Hotell Hotel Bijou - San Francisco

Gästen lämnade inga kommentarer.

Mycket trafik, oljud. Skumma uteliggare i kvarteret, känns inte tryggt att gå ut på kvällarna. Slitet hotell, trist frukost.

Hotellet var verkligen trevligt, synnerligen prisvärt och ur shopping- och kommunikationssynpunkt är läget perfekt - Downtown, precis bredvid slut/startstationen för Cable Car-linjen till Fisherman's Wharf, och pendeltågsstationen Powell (Bart) som går till flygplatsen. Problemet är bara att de omgivande gatorna - Eddie och Ellis befolkas av San Franciscos […] hemlösa, vilket märks. De var inte aggressiva, men det var inte roligt att se detta förskräckliga elände varje dag, och ha dem sjungandes/bråkandes/ropandes utanför fönstret dygnet runt, och det hördes mest på natten. Vi hade läst i förväg om det s k Tenderloin district, som börjar vid Mason street och sträcker sig västerut längs Market fram till ungefär Leavenworth. Norrgränsen utgörs av ca Post. Om ni har möjlighet att undvika att bo i detta område - ta den! Läs mer

Man har nära till det mesta, shopping och cablecars som tar dig ner till pier 39. Men man bör vara uppmärksam på folket som rör sig där, många uteliggare.

Charmful hotel with setting of an old theatre, small cinema in the receotion, free coffee at all times. Close to down town shopping. If possible, avoid rooms 200, 300, 400, 500 etc; the elevator will keep you awake late nights and early mornings! Ok breakfast, room with fridge. Parking close by at a reasonable cost.

I really appreciated my stay at Hotel Bijou. The staff was helpful and the room was nice and clean to an affordable price. The hotel is situated just off Market Street only a couple of blocks away from Union Square. In my opinion this is the area to stay while in San Francisco because you are close to nice restaurants, clubs, shopping, and it is only […] a 15-20 minute walk down to the ferry building at Embarcadero for further transportation to Sausailto or Tiburon.

This is a gem, to cherish in San Francisco. Lovely place. Near to places to see and shop at. Nice staff, very very nice staff. Helpful and calm people. Happy smiles all over the place. From guests and personell.

Vi bodde här i fyra nätter. Personalen var mycket vänliga och servicinriktade. Hotellet låg centralt i San Francisco. Enda nackdelen var att det var en hel del uteliggare på gatorna runt omkring. Vi hade rum ut mot gatan så vi hörde en hel del trafik. Vi bor gärna här igen då det positiva övervägde det negativa.

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. Läs mer

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. Läs mer

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. Läs mer

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. Läs mer

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.

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. Läs mer

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. Läs mer

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 Läs mer

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 Läs mer

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.
