3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

We stayed for two nights in May during the “Bay to Breakers” event, booking only 1 week out so we basically got robbed. It was $900 for two nights plus the $40 ($18 X 2 plus tax) “admin fee” collected immediately upon arrival. I really hate resort fees, and under normal circumstances I avoid hotels that charge them. Here, at... More

We would definitely book this hotel again when we return to SF. The staff was very kind and extremely helpful. For example, they send a fax for us to Holland at no additional charge and arranged taxi and limousine rides for us. The hotel also has a great restaurant, where you can also have an a la carte breakfast at... More

We stayed at Villa Florence for 4 days and completely agree with other reviews on the hotels location and impressive lobby but beyond that it was average. The halls had a funky musty smell that lingered into the rooms but fortunately dissipated once inside. The rooms themselves were a decent size for a city hotel, they were also fairly clean... More

We stayed here for three nights at the beginning of our Cali tour and the staff was very pleasant, helpful and even showed us a couple rooms for us to chose from when we arrived. The Valet is a little inconvenient to go in and out during the day but we planned our days well so when we had the... More

This hotel is excellent in many ways. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because the bathrooms are very small. The bed was extremely comfortable, the room was a good size, plenty of bright lights, good coffee, and very clean. Everyone on the staff with whom we spoke was not only polite and helpful, but actually seemed... More

This hotel is an easy walk from the Powell Street BART station (when arriving from the airport with a wheelie suitcase). I felt safe walking there at night alone (san fran has a fair few homeless people around at night), the staff were really helpful and the room was clean and fully equipped. Ask for a room on a high... More

We only stayed for one night but this was an excellent choice. Near eateries, bars, shopping, and cable car. Room was a larger than the other place we stayed last visit. Everyone was extremely helpful.

Liked the lobby and proximity to Union Square. Thought the room to be adequate and well appointed. Bathroom could use additional shelving. Stayed in rm 704, lots of street noise, even though it didn't face the street. Italian restaurant has good reputation. Staff very attentive. Will stay again but ask for a quiet room.

Villa Florence is located in the heart of San Francisco amongst a vibrant shopping and restaurant district. The hotel is directly on the cable car route and within walking distance of the embarcadero. Rooms are extremely comfortable, well appointed and staff are courteous.

This hotel is located in Union Square. Close to everything. The rooms were a decent size and at a good price, we had another couple staying with us. Everything was clean. The staff was very helpful. We did not try the bar and restaurant but it all looked nice. I would definitely stay here again.
