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

I took my family for the Giants game and I reserved the rooms three months in advance. At first they weren’t going to give me the two beds room for my son and his friend which are rwo adult men. They eventually found something. The keypads on the rooms didn’t work very good at all. It was a struggle to get in the rooms. Had to pay $40 for overnight parking at a local park garage. There is a lot of homeless people but hey it’s San Francisco you expect that. Other than those issues it was a nice hotel.

So loud. We did not sleep at all even with earplugs. Cars and screaming unhoused people day and night. No parking on site (which was advertised). No free drink as advertised (not a big deal but added to it). When we called they said they could not hold our luggage for us while we ran a race locally. Breakfast was coffee and yogurt. Group of unhoused sleep by the front door of the building

Cute boutique hotel with great employees. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Its not luxury but does have a lot of character that gives you a taste of art deco for a reasonable price. Chris was the best and really does change your perspective once inside. The only downfall is the homless problem right outside and around the corner. There is also no AC, but that wasn't a issue with the weather being cool and the window being operable. Lastly, the hotel is close to public transportation making the location very accessible.

the hotel was surrounded by homeless people and trash. there was a group of homeless people sitting outside the hotel. the hotel locked from the inside out to keep the rif raff out. there was trash everywhere. I didn't feel safe. It was very noisy, there were ear plugs left next to the bed to drown it out. I asked for a blanket and they didn't have any. it was a bad experience.

VERY CLEAN ROOM!

Hotel experience was excellent in terms of the cleansiness of the room and comfort and the service received from staff. Paid $35 for parking next block there is public parking on same street Mason. If you tell them you're staying at the hotel you could possibly get a discout because parking fee could be up to $50 per day.

Clean, comfortable beds, close to Union Square and Moscone. Rooms are small. Hot water was an issue (that wasn't fixed), and our room didn't have internet access (and the staff said they couldn't do anything). Housekeeping was only offered every other day. The room had earplugs and a noise machine in the nightstand, a bad sign. We could hear people yelling in the street and loud cars going by at night. On the plus side, the staff was very friendly, they offered coffee and muffins in the morning, and the beds were super comfortable.
