CitizenM was a great hotel. Rooms are small but perfect for 2 people. We loved how you can control everything from an Ipad. Its very close to the L'Enfant metro. Close to the the National Air and Space Museum.and 0.9 miles to the Washington Monument. Food options are scarce for the area but the hotel has a restaurant and door dash is available. We felt very safe in the area. The staff was excellent. Very helpful. Definitely recommend and will stay at other CitizenM hotels given the opportunity.

Disliked: Staff & service

Overpriced, poor service, tiny rooms

They gouge you on price when there is a special event in town. Decor is low-class tacky, based on "little boy humor" such as the bookend in the TV lounge of dogs mating. The "do not disturb" card says "don't come in, there's someone naked in here". Room is tiny, almost claustrophobic, too small for more than 1 person. Bar forgot our pizza order our first night there, forgot our drink order a couple of days later. Refused to put the TV set on the channel that EVERY PERSON IN THE LOUNGE WANTED TO SEE because of some manager's "policy" - we asked multiple times, multiple employees, and all said the manager's "policy" forbade showing that channel. The only benefit is that it's walking distance to landmarks (Washington Monument, Capitol, museums). Terrible all-around experience, will never stay there again.

Smallest hotel rooms ever!

These hotel room are the tiniest rooms ever! The room was smaller than my closet at home. The size was so inadequate for a 6'6" man as the bed was too small for him to even stretch out.

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.

I will definitely be going there again!! The hotel design is unique, the staff members are very helpful. The rooms are very clean but not too big, enough for one or 2 people. It’s great if traveling for work, just want to have a getaway alone and rewind or enjoy a couple staycation for an occasion. The food in the sushi bar upstairs is delicious!!

The room is extremely small. If theres more than 1 person, you will have to climb over eachother to get out of bed. We never had heat the entire 4 day stay, we reported the issue immediately after arriving and the problem was never fixed. Our room was cold the entire time. We ended up cutting our trip short just to get out of that place.

We had no working heater in our room. They eventually brought up a portable heater that wouldn’t even stand up and we had to lean it against the wall.
