While everything was fairly new and clean, the room was much smaller than we could have ever imagined. Had no idea what to expect. Everyone was very friendly and close enough to everything that we were able to walk everywhere.

Horrible

We got here and it was more of a hostel experience rather than hotel which is expressed on the site. Once we got into our room our towels were dirty and full of makeup. We opened our curtains to watch the river, left to go to dinner and our curtains were moved. Both front and curtain, have 15 min of talking to front desk about this and being gas lit. Would not recommend.

Unexpected Surprise

First time at this location. Everything is very typical, thoughtful Citizen M. The modernization, the great furniture, the good breakfast, etc. BUT the swan song of this hotel is the gym. Best hotel gym I've been to in a long time, and it was an unexpected surprise.
