Hotel Bijou

nice hotel/ street bums are animals

street people were yelling and honking horns way past 3:00 AM. sleep was impossible.maybe week days were quieter? real shame this is a very nice hotel,nice staff.

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.

Noisy but convenient

If you are a light sleeper do not stay here. I am a very heavy sleeper and was woken up several times by the street noise and we were on the top floor. I was shocked by how noisy it was. Best features are how close it is to the Powell station and it's not on a hill. As for the rest of it, it's fine. Nothing special. They claim to have movie themes for all the rooms but that is just the movie title on the door and one pic from the movie in the room. I put "don't recommend" because of the noise. Otherwise it's good for the price.

Room not available

The hotel switched me out of my room with two twins into a room with a Queen. Not a comfortable situation for two guys looking to attend a sporting event. We had to cancel our room and find another hotel elsewhere. Very unsatisfied.

UNLESS YOU LIKE NOISE DON'T STAY HERE!!

Besides being in a Slum Section of town, which is only annoying. The Noise from the street at night is outragious. Yes, I read the other reviews But the Reality is to be believed. Move it and it's a Great 2 1/2 Star Hotel with a very nice staff.

You get what you pay for- no pampering here

Convenient location, especially if you arrive by train/bus. Very noisy street sounds until 4AM. Breakfast bland. But price is very good for SF.

Great Hotel, Lousy Location

I loved the hotel, but the location stinks. We were only there for a quick overnight stay. At 1 in the morning they started collecting garbage! Then in the early morning hours the local drunks started shouting at each other. We didn't get a good night sleep.

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.

Good located near stations

The hotel is located near the cable car station, but is was loud in the room.
