Hidden gem in DC

Super clean hotel with a nice laidback “vibe.” Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

The room was tiny, the bathroom was surrounded by frosted glass (no walls for privacy), and the blanket was barely big enough for one person. The video of the guy dancing mostly naked in the elevators is not appropriate content.

The hotel was fun, very conveniently located to the National Mall and other sites. The tech they incorporated worked well (controlling things in the room with an app or ipad). The only thing I would change is a little more privacy between the bathroom and main area in the room itself.

Great hotel

We think we've found our favourite hotel company. Super modern room with great technology. Clean & warm - even during snowstorm Blair in Jan '25. We loved our stay and would 100% return here or any other CitizenM. The food in the restaurant was great also which was needed when most places were shut during the snowday. The listing advertises that their rooms are smaller than most hotels but after staying after our NYC stay, the room was a really good size and much more spacious in DC than we expected.

Perfect, but not for everyone.

This property is great, but definitely not for every traveller. It's very tech forward and caters to a very niche traveller. Great for singles and couples for a quick overnight or weekend visit to the city. Location was great with super easy access to the wharf and national mall. Spitting distance to L'Enfant Plaza making travel to and from DCA a breeze.

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.

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.
