouver’s only beachfront hotel conjures thoughts of a more genteel era, thanks to its Virginia Creeper–clad brick and terra-cotta walls and heritage building status." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Ideally situated across the street from First Beach on English Bay...if you’re not expecting luxury, you’ll embrace The Sylvia as a tremendous value in one of the most enviable locations in Vancouver." Full review

Ask for a room overlooking English Bay, on the south facing (Beach Avenue) side of the hotel.
Frommer's "The big draw is, of course, the unbeatable location right on English Bay—that, and the great room rates. Each room has its own layout, which ranges from small bargain rooms to big suites" Full review
