Hotel Bijou offers a boutique-style experience in the heart of downtown, with a focus on cleanliness and security. The hotel features friendly staff and a well-regarded Japanese Fusion restaurant, providing a memorable dining experience. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and offer essentials, with some guests noting the absence of air conditioning but the availability of fans, which helped maintain comfort during warmer months. The hotel is located very close to public transport, making it easy to explore the city. Guests appreciate the secure entry with codes for the front door and rooms, adding peace of mind during their stay. However, the neighborhood is lively and can be noisy, especially at night, with sounds of music, honking, sirens, and street activity. Earplugs and noise machines are provided, but some guests suggest upgrading windows for better soundproofing. Parking is available nearby for an additional fee. The hotel's art deco style and attached bar and restaurant add to its charm, making it a popular choice for those seeking a unique atmosphere. Staff are generally friendly and accommodating, and many guests mention their willingness to return. Despite some noise challenges and neighborhood concerns, Hotel Bijou offers good value and a memorable stay in a vibrant city location.
Chris on reception was lovely, so helpful and informative. Told us loads to do and was a really nice guy to provide such helpful advice and stories about San Fransisco

I really like this hotel. The quality of the accommodations far exceed what the very affordable rates might suggest. Moreover, the staff and management are not only perfectly hospitable, but legitimately friendly, good people. Highly recommended.

A fantastic overall experience!!! Chris checking me in set the whole tone of my stay here. Very personable extremely kind and even gave me a complementary glass of red wine. The room was very satisfying. I slept like a baby.
