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.

Great place and wonderful location
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.

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.

Perfect for what it is.
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.

Quaint Inn
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!

Very charming Inn. Cozy and comfy accommodations. Built in 1861 and retains its charm. Felt a lot like home. Breakfast was adequate and we appreciated access to the snacks and beverages 24 hrs a day. We stayed 3 days and were provided plenty of fresh towels which we needed due to hot weather and several showers. The room was cool and we couldn’t hear much noise from outside except the occasional Horse and buggy. The inn is situated between two stables, wasn’t an issue for us. Thanks Bijou Inn for the fabulous accommodation.
