Hotel Bijou

what a loud and obnoxious neighborhood

The desk staff was helpful, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. The complimentary glass of wine at check in was a good touch.

The area that the hotel is located in is the home of the worst collection of LOUD, ANGRY, AGRESSIVE-PANHANDLING, CRACK ADDICTS that the city of San Francisco has to offer. The entire night there was a barrage of shouting, screaming, shreiking, fighting and all manner of rabble seemingly magnified by the echo created by the tall buildings that are all around. A double insulated vaccuum sealed window would have solved the issue. As it was woken up @ 3am by a screaming woman who was appearantly asking for the money someone had taken from her. I dont know if she ever got her money back but, if i knew then what I do now I would have asked for a non-street facing room.

my stay i the TL

the room was clean and i was on the 6th floor so noise wasnt an issue

room heater was broken and all i got was some extra blankets as they had no spare space heater or anything.

convenience to conference site

one of the rather morose receptionists at the desk

Location was very convenient to BART and Union Square. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were small and minimally furnished but functional and clean.

I didn't find noise to be a big problem, but there were occasional loud sirens and loud bar patrons downstairs. As long as you're not trying to sleep before 10/11pm or after 9/10am, you should be fine. This is not a fancy place, but quite adequate for a couple nights in the heart of the city on a budget.

The location is great and the staff is very friendly. The price is very good too.

It 's quite noisy at night. However, the hotel offers earplugs and with earplugs it 's not such a big issue.

I don't feel the area it's SAFE!!!!
