Great place!
We really enjoyed staying at CitizenM. The high tech was cool, and we were able to check in 1 hour early. Loved it! There were some smokers in our hallway, however, when the cleaners came in, the smell was gone.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I really liked the location of the hotel. It’s very close to nearly all the major museums and monuments, and it’s also within walking distance to the Wharf for good dining and shopping options. I also appreciated the use of technology in and the layout of the room. It utilized the space well, and while small, it never felt cramped. However, I question whether the room had truly been cleaned. Underneath the mattress there were cards, dirt, and worst of all what appeared to be a used condom. There were also hairs on the sheets that were not mine, and the bathroom had a strange, musty odor emanating throughout. Overall, I would love to recommend this hotel, but I simply cannot due to the cleanliness issues.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This hotel openly states that it targets a younger, hipper crowd, and they don't mean "young at heart." I am not a younger person. I felt some condescension from the staff because of this. I contacted hotel management about the situation, but received no response. If you are young and hip, this is a great place for you.

Ok for 1 or 2 nights
The hotel appears modern, but the rooms are small 'cabin-like' and only really suitable for 1 or 2 nights. There isn't much privacy from the shower/bathroom, and you have to climb over the bed to get to the window. But it did the job for our 2 nights in Washington where we were out for most of the day anyway. We couldn't seem to get the AC working for a bit of heat. The staff were helpful on check-in and it all went smoothly.

Caveat Emptor for sure!
You should be aware that rooms are 7’ x 20’. It is VERY small, which is not clearly stated in room description. Also, there are very few dining options within walking distance. It is very clean and eco-friendly. The smallest, most inconvenient room we have ever had during our extensive travel. King rooms are not big enough for two people, for sure. Security was good.
