http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/hid32207 TravelPost.com - Hotel reviews, information, and rates from thousands of websites http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428066 I found this hotel to be well-placed near the BART station and only a couple of blocks away from the conference center. Room was very clean, and staff were friendly. Take note though, it is right on the edge of a sketchy area. Turn one way, you're fine, turn the other, and you meet some very interesting people. Also, quite a bit of noise at night from the street, though this didn't seem to bother my sleeping. Overall a good experience, but if noise bothers you, I'd pay a bit more for a hotel with rooms higher up or further from the tenderloin district. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428066 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428067 I found this hotel to be well-placed near the BART station and only a couple of blocks away from the conference center.

Hotel corner feels quite safe; although the area away from Powell St. may feel slightly sketchy sometimes, all other directions feel safe--bustling downtown feel. Room is clean, great condition, good architectural character. Nightly movies a special touch. Hotel, lobby, & room all a comfortable size. Quiet (4th floor room). Breakfast (included) is minimum-standard: white bread, manufactured muffins, packaged cream. Bkfst room is overlit w/ fluorescents--hospital cafeteria feel. A minor drawback. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428068 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428069 What a nice idea for a hotel! I love movies, so the movie-themed Hotel Bijou was perfect for me. The location is fantastic, close to the Cablecar Turnaround, subway station, and bus stops.Yes it's noisy, but my visit was in December, so I closed the windows at night. Since the rooms have no AC, it can be harder to get sleep in the summer.This is a great hotel, upbeat and nicely decorated (not EVERYTHING is white!) The movie shows in the evening were a great plus, and breakfast was enough to get me well fueled to roam SF. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428069 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r708709 One staff member was very nice. The morning coffee and bagel was good.My reservation was for a queen bed and I got two twin beds on my wedding night. No parking available.“My reservation was for a queen bed and I was given a choice of two rooms with twin beds. Bad location, bad service. There was no parking. I had to pay over $30 for parking.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r708709 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428070 "This is a great hotel in an expensive neighborhood. I stayed here while attending a conference at the S.F. Hilton, up the block, at less than half the rate. The Hotel Bijou is good, clean, with friendly staff. It's maybe a little noisy outside at night, especially Saturday, but that didn't bother me much. It might bother others. What did bother me was the number of vargrants hanging around outside. Never on the hotel property, but always within, say 100 ft. It just made me uncomfortable." http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428070 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428071 i liked staying here. the younger staff was fun and helpful. the older people were grumpy aor compative i could have done well without that http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428071 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428072 Ideally located. Two blocks from Powell BART station. One reader suggested to request higher up room which I did. No problems with street noise. Staff very friendly (say hello to Ed). Europeanlike small but comfortable rooms and bath. Clean. Movie themed rooms. Small movie theater in the lobby which shows movies at night. Get the 3day trolley car pass and BART ticket and you're ready to go anywhere. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428072 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r708710 Very helpful staff and very good location in San Francisco.Nothing.“Very colorful surroundings with a great staff. Clean secure rooms. ” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r708710 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428073 We enjoyed our stay here. The staff are really friendly and helpful with information on the area and using the public transport options. We had an early flight so they had breakfast ready earlier than normal for us. The location is great - handy to shops and transport and felt safe to be out at night. Very clean and tidy hotel - we enjoyed their bagels and muffins. Our two double bed room was quite small and faced the street so the nights were very noisy - try and get a room away from the street ! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hotel_Bijou/r428073
