Our Hotel Planner Expert Reviews of Hotel Bijou
Our expert hotel planners periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person."Clean, very affordable hotel with a cute theme"
Overall Score3.5/ 5
Hotel Bijou is an excellent option for travelers on a budget. The rooms are small and basic, but are clean and have a distinct charm to them. The hotel is 'film' themed, and a small movie theater off of the main lobby plays nightly movies for up to 20 or so guests. The staff is very kind, and continental breakfast is provided in the breakfast room for a small fee. I was unable to get onto the internet while there, which other reviews have suggested is a regular issue. One other issue with this hotel is that it is in a very edgy neighborhood - while not unsafe or dangerous, precaution should still be taken by guests coming in and out at night. Guests might also consider cabbing to their desired destinations rather than walking, which is not a big deal since most major tourists attractions (such as Union Square) are quite close.

Property Description
Located near downtown San Francisco, moments from the Moscone Convention Center, public transportation, great shopping and nightlife, Hotel Bijou brings together historic elegance, modern comfort, and eclectic style like few hotels near Union Square. With a unique spirit that reflects our personal energy, this landmark hotel was built in 1914 and recently underwent a full renovation. The result is an Art Deco design that transports you to the roaring 20s while offering all the contemporary amenities you expect from plush pillows, luxury linens, reliable high-speed Internet to high-end toiletries. After a day of traveling, having meetings or exploring San Francisco. Our central Union Square location puts the best of San Francisco at your doorstep. From shopping, dining, and strolling in the immediate neighborhood to visiting landmarks such as Fishermans Wharf, Alcatraz Island, Golden Gate Park, the Powell Street Cable Car Line, Oracle Park, and more, Hotel Bijou is the perfect home base for your California experience. We are also conveniently close to the Bay to Breakers race and San Francisco Pride. Come to Hotel Bijou and experience timeless architectural beauty and vibrant ambiance amidst the colorful and innovative people who make San Francisco one of the most iconic cities in the world.
