I checked in late due to a delayed flight. Upon arriving at the hotel, I discovered that my room was not clean or repaired as promised. It took me an hour to receive my room key and finally get to my room. To make matters worse, the night shift girls in charge of the front desk were unfriendly and unfriendly when I arrived.

Noisy, dirty neighborhood. All night homeless making noise and fighting in the street. Racing cars and loud music from cars. Not good for kids. Hotel itself inside was great. No good parking options. Nearby parking for $50 a night.

This unassuming hotel on the edge of the Tenderloin was spotlessly clean and comfortable, and a very good value for a no frills budget hotel. Easy check in, a friendly staff, and a good location close to public transit means that I will stay there again.

Avoid

This hotel is in the Tenderloin. The noise from the street is very loud and chaotic. The staff was fine but took a follow up to get my receipt emailed to me. The beds were bad, sheets stained, toilet didn’t flush properly, handle on the faucet kept falling off. The lobby looks nice but the rest was a disaster.

Pros: -lovely hotel staff -greeted at check in with a glass of wine -truly beautiful decor and renovations; art nouveau inspired and 1920s looks throughout -clean!! -good water pressure in shower -walkable neighborhood with lots of great restaurants and cafes nearby -walking distance to Chinatown (20 min walk) -low deposit cost!! ($100) -secure bag storage on site! Skip using a sketchy bag storage location nearby and simply lock them in a provided locker for free! We kept 4 bags in the hotel until our late flight and it was a lifesaver -close to a great cannabis smoking lounge (Barbary Coast) Cons: -NOISE!! My guess is that the windows are older so they are not sound proof. Even on the 6th floor, we could hear the street noise to a point that it would wake us up sometimes. I know that the hotel is aware of this, as they did provide earplugs. I hope they can install better windows in the future. - Older hotels in San Fran have smaller rooms, keep that in mind and be ready for quirky bathroom layouts etc to accommodate the small footprint of each room Important: YES this hotel is on the edge of the Tenderloin district. Be smart and use common sense for larger cities. We didn’t feel unsafe as we didn’t walk through the Tenderloin/Little Saigon. YES, there are lots of folks living on the streets. This is San Fran, it carries a long history of housing issues. Be kind, be courteous, be respectful, see people with love, not fear.

I booked this property without looking at other reviews so I was a little freaked out when I saw some of the others commenting on noise and safety HOWEVER I had a fantastic stay here. The room was nice and clean - I didn't have any noise issues and generally speaking I felt safe as long as I was aware of my surroundings. It's in a very convenient area with lots of transit nearby and it's very walkable. The staff were incredibly nice - the restaurant looked nice in theory though it was never open when I was there. People are complaining about the breakfast but I don't understand that - you get enough to get you going for the day and even that's big for such an expensive city. I would stay here again if I return!

Weekend Stay at the Bijou

We did a weekends stay at the Hotel Bijou. The interior of the hotel fine and the rooms were quite nice. The photos made it look like the bar and dining room were functional and open for business but they were not. I loved the toiletries. The shampoo, conditioner and body wash were quite nice. There are no key cards for your room or the main entrance, but rather a 6 digit number that needed to be punched int a key pad. We did have some struggles with that. The only other check mark in the "poor" catagory was the urine smell outside the hotel. It was overwhelming at times
