    Nice Historic Property

    The rooms are small but we weren't intending on spending a lot of time in them. The property is across the street from English Bay and an easy walk to Stanley Park.

    Sylvia Hotel

    This is the best place to stay in Vancouver. Very pet friendly, beautiful hotel in a gorgeous beach setting. Nothing else to ask for.

    Great location, poor management

    Large, 1-bedroom suite with comfortable living room, full kitchen, stove, fridge with freezer, separate bedroom. The space was really good for travel with a 60 pound dog but the bed was too small, the pillows were the worst ever, and the bedding was poor. I saw on the Fido booking that we had 1 queen bed although I had asked for 2 queens so I phoned the hotel several days before arrival and was assured that the bed was a king. I was on a very tight schedule and had no time to try to make a change. When checking out, I mentioned this error on the part of the hotel but the manager took no responsibility for it, not even an apology. Future travelers, be warned that this is not a top rate hotel. The setting is fantastic. The room and maid service are great but the bedding is terrible and the desk personnel need to learn better management skills.

    Amazing location by the English Bay

    The hotel was friendly, accommodating for Koko our Pom and we had a beautiful place to take her for walks steps from our hotel. The English Bay is especially gorgeous during sunsets. A radiant sky. Easily walk to many shops and restaurants. The room was clean.

    Great location!

    Marlen loved his stay at The Sylvia especially since he slept in his own bed!

    Great location

    I would have liked a “dog station”—access to drinking water, poop bags, a poop bag garbage and a gated place for dogs to poop. A water dish in the room would be a nice touch as well.

    Historic Downtown Vancouver on the beach

    Friendly, comfortable, old school property, located in the best part of downtown Vancouver. A water taxi ride away from Kitsilano dog beach and miles of walking opportunities.

    Lovely location and friendly staff.

    The Sylvia is a perfect hotel for staying with your furry family member(s). The room we had was basic but clean and comfortable. My dog was scared of the old elevator but the location was superb! Will stay there again.

    Wonderful location

    The Silvia is a grand old hotel in the West end of Vancouver, located right next to Stanley Park. The room was comfortable, parking was really inexpensive compared to the states, the staff was very nice. Love this place!
