We just needed a place to stay for the night, and this was a great choice. Rooms are compact, as we expected, but clean and have everything needed. We made a reservation for Sushi by Bao, which is in the hotel, so we had a fun dinner experience with great cocktails and a rooftop view after our day of walking around and visiting a nearby museum. We actually ventured to The Wharf the following day for brunch, which was an easy walk from the hotel.

Incredible design and staff…

Had a wonderful stay at CitizenM. Everyone is super friendly and I love the design of the hotel and the rooms. This location is very convenient to the metro station (L’Enfant) and I bought a pass online and took metro from Dulles and the train everywhere during my stay. It’s about ten minute walk to a beautiful new waterfront with tons of restaurants and great views.

Worst experience at a hotel ever.

The room was smaller than expected. They give you an iPad to control the room temperature, but it doesn't do anything. I called to get it fixed and they said they had my room pulled up and they brought the temp down for me and to call back in 15 minutes if it doesn't cool down. 15 minutes went by and no change. I went to the lobby to let them know it still wasn't working. The front desk attendant was on the phone with someone else going over the same script, but they weren't anywhere near a screen when they said they had their room pulled up and turned the temp down for them. I was appalled. They eventually gave me a fan to stay cool. I woke up to a puddle of water on the floor from the a/c. Upon reviewing past reviews on the web, apparently this is not the first time this happened. Just the worst experience. A sweltering hot tiny room. Oh not to mention the bed is in a corner and you have to climb over your partner to get out.

We were staying as part of our honeymoon. Had excellent experiences with Citizen M in the past. The staff were friendly and helpful. Was advised not long after checking into our room by a service engineer that our A/c had been leaking and was quickly fixed. However the room never really cooled down from then. Other than this issue the lobby and food were fantastic. Also the checkout was seamless.

Stay in June

The air conditioning was out upon our arrival and we were not informed. The next day after heading out for the morning, there was water on the countertop and floor. When we called the desk we were told that was good it meant the air was going to start working and that they would send someone to mop up. While someone did come to mop up the drip from the exchange continued for the next 2.5 days we were there. The air never worked well the entire time we were there. The layout of the room while small was good for me and my spouse. Anyone else and it might have been awkward.

Great locat

The hotel is in a great location- near a metro stop and the Smithsonian museums. The room was comfortable, aside from the fact that the air conditioning wasn’t working during a heat wave. Staff were friendly and helpful.
