If you are a person who enjoys finer accommodations, this is not for you. The beds are old and lumpy, the bathrooms old with very noisy plumbing with the sink in the bed area of the room. The place reeked of the garlicky whatever was being served in the dining room. The room was rather dusty/moldy with too much older... More

I went there for lunch. The food was excellent tasting, healthy, and served family style. The dessert was heavenly. The dining table setting was elegant. After lunch, we were invited to browse the hotel. You can look in any of the theme decorated rooms that have the doors open. Open doors mean they is a vacancy. First time guests get... More

This was my first stay at the Sylvia Beach Hotel. I'd known about it for about six years, but most of that time, I was living on another part of the Oregon coast with my own view of the ocean. I was also put-off by some of the negative reviews on TripAdvisor, not knowing what to expect. But I am... More

We've been to the SBH countless times, but we were thrilled to visit over their recent 25th anniversary. They had an open house on Sunday afternoon, and all the rooms were open. I LOVE the new Harry Potter room, and Shakespeare is another favorite. During our most recent visit we stayed in Robert Louis Stevenson for the first and last... More

Incredible views, whimsical rooms, great service, good food. I brought my small daughter and wasn't treated any differently than the other guests(she was the only child in a very quiet hotel). We stayed in the Dr Seuss room, and she loved every minute. So did i. I cant wait to come back to enjoy this beautiful little hotel again during... More

Sylvia's is a delightful hotel situated on the beach. The staff was very nice and helpful. Each room is named and decorated after a different author. The room was small, but clean and quiet. A special treat was walking on Nye Beach at low tide looking at the various plant and sea life. Newport boasts a lovely downtown area with... More

We loved Sylvia Beach Hotel although we didn't particularly like our room. The hotel is housed in a 100 year old building with all of the quirks of such and the rooms are themed on various authors. We stayed in one of the more expensive and larger Classic rooms. We had an incredible view towards Yaquina Head and the lighthouse... More

The best vacation I ever took. I went alone, on a whim, for a four day weekend over spring break, and the management was very kind about finding me accommodations on short notice. The first two nights I stayed in the Hemingway room and read the journals. An interesting room, but if you object to taxidermy you probably won't care... More

I booked a birthday weekend for my wife staying saturday and sunday. An unfortunate turn of events led me to have to cancel the Sunday night. The manager would not work with me at all to keep the saturday night. He basically told me my only option was to cancel the entire weekend. To me that is just plain greedy.... More
