Rooftop bar was our favorite part. Kris is an excellent bartender. Staff throughout our stay was friendly and helpful. Hubs thought bed was great, I thought it was hard. Great place to stay and we were able to walk to all the sights on our wish list.

Self check in was a new experience for me but there was a staff member present to help and she was great! Rooms were smaller than I expected but were very efficient and actually worked out well. I really enjoyed my stay!

More hostel than hotel
Overpriced. Employee ms are overwhelmed by their endless responsibilities. The fridge didn't, only cold water in the sink, those beds jammed against the window are stupid. Went to the rooftop bar and ordered a dirty martini. It was teeny and was probably a Keurig cocktail mix. Ventilation was stuffy. I could go on and on.

My stay at citizenM was amazing. It is centrally located among all the main sites of Washington DC. There is no parking on-site, but there is parking very close by. I did not drive there but mainly took Ubers if I needed to get more than a few miles out. As you enter the revolving door, a friendly face will always help you if you can't manage the self-check on your own. Your key card gets you to your room via the elevator and opens your room. There are cheeky signs to make you feel more comfortable and like you are entering a chic boutique hotel. It is all the rage. I love the high-tech room with iPad control for lighting, curtain and blinds functions, and even mood and sound ambiance that made me feel at ease. The room was clean and very well put together. Breakfast may be included in your room cost, or you can add it daily to your tab or use your card as needed. I only bought it one morning, and it was pretty good, but I never understood why we had to have fake eggs with all the other wonderful options that were freshly baked and available that morning; that's always disappointing when you love everything else about a place, but the rest of the selections were delectable. The morning barista seemed overwhelmed on her own at 6:30 am, but quite a few guests were awaiting their custom coffee orders, to be fair. I did not venture to the Sushi Bar upstairs or use other amenities. I really enjoyed my two-night stay.

Love every CitizenM we’ve ever stayed in, and this was no exception. Private and public spaces are all fun, comfy, and highly functional, and the staff is great. We especially appreciated that there were always electric scooters out front and ready to go, and being around the corner from Casey’s (opposite NASA) for a great breakfast to go. Only improvement we’d recommend is in the CitizenM restaurant. Ordering food was confusing and inconvenient. Everything else about our stay was superb!

Hotel That Made Our Trip Easy
Such a beautiful room and everyone there was very nice yet professional. Didn't have a long stay and while the room was fairly pricey for me (cheap for DC close to the Wharf though!) I would absolutely stay again. Check in was assisted since this was our first stay, but check out was even easier with the app. We really just walked out- super easy.

Great hotel, stayed with 1 adult and 1 child. Room is teeny-tiny (width of king-size bed), but very clean and efficient. Got the job done for a weekend trip to DC to visit museums! Bed was very comfy. Water pressure in shower was quite low, as others have mentioned. Was worried about the small “cooling drawer” (fridge) I’d read about in other reviews, but ours was nice and cold, and worked well for a half-gallon of milk (on its side), a few yogurts, soda cans, and a couple other small containers. Check-in and check-out is done at a self-serve kiosk in the lobby, with an attendant at the desk. No coffee/tea in room, but there was hot water available in the bar/restaurant any time. Would definitely stay again!
