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

This is well located, and the service was very nice. The rooms were very average. Bathroom was small, and no major updates. The Air Cond. was a window one, yet there was a vent in the bathroom that blew cold air constantly, so the only thing to do was close the bathroom door to control it. (Heat the bedroom, to... More

This is a great hotel - stylish decor, good restaurants, friendly and helpful staff and an excellent location. Just a couple of provisos to add if you're tempted to book this hotel. It's offered at a very competitive rate but as has been noted by other reviewers, be aware that there is a $15 per night 'admin fee' to cover... More

First of all ... let me get this right out of the way. Hotels really need to start being taken to task about these ridiculous fees that border on false advertising! This hotel will put a $15 administrative fee, which is explained as room ammenities into the room cost at the end. I know its only $15 ... but I... More

My two teenage sons and I had a Junior Suite that was perfect for our needs. The king bed and sofa bed accommodated us better than any other options I researched in the city. The room was spacious and clean. Bathroom was a little small but the room size more than made up for that shortcoming. Lobby was vibrant and... More
