The hotel is praised for its excellent location, with many attractions within walking distance. The staff is frequently commended for their friendliness and helpfulness. However, the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the quality of breakfast are common complaints.

The hotel is located in a great spot, very close to everything in the downtown historic area. The AC situation in the room was not the best, I understand it’s an old building but… all in all it is a good place for the price.

Excellent location! Charming old Charleston house converted to boutique hotel and it was perfect! The only complaint was hearing other guests but no one was up late or too loud. The city was also surprisingly peaceful and quiet at night. I was there for business but would stay here on a romantic or friends weekend for sure!

We loved our stay at Bijou! The room was clean and the service was amazing. Overall, the location was good. It was close to king street, market street and many good bars and restaurants. Our only problem was the inn was in between two horse tour barns so outside the inn smelled bad from the horses. However, there was no smell inside the room or the lobby. Overall amazing stay and we would come back.

The absolute best part about this hotel was the location. Everything is within walking distance but still a nice quiet location . Steps from horse carriages, the market, sightseeing , shopping and dining. The hotel had character and everything you could want. Great breakfast with homemade banana and lemon blueberry loaf as well as cereals, yogurt, croissants, coffee, tea, etc. The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed and bedding I’ve ever experienced. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommended.

Property has a very homey feel to it. This place has a very cozy feel. Parking wasn't bad. It's unfortunate that there isn't a place to park on the premises but it was manageable. The lot that is about 2 blocks away is reasonable but it is an extra cost to those who stay here. It was a very hot day checking in so the room was a tad warm. The AC works, it just tastes it a bit to get nice and cool. It is an old house so I don't believe it's insulated very well. It was a nice place to stay for a night or two.

The location of this inn was EXCELLENT! It was within 10 minutes walking distance from the areas major attractions- City Market (around the corner), Carriage Tours (next door), King Street, and Rainbow Row. Plus, tons of local restaurants. (Cru Cafe-right across the street, yummy!)The area beach (Folly Beach)was also accessible by Uber (30 minutes). The inn has a lot of charm that you would expect in Charleston but requires a little TLC. The cleanliness was okay. The bathroom could have been cleaner, but the "living area" was nice, and the bed was super comfortable. The"breakfast" was not appealing.

My wife and I stayed for a couple of nights and loved the place. Accommodations were great, the house was old with a lot of charm, and we were introduced to Penny, the owners dog who was a pleasure to meet. Would highly recommend Bijou to anyone visiting Charleston.

Has a nice, old school B&B feel. If you're looking for a nice room in a nice location, this place is great. If you're a nitpicker who needs a pool/spa/gym/lounge you likely weren't going to use but would complain about the absence of anyways, spare yourself the high blood pressure and this very nice spot any undeserved negative press.

We loved this place. Excellent staff, very clean, wonderful location. Loved the gas fireplace! Wished they had directions on how to use the 2 tv remotes. Never did figure that out. We never asked for help either, so that’s on us. The house is very old and quaint. I give it such a high review because the mattress was soooo comfy and those sheets…. I have never slept on sheets of this quality before….wow. What a lovely stay we had!

This is what I picture Charleston to be when staying in-town. BIJOU was perfectly quaint and traditional while having the appropriate modern flares. Perfectly located to City Market and the carriage tours. The courtesy room with treats and little breakfast bites was a perfect touch. I just wish they had some parking - had to use the pricey pay lot across the street - but understood the town is limited in that regard. WILL STAY AGAIN!

A clean, cozy room, with a location perfect for walking throughout the historic district. Staff was ever so helpful in answering questions before our visit. Sufficient options for a light but satisfying breakfast, perfect before a day of walking to historic homes, eateries and shops. Daily, open air parking lot just across the street, or around the block for a parking garage. We are glad we chose the Bijou.

Awesome place. The beds were REALLY comfortable. It's a boutique hotel, and it's exactly what we expected. Great location. Kind of a pain that the lot across the street is priced 7am to 7am, so you have to pay 2 days parking, but not the hotel's fault.

We stayed one night in the Cotton Room. It is very small. The bathroom is unlikely to accommodate anyone over 5'9'', 200 lbs. You can barely turn around in the shower. Loose ground coffee and no filters to make your own coffee in the room is way inconvenient. Same in the common area. It's an old property and some things have to be accepted, however still overpriced.
