The inn is adorable and quaint. It’s an old Charleston single. But if you have trouble with stairs, you wouldn’t want to book the upper rooms. The staircase is narrow and steep.
Also it’s not the most quiet as it’s situated in a busy area, but no worries, just use the white noise machine they provide or bring your own personal fan like we did.
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.
We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Bijou. It was close to walkable destinations. Our bed wasn’t very comfortable but the delicious breakfast made it a great stop.
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.

Southern Charm With Great Location
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.
Charming and comfortable, except for problems with the heating unit. It cut off in the middle of the night and we couldn’t get the remote to work to get it back on.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
This is a very old building and we really loved the location. Everything we wanted to do was very walkable. The property is having some repairs done to the stairs up to the second floor which was good to see. The cleanliness of the tile and fixtures in the bath could use a bit more tlc.
Loved the big tester bed and mattress was very comfortable.
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.

Location, location, location!
Very accommodating. Old, unique home with all the best parts of downtown Charleston right outside your door.
Great place to stay for a quick weekend away, the room was adorable and the bed was very comfy! We would definitely stay again. Also very kind and friendly staff
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!
