Das Hotel ist insgesamt sehr nett gestaltet und sauber. Alle Einrichtungen funktionierten und waren gepflegt ,wenn auch nicht auf dem letzten Stand der Technik. Aus dem liebevoll gestalteten Kinosaal z.B. könnte man mit neuerer Technik ein Schmuckstück machen. Das Frühstück haben wir nicht eingenommen, da es unserer Ansicht nach nicht lohnt. In der […] Umgebung gibt es jede Menge Möglichkeiten seine Frühstückswünsche zu erfüllen. Die Lage ist sehr zentral in der Innenstadt und man kann alles zu Fuss oder mit den tollen alten Strassenbahnen erreichen (sehr billig !). Die Cable Car ist auch nur eine Ecke weiter ,aber halt etwas ganz besonderes und deutlich teurer. Man sollte sein Auto in ein Parkhaus der Nachbarschaft abstellen. Auf der Strasse vor dem Hotel sind sehr viele Obdachlose ,der Preis für die zentrale Lage... Insgesamt würde ich das Hotel wieder buchen ,aber dann den Airport Shuttle Service des Hotels nutzen und den Mietwagen später abholen. Vermietstationen sind z.B. im Parkhaus an der nächsten Ecke. Das kostet ein paar Tage Mietwagen weniger und man spart auch noch die Parkgebühren. Mehr

ideal gelegenes Hotel für Städtetrip SF

Das Hotel ist sehr gut mit der BART vom Flughafen zu erreichen und liegt sehr zentral. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, jedoch etwas klein. Das Zimmer lag gegen den Innenhof, darum war es ruhig. Das Hotel ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Beware, if the front desk puts you in a room anywhere near the elevator you will be up all night listening to it groan and hum up and down right in your ear. We were right next to it and my daughter and I were up at 3:00 am listening to the ancient elevator. I will not be staying here again. The only benefit is the proximity to Union Square, although […] around the corner is the drug addicted population of San Fran, so you should be street wise if you stay at the Bijou or even the Hilton downtown.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, the room was absolutely fine and the location is ideal for venturing all over the city by foot, MUNI, and BART. Great, great hotel for the price point and location. Thank you, Hotel Bijou!

The stay wasn't the worse but it wasn't the best. The location of this hotel is on the border of the Tenderloin -- which means a lot of homeless people asking you for money or harassing you every half a block. And right next door is a low-income housing apartment building. The room itself was ok, but there was a constant odor throughout the room that […] smelled like moth balls. We had them spray Lysol and it worked for the night, but the smell was back the next day. Even with the window open it was always there. But the price was great for a downtown hotel. Mehr

We enjoyed our stay. Hotel was right downtown in the midst of Union Square and shooping and restaurants.

Wifi was slow or up and down. Hot water didn't work. After calling maintenance they fixed it, but admitted the WiFi was a challenge. On the fringe of a rough neighborhood. Overall, I wouldn't go back.

I enjoyed the free movies (San Francisco classic films) and popcorn. There was also free hot chocalate, coffe and tea offered 24 hrs. Hotel staff was very helpfull answering tourist questions. Pleasant stay.

Location is very central, the hotel staff is friendly, and the price is right. But the quality of the rooms are just average: old TV (no cable, premium channels), small space, poor furnishing, no A/C. It's fine for the price, but it's not memorable in any other sense.

Finding bed bugs in our room was a little bit of a downer!...the worst part is the hotel was aware of their problem and actually thought we would stay in another room! DO NOT STAY HERE!!

When gabe taxi driver offers to wait until your inside your hotel you know your in the ghetto. It's in the heart of the tenderloin. They don't have A/C, the hot water in the shower didn't work and the tv was from 1970 I think. We made the best of it, but you couldnt pay me to stay here again.

I found the hotel to be clean, hotel staff courteous and friendly. Hotel lacks amenities. Tremendous noise level outside building resulting in loss of sleep.

This is a basic little hotel, no-frills. The desk help was nice enough. The surrounding neighborhood is a little sketchy but close to Union Square and Market St.

Look, this hotel firmly straddles the Union Square area and the Tenderloin. As such, the neighborhood leaves much to be desired. And yes, the street noise is significant and the bed was a little tired and thin. But, the room was clean, the staff friendly, the location great for a night of drinking at Pandora Karaoke, and the price was right. If better […] rooms can be had in this area for the same price, I haven't found them, not in the past 4 years anyway. Mehr

the edge the location was right on the edge of the part of town that locals advise you stay out of so walking back to our room at night was dicey...one block too far could be bad. We drove through that area during the day and it was pretty scary looking. The "themed" rooms were disappointing... It amounted to a plaque on the door and a photo frame containing […] two photos from the movie. The bathroom offered no counter for toiletiries except behind the toilet. There was a weird vanity style window behind the toilet which appeared to be for access to pipes but it allowed sound to travel from rooms above and below...no privacy. Staff was friendly and helpful, the building was very old but taken care of. Mehr

The front desk was very friendly, gave us a good deal due to not having a room we booked. Small room but clean bathroom.

