Location is very convenient to BART/Muni/cable/surface transit. Rooms aren't huge but more than adequate. Other people seemed to enjoy the b'fast (we tend to want more than continental to start our day). It is true that there are some, shall we say, "unkempt" people in the immediate neighborhood. It's a major city, one needs to expect some of that. I... more

We stayed at Hotel Bijou for 6 nights, and we couldn't have been more pleased during our stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was named after the movie Cujo, (each room is named after a cinema movie, as the hotel has an classics movie theme.) The room was quite adequate space for two individuals.... more

We were looking for a reasonably priced hotel in San Francisco. We didn't think we'd be able to find something for a good price that was nice, but the Hotel Bijou was exactly what we needed. The room was nice (small, but clean and cozy). The front desk workers were helpful and kind. We enjoyed the location of the hotel.... more

I've been to SF at the beginning of march on a business trip and this time we were on a "low budget" deal. The hotel is small and same goes for the rooms (but not quite different than other hotels in SF for that matter). Rooms are clean and reasonably comfortable, but wow are they noisy. There wasn't a single... more

A Friend and I are both Travel Agents and weren't able to secure any accommodation at last minute through our normal means due to San Fran being heavilly booked with conferences etc so we searched availability through the WEB. Hotel Bijou popped up as available and great value so we took it. Yes we read the reviews and were a... more

We got a great rate for our stay, so this is a positive review based on this value. However, had I paid the normal rates I see online ($100 and more), I would have regretted not upgrading to a different 3-star hotel for similar money. Why? The rooms are 2-star. They are loud, thin walls and old windows, the faucets... more

We stayed at the Hotel Bijou for a week at the end of a long (7 week) vacation. Our stay in San Francisco was a relaxing, pleasant way to wind things down and we felt that the location of this hotel made getting around simple and stress free. It is on a bit of a shady street, seriously just a... more

If you are on a budget this hotel is for you.......yes the rooms can be on the small side but if you want a bigger room then pay more money and stay somewhere else. I could not fault how clean the place and my partner was very impressed when we came home and the housemaid had even folded his PJ's.... more

Stayed with my wife in the hotel during December 2008. Location: The Location is great - right in the heart of San Francisco. Union Square (Macys etc.), cable car, bus stations right around the corner. Fishermans wharf is about 40 minutes by foot Security: The hotel itsself seems to be on the border to the "bad" neighboorhood, but we were... more
