Rooms felt like they could use a refresh but overall they were fine. Lobby was lovely and the staff I dealt with were polite and helpful. I will say the hotel was extremely hot and you could not control your own temp. Dinner at the hotel was great but the next morning we went for breakfast and after I sent my food back because my eggs were undercooked the waitress avoided us and didn’t come back to our table. When we went up to pay our bill she saw us and went into the back and had another staff ring us through.

Staff were courteous and helped facilitate my early (prior to checkin) arrival. The restaurant staff were professional, smiling and helpful. I ended up eating there more than I had anticipated due to the pleasantly delightful staff and excellent variety and quality of the menu items.

We will only stay at the Sylvia when we come to Vancouver. It's steeped in charm and history, service is fantastic (and old school) and location can't be beat. If you like new and modern this is not the place for you. The Sylvia is the big comfy sweater you inherited from your dad. Hope it never changes.
