Unique and welcome change!
My stay with CitizenM was a breath of fresh air. Everything is top shelf, from the quality furnishings and amenities to the friendly staff and amazing breakfast. They single-handedly restored my faith in hotel chains!

Well-designed hotel, nice vibe, helpful staff
Small room, by design, but very well laid-out and attractive, with red accents. Eveything you need, just in a small space. Friendly staff, buzzy lobby, good coffee at breakfast, but could use some more plant-based and healthy options on the menu. Location is kind of odd (not much around at street level), but is actually close to several metro stops. Would stay again.

Great central place to stay!
I had a quick stay to do some research at the library of congress. It was a great location so close to L’enfant and staying alone I was pleased by the comfiness of the room. I had intended to leave my bags and come back later in the day to check in but they were able to check me in when I arrived (an exception I was assured but very kind none the less) all the hotel staff I interacted with was lovely. The room was fun, clean, and very cozy. Would absolutely stay again.

Lovely, cosy and superb breakfast
I really, really loved this hotel. You can say what you want about the size -- but if you know that going in, what's there to complain about?? I also think they've made excellent use of the space and didn't find it too small at all -- it's cosy, the bed is extremely comfortable and the breakfast is miles above a standard American breakfast! Big, big ups from me.

Good location, very clean and very friendly staff
Gemma, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect, but not for everyone.
This property is great, but definitely not for every traveller. It's very tech forward and caters to a very niche traveller. Great for singles and couples for a quick overnight or weekend visit to the city. Location was great with super easy access to the wharf and national mall. Spitting distance to L'Enfant Plaza making travel to and from DCA a breeze.
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were great. It's very new, so all in good condition. Small room but efficient. Great breakfast. The only thing I didn't like were the dark hallways and weird artwork.

Great hotel
We think we've found our favourite hotel company. Super modern room with great technology. Clean & warm - even during snowstorm Blair in Jan '25. We loved our stay and would 100% return here or any other CitizenM. The food in the restaurant was great also which was needed when most places were shut during the snowday. The listing advertises that their rooms are smaller than most hotels but after staying after our NYC stay, the room was a really good size and much more spacious in DC than we expected.

All good but the non-working tiny fridge
It was a busy weekend but the hotel was great. Tiny room. Too bad our mini fridge (if you could call it a fridge?) did not work, which was inconvenient

One of the coolest hotels!
Our room was incredibly beautiful, clean and innovative. I felt like a child. We wnt up to the roof top which had a great view, unfortunately we ate outside of the hotel so Im unsure if the food and drinks were good but everything seemed amazing. I would 10/10 recommend

This was our first time staying at CitizenM in Washington DC. The experience between NYC and DC locations are very similar. The design, cleanliness and amenities are almost identical. The price seemed very reasonable, we paid about $115 per night.

My favorite hotel in DC
I luv the area it's in walking distance to the monuments, the water front, and subway
