Hotel Bijou - Union Square

“Great proximity to sights, dodgy part of town”

It was very clean, well decorated, and the staff were lovely. The location was excellent for exploring San Francisco and its attractions, with great transport links. However, the hotel is not really in Union Square; it’s in the Tenderloin, where drug addicts and homeless people are around day and night, making it feel unsafe after dark. We were told not to venture even one street from the hotel, and it was distressing to see people living like this, shouting to themselves, hunched over, suffering from fentanyl. We saw someone who looked dead lying on the floor, and passing cars blasted music. It was not a pleasant or restful environment for a family. Despite the cleanliness and lovely staff, staying here was very stressful and quite scary, if I'm honest.

The staff were nice and helpful, but the room was musty and not clean enough.

Location: two streets from the Powel BART station and a direct route to the airport. The street can be noisy at night, and the area has many hotels.

“Best budget hotel in union Square, SF”

The place sits in a great spot and the staff were helpful, giving good value for the price, but the lighting inside the room was insufficient.

“Generally ok”

The photos made me excited to stay, but the room we got was at the back with only a brick wall view. The main light was broken, so we used the side lights instead. The tea and coffee station was handy, and the bar staff and night porter were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the view was just a brick wall, and the description of the hotel's location could have included approximate distances to major sights and whether the walk to them was uphill or downhill.
