We stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights, which is probably enough. Yes, it is close to some of the dodgier areas but it is also close to Union Square and other, more accessible areas (you could tell where you should and should not go). We did have some problems: on our arrival at the hotel we were... more

This hotel is located close to Union Square, but also to a neighborhood that isn't very nice for tourists at all. The rooms are small, but okay if you'll only have to stay here for some days. There are no A/C in the rooms, which can be quite annoying since the hotel is heated constantly. The frontdesk staff is really... more

I have stayed here four times in the last couple of years and can't seem to find a fault with the hotel. The area is fantastically convieniant being two minutes from Union Square, the Cable Cars, Bart and the Trolleys. The price to stay in this area is normally a lot higher that the prices at the Bijou. The rooms... more

We visited San Fran at the end of March 2008 and booked a last minute hotel through Hotwire. I was somewhat concerned about the pick after I read the reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. No the rooms don't have A/C, yes, even in March it got stuffy and we would open the window. I loved the charm of the... more

I stayed at this Hotel a while ago, but I never had the chance to review. The Hotel is located right in Union Square and about a 1 minute walk to the BART. The rooms are very clean and the decor is cool. Very old Hollywood glamour. I really enjoyed my stay there. The staff was friendly and helpful. The... more

Pretty much same review as Keduf. I had to drag the guy away from the TV to check us in, he wasn't happy about being disturbed. We had booked 2 double beds but got a room with 1 double bed and no light in the room. I went back and got another room that ended up being 2 single beds.... more

I arrived in this hotel and was at first very happy that the hotel was situated in walking distance of Union Square and the shops. However when I arrived, the hotel was busy and disorganised and we waited a long time to checked in. All the patrons were getting angry because the hotel was over booked and they kept transferring... more

This was a last minute idea to stay in San Francisco on a holiday weekend (Memorial Day), searching for a good priced hotel near Union Square the night before we wanted to go. We got lucky with Hotel Bijou and a AAA rate of $117 for a Saturday night. I read the reviews and felt ok about booking it. We... more

From the moment we first arrived it was pretty much one bad experience after another..Firstly, we arrive at 3pm to be told our room is not ready and to come back in an hour..No drama..Off we go to get something to eat and one hour later arrive back to be checked in by some ditsy airhead who I heard mutter... more
