GUEST REVIEWS

Hotel Sylvia in Newport, Oregon, is a delight! The newly renovated room was incredibly cozy, with plush bedding and charming literary decor that made it feel like a warm retreat. The oceanfront view of Nye Beach was spectacular, perfect for soaking in the ocean’s beauty. Prime location near the beach and cafés. Highly recommend for a comfortable stay with stunning views!

The Sylvia was a quaint and quiet retreat…perfect for a beach getaway. The room was extremely comfortable with wonderful views of the beach and ocean. It was great to start the day off with a complimentary coffee followed by a great breakfast. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I will definitely go back!

- Amy G.

We just had a amazing stay at Hotel Sylvia, quiet luxury. It is newly and beautifully renovated and they did a great job in all aspects retaining the old charm and providing modern comforts .
The staff were warm and helpful throughout our stay, and the food at the café was excellent. Our room had stunning views, and the rain shower was a definite highlight. The location was just a very short walk to the beach and great shopping which made the stay even better. We also appreciated the little extras, like the books and games available for guests. We highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a relaxing and well-located place to stay.

We’ve long been a fan of this hotel. Under new ownership, Hotel Sylvia is still our favorite place to stay in Newport. The recent upgrades have modernized the hotel without sacrificing any of its charm. Friendly & accommodating staff, comfortable & spacious rooms, a new cafe menu, and reading nooks throughout the building make Hotel Sylvia the perfect place to call home for a few days while enjoying all that Nye Beach & that part of the Oregon Coast have to offer.

We were lucky enough to book a room here on their reopening day. Amazing views, easy beach access, charming town, attentive service, outstanding cafe (make sure you make your breakfast/brunch reservations when you check in, I’m sure it will fill up quickly once they open it to non-guests), and the refreshed room (we got the Ernest Hemingway) was comfortable and spotless. Great place to stop if you’re working your way down 101 or for an extended stay if you need a base of operations for writing, thinking, or exploring.
