Been a fan of this chain for over three years now, Rooms are always clean and well maintained. Staff is professional, courteous and helpful yet not intrusive, Breakfast is always carries quality and delicious foods!
Common areas are very comfortable and guests are invited to spend time here
Rooms have the quality and comfort of a hotel but the space and architecture resonates that of a hostel
This property is great value for money! Stayed in about a dozen all over the world. The standardization and the vybz and the service for the cost makes it a very repeatable offering.
Staff was super, super nice and helpful! Room was really clean and nice. Definitely smaller and made to be efficiently spaced. It’s also pretty modern and would recommend for younger couples or solo. Bathroom has not much privacy but other than that great stay especially for the price!
I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT CitizenM. Just the right size and had everything you would ever need for a 5 night’s stay. It was a one way street in the heart of Union Square. It had a “Living Room “ with floor to ceiling windows with plenty of space to relax and chill. They had chess, and a gigantic “Connect Four” game which we thoroughly enjoyed, and oh yeah, they had a bar with “Happy Hour drinks and food. There were a couple of great restaurants, right downstairs and across the street . It was also walking distance to the cable cars, Ross and other familiar stores. I’d give it 100 stars if I could.
Thoroughly modern and impeccably maintained. This is our second time at the San Fran location, and it's the only place we'll stay. Room was perfect and the climate control was outstanding--- dead quiet and you didn't know it was even running. PLUS, the room has return ventilation which keeps everything fresh! The staff, as always, was amazing! Always saying hello, whether it's the bar tenders or the cleaning staff. We've made friends with the bar tenders--- just like the first time. They're just great people! The lounge and study area are super relaxing and beautiful! Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great staff, great location, good food, fun smart controls in rooms
If you rent or have a car there is a parking garage right next to the CitizenM doors but it was $46 from 8:30pm-11:00am. Everything else was great! The bed was super comfortable and the shower was amazing. I loved the view and how the whole room was controlled by a tablet!
A well-planned hotel with convenient controls from the iPad located next to bed. Breakfast is great, but a bit expensive. Climate and lighting controls worked well. Free bottled water was nice, but a cup at the sink would be good for toothbrushing. The location is great for BART trains to SFO, Oakland, and Berkeley, as well as buses east to coast. The lounge is great for hanging out and recharging devices after checking out.
