The air conditioning in my room was not working, which made the room extremely uncomfortable, especially given the current weather. I did bring this to the attention of the front desk, but unfortunately, the issue was not resolved during my stay.

Great Hotel

This hotel is really cool. You can control everything in the room with the iPad provided in the room. The rooms are small. I would compare them to a cruise ship room, but we were fine with that. The beds and pillows are really comfortable. The only thing I didn’t like was that there is no mini fridge. There is a cooler that looks like a fridge, but it isn’t. Other than that, it was awesome and I will definitely stay again!

Location is excellent; 5min to Metro, <15min from the monument, and minutes away from Smithsonian museums. The room is small (larger end of interior staterooms from cruise ships) but it's efficient, well thought out, and utilizes IoT (lighting and white noise control) to make it feel it's not so compressed. Mini fridge, safe, cabinet drawers are all there (just tucked away) and the shower, given its size was surprisingly usable. It's got a hostel "DIY" feel tho, from check in to check out, so travelers who don't like that may be turned off. But we didn't mind and thought that's what's keeping the price reasonable. We didn't utilize the hotel's $24 breakfast buffet because the coffee shop down the street seemed more reasonable.

A gem of a hotel!

I have never stayed at a Citizen M hotel before and I don’t normally write reviews …this hotel was amazing. Checking in is so efficient. Decor is stylish and fun. The rooms are small however all you need is there and the quality of the bedding and pillows is outstanding. It’s about 6 minutes walk to the museums. The food is good and they have a roof top bar which has a wonderful view of the Capital building. Highly recommend.

Impossible to get a hold of anyone at the property. Requested info about AC status given reviews of HVAC being down and wanting to cancel our stay. Now being told via WhatsApp that hotel never received our contact attempts despite email confirmations of them being sent and therefore cant refund our trip even with timestamped emails proving attempts were made.