The hotel is very conveniently located near the Powell BART Station, Market Street and shopping. The hotel staff was wonderful and made us feel welcome. The rooms were quite adequate, clean and had comfortable beds. I've certainly paid more for less in the past. The major downside is the hotel is located at the edge of the Tenderloin area. If you're […] traveling by yourself I wouldn't choose this location.There are drug users, mentally ill people and vagrants walking the streets. We were in a group and never felt threatened. For sure, if you're from out-of-town, take a few minutes to orient yourself -- maybe ask hotel staff for advice, and make sure you walk toward the BART Station and Market Street, and not in the other directions which would take you further into the Tenderloin. The only other downside is that San Francisco is very noisy. The street noise and undesirables yelling may make it difficult to sleep if you're a light sleeper. Overall, I'd say Hotel Bijou is a good value in an expensive hotel marketplace, as long as you aren't expecting luxury and perfection. Mehr

Hotel was nice,, but area is shadey.

Sweet room with charm. Staff is very nice! Movie & popcorn theatre!!! Location is very close to everything you need in SF!! Loud in morning, but it IS the middle of the city, so what do you expect?

Miserable corner full of drug addicts. Loud all night. Tired interiors, soft matresses. Look elsewhere.

For the price this was a great little hotel!

Great location if you are going out with a few friend! Close to nice bars and clubs. Clean and friendly staff!

Cute hotel the staff very very accomodating!!! Location rocked as it is in the heart of the city. The only negative I have? Either change the cleaning solutions or detergent... Not good for people that have sensitive allergies. Very over powering.

Staff was helpful for the most part. The noise from the street was awful even on the 6th floor. Trash pickup everyday at 5am, people yelling until all hours of the night. Not very restful. Valet parking was extremely slow, suggest self-park if you can manage the walk. Hard to find the hotel as the sign is a bit small. Elevator is old and very noisy. […] My room was right next to the elevator so all I heard all day and night was the sound of it going up and down. Bathroom amenities were nice and the bathroom was clean. Room was a good size and easy to get around in. I was lucky to find a room at such a late booking time so I didn't complain to management. All in all, it was an ok stay and I would recommend the place to others looking for last minute reservations. However, if you can plan ahead, you might want to try someplace a bit more quiet. Mehr

The hotel is good value for money. The hotel has an older traction elevator that can be noisy, so ask for a room not next to elevator if groaning sounds bother you. It is on the edge of the Tenderloin district, so there is some riffraff around, but that's the case with SF in general.

First time ever to have to use a plunger on a toilet in a hotel. The room was run down. They did wash our truck before they brought it to us when we checked out. All in all it felt dirty and in a bad neighborhood!

This hotel was advertising itself as a "Themed" Hotel. The theme was that each of the rooms was themed after a movie filmed in San Francisco. The theme in the room consisted of one picture. That was it. Rooms were very small and very outdated.

The rooms were small but clean and neat. The hotel is very well situated but right on the edge of some pretty bad neighborhood. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Clean rooms, good price, free internet, friendly service, proximity to Union Square and BART stations are a plus. However, the hotel lies at the intersection of the bustling Union Square (north of Eddy) and the seedy Tenderloin districts (south of Eddy). The streets adjacent to the hotel (Eddy, Taylor & Turk) are dotted with drug addicts and homeless […] folks and you'll hear plenty of police car sirens. The hotel staff helpfully provided ear plugs, but the street noises are overwhelming during the night. Mehr

Friendly staff and good location... But the hotel is old and had a lot of street noise, there were cakes of dust in the room, bed was old and lumpy, and the shampoo was a manufacturers free sample (a leftover from someone's magazine?). If it were a youth hostel, and priced and marketed as a youth hostel, I'd give it a good score. But given the price […] and ratings this was a pure disappointment. Would NOT recommend. Mehr

the hotel was in a great place location wise, but the surrounding area was terrible. there were bums and crazy drug addicts that scream and fight outside the window , the room was tiny and the tv didnt work and there were dirty handprints on the walls. we were supposed to have continental breakfast but when we checked out they charged us 14$, and we […] were supposed to have gotten it on a discounted rate but we paid a lot for the room and it was terrible. just spend a little more and go somewhere safe Mehr

When I walked into my room, I thought it was a closet with no window! I had to actually look for the window that was heavily draped, no more than 6sq ft total and behind a tall dresser and an old TV. The bathroom was so small that I had to basically squeeze in - horrendous. There is no space left after a double bed either. Spend an extra 35-50$ and […] get a better place just up the street This place made my 2 day stay in SF very depressing - pass this rubbish of a hotel The evening staff that checked me in was great, however the night fellow was just rude and NOT a pleasant guy The neighborhood is seedy and you will most likely have to trip over a few bums if you stay out past 10pm Mehr

We found a dead bed bug in our room. None of us had any bites but it was terrifying that we may be bringing them with us on the next leg of our journey to LA. Our friend who we were stayed with would not have been very happy, and neither would I. You get what you pay for I guess.

Very interesting hotel. Each room is themed for a classic movie. Two theaters showing classic films free for guests. The down side is that it is on the edge of a terrible neighborhood with prostitutes and drug dealers pitching their services loudly all night long.

title says it all. I should note that I travel to this area of San Francisco at least 1/year for the last 16 years. This was the worst experience, by far!

Even the air heating is not working in everyroom, the front desk's good attitude towards this problem makes me feel responsible. And they are really at a very convenient location except there are so many homeless around, not recommend for a single young lady to go out at night alone.
