My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Bijou in San Francisco in April 2012. The staff were all very nice and the room was very clean. The hotel has a movie theater inside and each room is named after a movie filmed in San Francisco. We stayed in the Presido room which was cool since I am a big... More

Dear guest, The hotel bijou is located in the border of the tenderloin area, but please take into consideration that there are larger branded 5 star hotels surrounding our hotel just as well in the same area. You will encounter homeless people all over San Francisco. In regards to no a/c at the hotel we have very little need, in... More

this looked like a cute hotel on the website however when we arrived it was quite dated and in need of refurbishment. The lift was very noisy and we could hear it all night in our room (600). For the two nights we stayed there, there was hot water only once for one shower. We advised of this and still... More

Dear guest Thank you for trying out the Hotel Bijou, good location as mentioned close to shopping and various tourist attractions, yes the hotel is close to the dodgy end, but there is no need to go into the Tenderloin area as that is behind the hotel, and all tourist attractions, or financial area are to the east or north...

I was stranded in San Fran due to a late incoming flight so I called h-t--s.com and when I found Hilton and Marriott booked they suggested this hotel. Although it is somewhat on the edge where you need to be careful in which direction you walk at night it is no different in that respect from the Hilton one block... More

We booked this hotel because it was the cheapest we found on Bing and there were no reports of bed bugs for 2012. Other reviewers warned about the surrounding location, and they were right. It's a very sketchy part of the city. The streets and shops are fine, it's just there was a lot of vagrants around. The hotel staff... More

I know you have heard alot about this hotel, but this one is standard digs, with a GREAT LOCATION. Beware, some people will NOT like this hotel. Its right up against the Tenderloin area, with homeless and some street 'characters', 4 blocks away is a tough area where anything goes, but at the hotel and a couple blocks each way... More

This hotel has a fantastic location. It's close to Powell Bart station, the tram and Union Square. It's right there where all of the shops are so one can pop out to do a bit of shopping or grab a bite to eat and go back to the room to unload or take a nap or eat a bite. The... More

The location was perfect, and the hotel was a good value. Clean, comfortable rooms for a good value. Also, their free coffee was top rate - not what you normally get for hotel coffee. The staff was also superb, friendly and very helpful.

In mid December 2011 we stayed at the Hotel Bijou over a weekend. A few days before we arrived the staff called me to explain that their website reservation system wasn't working right and that my quoted rate was too high. They cancelled the reservation and made a new one over the phone. The rate dropped from about $180 per... More
