We picked this hotel as it was the least expensive "decent" hotel near Union Square. The rooms (we saw 2, as we were traveling with our friends) were on the small side, but tastefully decorated. Good quality sheets, nice mattress. The lobby is very pretty, not huge, but stylish. The ladies at the reception desk are very professional and friendly.... More

My bf and I stayed here for 4 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were in a king room, and yes, the bathroom is small... big deal? The bed was large & comfortable, the lobby lovely, the staff friendly, the wine bar delicious and the location can't be beat. Take your own hairdryer but aside from that -... More

I chose this hotel for it's location and because it reminded me of my visit to Florence, Italy. From the moment we walked up to the front door, it was a perfect experience. If you want a cookie cutter modern hotel..this is not for you. If you want the feel of Italy and wonderful, friendly service at all times in... More

This hotel was selected mainly due to the many positive reviews. As cited by other reviewers: great location; tram stop in front, walking distance to many attractions and a good selection of food outlets in the vicinity. But, definitely needs improvement in terms of room refurbishment and selection of food on offer. A few questions regarding staff were dealt with... More

Pros: The hotel is in an excellent location. Just a short walk to the BART, trams and tourist cable car lines, major retail stores and cafes. Cons: You're not informed of the $15 daily admin fee for in-room coffee and internet access and whatever else till you check-in. This comes up to quite a bit if you plan to visit... More

Came here to enjoy the Union Square district of San Francisco and this hotel is right in the heart of it. The front desk were friendly at check in/ out. The rooms are small and the bathroom was a tight squeeze, but that is expected from a hotel from the 1900's that is in the heart of a city. The... More

We were delighted with our stay at Villa Florence in SFO. Our room was light, bright, fresh and very nicely decorated with a beautiful and comfortable king bed and decent bathroom with good amenities. We were very happy to dine at the hotel's Italian restaurant and there is a great Lobby Cafe/Bar which served a light breakfast and Happy Hour... More

We stayed here at the start of our honeymoon from the UK as we wanted something central for ease of exploring the city. There is no doubt the location of the hotel is excellent - right on the Powell St cable car line and in the thick of the centre of town. This does however come with drawbacks, namely the... More

Villa Florence was a beautiful hotel - the lobby was immaculate, the service was excellent, everything looked fantastic with old-school charm. All went well, we were able to check in early, hop in the retro elevator, made it to our floor, opened the door to our room and ... yikes. Well, it was small. Tiny, in fact. Our room was... More
