| Conveniently nestled in near Union Square and easily accessible by the Powell Street BART station, this is our favorite romantic get away locale. We've been many times now (and this is from seasoned travelers from the Rocky Mtns and South America). It is quaint to have the street cars climbing Powell below you.
Older but very nice property and the staff is outstanding. Overall, the Larkspur properties (of which there are a few in the area) are outstanding.
Highly recommended - enjoy your adventures here. |

| What a location. Clean, nice, quiet rooms. Not large but nice for a nights sleep. Good Valet Parking in Downtown SF. Close to Union Square. Loved this hotel. Will recommend to others, and will stay again. Nice resturant downstairs, great hotel. |

| Nice hotel overall for the price. Only one word of caution; Stay away from room service dining. Very expensive and suprisingly poor quality. The restaurants in the lobby area make for a much better experience. |

| We had a junior suite at this hotel which was so convenient for my husband and I, since he likes to watch TV and I like to read. The price of the junior suite was very reasonable and well worth the added expense! |

| My overall stay was satisfying but if you stay in a room by the street the noise level is very heavy. Suggest staying in a room facing the courtyard if your not used to city noise. Also I was a little disapointed that they gave away my king bed just before we checked in at 5pm, I over heard the receptionist talking and they miscommunicated on saving the room. |

| Villa Florence exceeded my expectations on service, style, location, atmosphere. I would only suggest that the bathroom size be increased. My son & I shared a 2-double bed room. There was plenty of space in the room and it had a huge closet, but I could barely get in or out of the bathroom and I'm not a large person. Everything else was fantastic. The staff were eager to please and extremely helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed our "night in the city" and would highly recommend this hotel to everyone I know. |

| I was a little nervous about the hotel after reading some of the reviews, but thankfully, I was very pleasantly surprised. I was there for one night, flying in late Thursday night, so that I could tour the city for a day before heading out to Palo Alto for a wedding. The location was fantastic for this - we literally walked out of hotel and started the sight seeing. The reviews are right about the rooms being small, but we didn't need a lot of space. The room and bathroom were very clean, well appointed, and recently renovated. I do recommend getting an inside room. We arrived very late and there were none available when we finally checked in - the outside room, even being on the 5th floor, was pretty noisy. Other than that, this is a great hotel at a great price. |

| Villa Florence is in a great location being just one half block from Union Square and right on the Powell Street cable car line. We love the convenience of everything in the city being so close to us. The staff at the hotel goes out of their way to extend every courtesy and help to you. This was our third stay in this hotel and we will be returning. |

| Couldn't understand why they were only 3 stars based on the pictures until we got there.
The lobby is beautiful. And the picutres of the room are fantastic. We got a King sized room because we thought that would give a little more room but our bathroom was fit for barely one person. Check in is 3pm which seems a bit late to me.
We were asked when we checked in for a "quiet inner room" or a "room with a city view". We stated we wanted the view but we got an inner room with the view of a disgusting wall/windows of other hotel patrons. It was really unattractive. I didn't even open the shutters once.
The wallpaper was peeling in our room and our bed was sagging around our upper backs. At first it was kind of nice to have your feet elevated like that - but it's not good if you sleep on your stomach. It was still comfortable feeling and had nice touches to it but clearly needed some work. The pipes banged loudly when I went to take a shower. I could here everything going on next door - from them literally howling like wolves to talking about marijuana. Kinda kills that romantic couples getaway feel. Room service was not THAT expensive and their kids' grilled cheese meal is enought for two adults to share as a snack.
The location could not have been more ideal. Steps to the BART and cable cars to the Fishermans's Wharf. Excellent shopping and dining venues at your doorstep.
I would stay here again but I would raise a fuss if I didn't get the city view next time. It's extremely convienent and though it definitely needs some work it's still aesthetically pleasing for the most part. |
