Nice and clean, good locations , near by restaurants and train stations. Not for long stay, but perfect for quick trips and staying. We traveled with my son and we just used for a couple nights. Service is good, rooms are clean and price is reasonable.Comfortable bed. Good view also . I was on 10th floor with Eiffel Tower view. Actually we used the same hotel in Zurich at that trip. Still good.

Genuinely excellent little hotel. The images make the rooms look small but they're perfectly laid out and actually feel very spacious. All the right equipment, everything works, very clean, and really nice location.

Everything was as advertised and then some. The room was great, small by design but it didn't feel cramped. The room layout made it feel bigger than it was. Everything was clean, the staff were wonderful, the breakfast was all that I could ask for and then some. This is my second CitizenM visit. This one being the best to date.
