I stayed at the Citizen M Capitol due to the proximity to the Museum of the Bible. It was an easy & safe walk. This Citizen M stay was my first & was very nice. Clean, comfortable, efficient, & funky! I love their business model. I will be recommending it.

We can’t say enough good things about how friendly the front desk staff and dining staff was during our entire 4 day stay..The rooms are small but very cozy and very clean..The technology is easy to grasp and the staff was there to answer any and all of our questions. If you are traveling via the metro system during your stay you will LOVE this place even more, the metro/subway is literally right around the corner..Highly recommend CitizenM to all!!
The lounge area located next to the bar. Cool area

This is a hotel that attempts to be a European hotel but fails miserably as it isn’t in Europe. The fact no basic amenities such as ice or a bottle opener in the room was frustrating. This hotel is out of touch with its geographic position and the markets they serve. Much better options nearby. I travel extensively throughout the world hands down one of the most disappointing places I’ve stayed in USA

Room was very modern everything worked from the iPad in the room. Didn't like it didn't have a dedicated light in the bathroom in the middle of the night you need to turn all the lights on. Plus numbers for the room were hard to seen with the dark hallway

I really enjoyed my stay here, especially because of the smart features of the hotel — it felt modern and convenient. The room and amenities were great and made the stay comfortable. The location was also a big plus, with very easy access to the metro station. The only downside for me was the reception. The staff didn’t feel particularly welcoming, and for a 4-star hotel, I expected a more professional and friendly attitude at check-in. Another small issue was the limited access to nearby cafés and restaurants. However, it’s worth mentioning that the hotel itself offers meals and breakfast options, and you can also add breakfast to your booking plan. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay and would consider coming back!

I loved the decor of the lobby. The staff was incredibly helpful and nice. Sara was very kind and helpful with all my questions :) my daughter who was with me said it was one of the nicest hotel rooms she’s stayed at. I don’t know who the bartender was 6/7/25 in the evening but the old fashioned he made was excellent. We loved our stay and hope to come back someday!

We had a nice stay! My first time at a Citizen M and was surprised at the smaller room (think Yotel) but I didn’t need a lot of space and the room was modern, nice clean, and quiet. The staff was really great, super accommodating and friendly
