Location: The Villa Florence hotel is in a very central location just off the famous Union Square. Beautiful shops and many forms of transport are just outside the door. The hotel is very clean with L'Occataine bathroom products renewed every day. There is free Internat and printing facilities in the hotel behind reception. The price per night is expensive (€146...

Couldn't beat the location. Perfect for what I needed and wanted to do in SF. I had been warned about not getting a room that faces the street, and I can understand why - Powell Street is a heavily-trafficked street with a cable car (think "clang, clang"). But the interior room was quiet and very comfortable. I wasn't inexpensive, but... More

In San Francisco for a conference and the conference hotel was full. The Villa Florence was nearby and a much more reasonable price. My single room was a bit small and on an air shaft, which meant it was quiet, but there was nothing to look out at. It was clean and well equipped. I really appreciated the free wifi.... More

Expedia had a terrific rate for this hotel in the heart of Union Square ( $111 per night) so I grabbed it. Impressive lobby, great staff, great location. The rooms are oddly shaped but decent decor and comfortable. My room had 2 small issues- the tv shut itself off every 30 minutes ( no timer issue- I checked) and as... More

If you are like me, you have been researching for weeks figuring what area of San Fran to stay in - this hotel is the perfect spot! Right on Powell St. is where you want to stay if you want a central stay. I don't think you could get closer to the downtown action, middle of it all kind of... More

Best location - close to everything. Lobby is beautiful, staff is uber friendly and rooms are nice for a historic hotel (crisp bedding, L'Occitane shower stuffs). Great little pizza by the slice / burger (incl turkey,vege burgers) / frozen yogurt shop right next door. Will book again and again, regardless of what price pops up on the travel sites.. More

We had a phenomenal stay. Best Location, Best Value, Best Staff, Best Lobby. The staff went above and beyond our expectations to ensure our stay was fantastic. The beds were sooo comfortable. I visited all the other hotels we considered staying at-- We hit the JackPopt with Villa Florence. Highly recommend this upscale boutique hotel with 2 great restaurants included.... More

We where very unaware that this hotel was so close the SF worst area. The tenderloin. But we soon where as my son in law as paying the bill was robbed. The guy had the nerve to ask for a pen in the reception and on walking out lifted up the bag (with computers, camera etc) just a meter away.... More

We had some business to take care near Union Square and the location of this hotel was a big plus. The rate we signed up for was $159 a night but with valet parking and admin fees we came to $250 for the night. When booking on line for hotels and such and they say no booking fees they should...
