Great value hotel in the heart of SF”

Got a fantastic deal for one night. The hotel is located right behind Parc 55 hotel on the border of Tenderloin. Very convenient location for shopping, sightseeing, dining etc., though homeless population outside the hotel is a bit of let down. but this is not too bad compared to the deep down Tenderloin. Another issue to mind would be noise level due to single glazed windows. Very friendly staff and clean property never the less.

Very good”

This is a like a boutique hotel, the room size is very small but extremely clean with beautiful design. However, it is located next to the road and the noise can be really bad. I’m not a light sleeper but I find this an issue as well. Also, there are lots of homeless people around the hotel and I was told not to walk around the hotel area at night.

nice little hotel”

everything was great, very avant grant deco, clean room, friendly staffs and great location. just one little thing i might need to mention, there was no air con in this hotel, during the day when the sun was up it could be quite hot, simply ask the staff to give u a fan.

Great location”

The hotel is a short walking distance to BART train station, Powell street tram terminal to Fisherman's Wharf, Bloomingdales and various shopping centre across the streets. You find many restaurants around this hotel. Great hotel in term of location.

the most convenient location in downtown!”

- hotel is a walking distant away from the tram station and train station, making this one of the most convenient location to stay in downtown frisco. also within walking proximity: - shopping centres & department stores (e.g. macy's) - amenities (e.g. walgreens) - restaurants - chinatown - visitor centre - indian restaurants - hotel staff are super, super friendly and nice. they would genuinely want to try to accommodate to make your trip less stressful. - though at night, it may offer a different "scene" of the area. watch out for that~! - free wifi from lobby but not in room.

Nice Hotel. Great Location. Vile surroundings”

The City of San Francisco seems to have abandoned the Union Square area to squalor, noise, dirt and poverty. Hotel Bijou is great, and I expect most of the local businesses are, but the whole are is full of homeless people. Their miserable plight, uncared for by the City, makes every journey intimidating for men, women and children. The streets here are filthy and uncleaned. Lorries and garbage collection run all night so there is no respite from noise. For shame, San Francisco. Your management of this town is a disgrace.

Excellent location”

I stayed at Hotel Bijou while attending a conference at the Moscone Center. It was the perfect location for the conference, while still being affordable and very clean, with a very friendly staff and reception. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they are clean and perfectly fine for a week.

My 3 night stay at Hotel Bijou. I would definately come back”

The hotel is affordable and clean. Those are my two main concerns. The rooms are nicely decorated and there is a San Francisco movie theme throughout. The hotel also provides brown bag breakfasts which consist of an orange or apple, a pastry or bar and a bottle of water. Location is close to everything. Yes, there are a lot of homeless people inthe area, but that is common of most of Union Square. Close the windows and you won't hear the street noise any more. Hotel Bijou is a great value for your money in a city where everything is expensive.

Very good”

Bad area but excellent hotel. It is noisey but I didn't mind after staying out late. Excellent brunch spot called Farmer Brown's down the street and BART station very close. Personal bathroom was a big plus.

So, Not-So”

The hotel located at the end of Tenderloin area where a lot of other hotels are located as well, a lot of homeless people and a bit dodgy and really smelly. No air-conditioner in the room as stated in the website. Room small, not a lot of space to move around No coffee making facilities in the room but they provide coffee and tea 24 hours at their Petite Theater in the lobby No breakfast provided, have to pay extra for it Staffs are not that friendly and do not smile at all except for the lovely lady Nannuate (if I'm not mistaken her name) and Eric Basically, if you can find a better hotel, please book elsewhere

Lovely hotel with very helpful service”

The front desk was attentive to my requests and ensured that they were addressed on the same day. They greet guests with a smile, are always willing to share local information on places to check out, from shopping and food to sightseeing locations. While I was there, I ordered some items online and had them sent to the hotel without a problem. I just had to drop by the front desk, verify my room number with them and pick up the items when they arrived. Great professionalism on their part!

Great Location and helpful staffs”

We were very satisfied with our stay. The hotel is okay and worth the money. There were very bummers outside the hotel and we can hear the noise outside our room. But overall, we love our stay in this hotel.

Good service and excellent location”

Hotel Bijou, very close to the Powell Station and the Union Square, is a good choice for a visitor who is in need of covenient transporation and lots of dining and shopping choices. The staffs are very helpful, and the room is spacious regardinf for the price and this expensivce location. I stayed for 5 nights there, and my room is just facing the street. A few traffic noise was heard especillay noticed in the early morning, but it would not bother me at all.

Fantastic Location Large clean rooms”

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Bijou. We wanted to be close to downtown Union Square so we could walk anywhere or to a tram line. That is exactly what we go. So close and easy to explore the city. Large clean rooms which had all we needed. Friendly staff just topped it off. Would definately recommend

Great location, helpful staff”

Great location is the long suit trumps. The room I had was small but workable. All the other positives were extras to the location, in my opinion. It's always a pleasure to spend some time in downtown San Francisco. I would be happy to stay there again.

Simple hotel”

This hotel was ok, however there were a lot of homeless people are the hotel. Even had one who was a little drunk that sat at the hotel lobby. Went to the back lane and u would see a lot more of these folks. Tey are harmless but you may tend to worry ESP they are mainly drunk.

Good value hotel in central location”

Staff very helpful and friendly, good central location, homeless people around made us a bit uneasy but were somewhat entertaining too, room was dated but clean and a good size with a comfortable bed and good shower, might be hot in the summer as no air con but we cooled off our room at the end of every day by opening the window for a while, wifi didn't quite reach our room so we had to sit in the hall to use it which was kind of frustrating.

Simple hotel with a good location”

A good hotel for those not concerned with staying in a fancy place. Breakfast buffet offered for around $7 (nothing special), with tea and coffee always available. Voices traveled pretty well through the air duct in the bathroom from other room as I could hear others while I was in the bathroom. I didn't spend much time in the hotel, so it worked fine for me. Front desk staff were friendly. I didn't have maids clean my room at all during my stay so I can't comment on that service.

Perfect yet not so perfect location”

This was the first time my boyfriend had visited San Francisco and I wanted to book a hotel in the city but convenient since we didn't have a car. This hotel was a short block from the Bart/Muni stations and Cable Car stop. Lots of shops and restaurants around the area, very lively if that's what you like. But I was hesitant since I read a lot of negative reviews about the area. It's true...turn around the corner and there's homeless people, drug addicts, and fighting going on. It didn't bother us but some of the homeless are kind of forward. Just don't be rude or confrontational. Most of the time, we just walked by and didn't make eye contact. We stayed in Rm 403 (corner room in front) which allowed a lot of noise in but we didn't mind. Front desk staff was great except for an older Caucasion women who wasn't very friendly but not mean. Overall, I would totally come back.

Great location”

The location of this hotel is excellent. Close to the BART station as well as other attractions. The homeless people seen hanging around the hotel did not bother me at all. For those light sleepers, you may wish to consider bringing along earplugs. Counter staff were friendly and helpful. Other than that, it was a good stay.
