Hotel Bijou

Bijou mean escape in Russian

If you are a pimp or street worker, this is a great place for you. If you like sirens at 3 am, this is a great place. No AC, small beds and rooms, little pressure in the shower.

Good value, but room for improvement...

Love the coziness of the hotel, very friendly staff, very conveniently located close to a lot of transport options, by only objections was the surroundings, and the fact that the room didnt have A/C. If you tried to open the window you could listened way to much of what happened in the street, mostly fights of homeless and other people passing by.

I stayed at "Basic instinct"

The hotel is very nice for the money I spent. A sports bar right next door created a high volume some nights, especially around closing time at 2am. The neighbouring area is a bit uncomfortable and feels unsafe when daylight is out.

Great Service

The hotel service was great. It was easy to get to and conveniently located to all mass transit. I was worried about some of the reviews I read on the hotel pertaining to the homeless element. There were a lot of vagrants in the area, but that’s expected in a big city. I asked a police officer two blocks away if the hotel was in a safe location and he said not to travel west on Eddy (the cross street) of the hotel, and that he had never had any problems there. The rooms are very clean, but small and the noise outside is loud at night and early morning. The continental breakfast was OK. It’s from 8-10. I would get there early though. When they run out of coffee or bagels after 9:30 or so, they don’t replenish. The staff was very nice and helpful. If I were to stay there again, I would ask for a room on the Mason St. side or the back side of the building; Eddy St. is just too loud.

needs improvement

The hotel staff goes out of their way to be friendly but the hotel is old and needs to be renovated, carpet is old and dirty. the lobby smells like mold. The rooms are extremely small and have no airconditioning. It is difficult to cool off because if you open your window all you hear is street noise and people yelling. In fact, they give you earplugs. Beds are old and uncomfortable. Rooms are small and tv channels limited. i would not recommend this hotel.

Hotel ok, but horrible location

For an inexpensive stay in the city, the value is good. HOWEVER, the location is not good. There is SO MUCH noise.....and by noise I mean gun shots in the middle of the night and people screaming. Plus the walls are paper thin so if you have loud neighbors, it is annoying.

GREAT HOTEL!!!!

This hotel totally exceeded my expectations! The decor was inviting, the bed was the first EVER that I didn't want to get out of!!! I love this hotel!!!

Cute Hotel for a Reasonable Price- Great Staff

Stayed there for 3 nights and had absolutely no problems. The staff was excessively friendly and helpful. Yes, the hotel is on the border of a more run-down neighborhood...but it's also right next to the Powell BART stop and incredibly close to the Union Square shopping district! There are homeless people everywhere in SF, so it wasn't a big deal at all. The hotel just happens to sit right on the edge-- you can see homeless people AND a Nordstrom from the front door. Nice continental breakfast, clean rooms. Definitely will stay again.

Good room for the money

It was a good room for the price. Was in a decent neighborhood around some nice international restaurants. The service was good and breakfast decent.
