A nice stay!
A standard CitizenM stay - the most comfortable bed in any hotel in a small but functional room. This one is no different. The bar staff in particular were really friendly and attentive. Only thing to note for tourists, this is not far from the National Mall but it’s on the wrong side of it in terms of attractions or even things like a convenience store. Area is quite empty.

Cool, Clean, Comfy and Modern
My stay at citizenM was perfect! I was in town for a concert at The Anthem and just needed an affordable, comfortable, clean and convenient place to stay the night. The check-in/out process was super easy as they primarily use kiosks. The room was renovated, modern, comfortable and full of useful tech. Some of the tech (automated shades, lights, TV control, custom ambient lighting, etc) was a little overwhelming when late at night/impaired... but ultimately it was a very cool touch that I barely got the opportunity to fully explore.

Hi tech place
Nice hotel and location. Only issue was all the technology in the room: iPad controls for TV, lights, blinds. At one point a room switches were not turning on lights and blinds were going up automatically. They had to ‘re-boot” the room

I had a wonderful stay at the CitizenM Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. The room was spotless, comfortable, and had all the amenities I could ask for. The hotel’s location was convenient, with easy access to the city sites seeing. Overall, a great experience—I would definitely stay here again!

Would definitely book again.
CitizenM was a hidden surprise. I had never heard of them but booked because they had a high rating and reasonable cost. The bed was the most comfortable ever. Spent a lot of time relaxing in the lobby with snacks and drinks. All staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We were in a great location in DC within walking distance of several museums and monuments.

Excellent downtown hotel
Really excellent hotel. Warm staff, clean comfy rooms with nothing you don’t need and no grungy carpet, convenient to walk everywhere. It is becoming more expensive but still worth it.

Smithsonian Closeness is Main Attraction
This hotel has lots of features squeezed into minimal space: small refrigerated pull out drawer; a safe and a clothes drawer, both located under the king size bed); several hangers; blackout and day curtains. The bathroom, which holds the shower stall and toilet, has liquid bath soap, shampoo and conditioner. The sink and mirror are outside in the room. There is an iPad to control the TV and other things such as lights and curtains. An additional charge of $20 daily for breakfast in modern, trendy decorated lobby and other meals are available, and there is free wifi throughout the building. A Metro station is nearby, and a Catholic church. Numerous federal offices surround the area, but at night and on weekends there is not much going on. Smithsonian museums are within walking distance but for other types of outside activities you have to go elsewhere. You can have the hotel front desk staff (very friendly) hold your bags after checkout without problem.

Tiny Rooms
I didn't know what to expect when I walked in because you check yourself in AND create your own key card. I was initially "thrown off", but after a little while, I got it. The entire hotel was nearly self serve. The rooms were the tiniest rooms ever, but functional. The bathrooms were kind of weird, but again, functional. It did not take up a lot of space at all. After the initial shock, I appreciated the limited space. The sushi bar was AMAZING! I will certainly go back for that. The decor was "funky". The use of technology was very cool especially with ipads controlling the lights, tv, and room temperature. It was centrally located to where I needed to be and about 1/2 a mile from the Wharf. I will stay there again when in the area.

An incredible place that needs more staff
We had an incredible time at this CitizenM hotel. The room had all the necessary amenities, the hotel was beautifully kept and very clean, and there were a ton of spaces to work from. Ultimately, the hotel needs more staff; they were doing the best they could but they were running from place to place to keep up with customer demand.
