Hotel is lovely older heritage building sitting with a miraculous view of English Bay and the mountains. The restaurant serves a hearty breakfast at a reasonable pirce to set one up for the day with equally good views of English Bay. Staff is uniformly helpful and friendly. TOnly dowside is the elevators are a little small

Sylvia Hotel has a lovely vintage feel, with a beautiful view of English Bay. The restaurant in the hotel is warm and inviting, with exceptional servers and good food. The area around the hotel is very quiet and serene, with a walking path along the water at its doorstep. I would definitely stay here again.
