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!

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.

So charming, perfect location!

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 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.
