During my stay at Hotel Bijou, I found the rooms to lack modern comfort and experienced issues with noise from the street outside. The location is definitely central, making it easy to access popular attractions, but it's also in a somewhat rough area which made me feel uneasy. The service was disappointing as well, with slow check-in and a lack of concern from the management regarding some issues I encountered.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel; while the rooms had their charm and were somewhat clean, the overall value was compromised by some serious drawbacks. The location, while central, felt a bit overwhelming at times with the presence of many homeless individuals nearby, making me feel uncomfortable at night. The service was hit or miss, and the hotel could use some significant updates to enhance guest experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were clean and I appreciated the unique vintage feel, the location made me a bit uneasy due to the number of homeless individuals nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the lack of air conditioning and some noise from the street outside were definite downsides. Overall, it's decent for a night or two if you're looking for a budget-friendly option.

I had a wonderful time staying at this hotel. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist with any questions I had. My room was clean and equipped with everything I needed, though it was on the smaller side. The breakfast was a nice touch for just $12, even if it wasn't extravagant. While the location has its challenges with homelessness nearby, I never felt unsafe, and it was conveniently located for my plans in the city.

This hotel has a great vintage charm and is centrally located, making it easy to explore the city. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, helping make my stay more enjoyable. However, the rooms can be quite small and lack natural light, which may not be ideal for everyone. While the bar offers a nice selection, the dining experience in the restaurant was somewhat lacking.

The hotel has a charming vintage vibe and is clean, which is a plus. However, the noise from the street and the lack of air conditioning made for an uncomfortable stay. While the decor is appealing and there are some positive staff interactions, the surrounding area felt unsafe, particularly at night.

The hotel boasts a great historical charm and a wonderful location, making it easy to explore San Francisco. My room was compact yet newly refurbished and clean, and the staff was genuinely helpful during my stay. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi was frustratingly slow and barely usable, which was a significant downside for me as I needed to stay connected. Additionally, the noise from the street outside made it hard to relax at times, detracting from the overall enjoyability of my visit.

The hotel has a fantastic location right near Market Street, making it easy to explore San Francisco. The bar was a highlight, with a friendly barman and great drinks, but the dining experience fell short due to indifferent service and a cold atmosphere. While the rooms were compact yet functional, the noise from the street cleaning can be disruptive at night. Overall, it's a decent place with some quirks that may not suit everyone.
