all empl,oyees showed very good manner, very fast check out. it is a more than 100 years hotel which location beside the beach, but to reach the front desk we have to lift our baggages 3 steps, a bit inconvenient, but fortunately there are 2 elevators to lift our things, it will be a very good hotel if it can undergo a renovation.

The hotel has a history of more than 100 years! The location is very good, right outside the sea. If you like morning jogging, you can run along the Stanley Park Seaside Running Track, which is exactly 10 kilometers. There are many restaurants nearby, from all over the world! The room layout is also very good, with a separate room, which is very suitable for a family of 4-5 people.

The room is neat and clean, the facilities are good, and the location is quite good. It's right on the seaside. You can walk around Stanleypark along the coast. It's not too cool! The most important thing is that the deposit will be refunded quickly.

The hotel location is great, right in front of English Bay. The sea is right in front of the hotel! Stanley Park is just a short walk to the side. There are many people walking, riding bicycles, and people who look relaxed. The hotel is old and the facilities are old, but all the staff are friendly!

A cost-effective hotel in downtown Vancouver, close to Englishbay and Stanley Park. The environment is ok. The hotel room is very good, with a long history and standard service.

Would you like to know how dinosaurs vacationed on west coast hundreds of millions of years ago? Then book a very expensive room in Sylvia "motel". Staff are amazing, no doubt. But the building was built during stone age. It's so old and has not received any maintenance in ages that the keys to the rooms are actual keys, not keycards so goodluck to you and your belongings. There is no desk to work at, because dinosaurs lived rent free and didn't need to work. The is one tiny elevator which fits an "average" american at most and it's so slow that reminds of you that DMV scene in zootopia. The bathroom fan works whenever it likes to, and the electrical sockets stop/start working every 5 seconds and that's an if, IF you manage to plug in your charger as they continue to fall off every minute or so. The average age of people who stay at this hotel is 100 no joke. So if you're anything in the working group, I'd say spend the money literally anywhere else.

For the age of the building -112 years old - it was remarkably clean. We were a little nervous of the elevator though- not in the best working order and the other one was closed ddown
