John

Room size was okay but bathroom was small. Water pressures was good. Location very good and close to tube, museums, river and borough market. Not exactly close to the major tourist attractions but great neighborhood. Lobby and restaurant downstairs is good.

Celia

United States of America

The bed was amazing. Room small but well designed and comfortable. I missed having a bath tub. Common areas very comfortable and inviting. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast more than adequate. Great location.

Dorota

United States of America

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, everything you need.

Lloyd

United Kingdom

We liked the cool Dutch design in the lobbies and rooms. Loved the art and books in the living room area. I didn't realize how close citizenM is to the Tate Modern. The Simply Foods Market across the street was a nice convenience.

Dennis

United States of America

Facility is pretty much exactly as described. Staff were very friendly and helpful and available whenever I needed them. Lounge area seems like a very interesting place to hang out and talk with people, but I didn't have much time to enjoy that part.

Great location Fabulous little hotel Quiet Good room features Fabulous shower

Debbie

The bed, the tech, everything in the building, it’s just perfect

Daryb

United States of America

The location was walkable to the Globe theater and the Tate Modern. The design was so hip and modern and amusing in the reception area. Hotel staff was young and helped the guests log onto the computers to check in and out and show us how to get the room key/card made. There were lounge seating areas and a bar with bar seating tables. The full British breakfast looked generous and worth the money. My friend got it and loaded up. I only got some yogurt, fruit and toast and that was 4 pounds - which seemed a good deal. The bed was really nice and we slept well. The shower was great too.

No tea or coffee making facilities in room. You can get tea/coffee 24/7 from the cafe but you have to pay for these. The "Mood Pad" control for TV, Lighting etc. is an unnecessary gimick that didn't enhance our experience at all. One side of bed is right up to the wall, so that one occupant has to climb over the other, if getting up in the night.
Huge, comfortable bed and good shower. Easy check in and out.

One of the towels wasn't exactly white. Also a bit of dust and hair on the floor.
This hotel is just great. There is something for everyone. Either for busy or more contemplative travellers, the whole concept is just well thought, with the recreation areas, with the opportunity of reading a book alone or having a conversation with work mates or unwinding after a long day. The rooms are not huge but the space is brilliantly used and the idea of a room controlled from an iPad just works (if only a bit corny, those mood lights for party).

Like many citizenM, the room is tiny.
Room equipment is controlled with a tablet and all is working fine. Bed is very comfortable and I liked the city view. Mood lighting is very nice. Movie selection is very good. In the end it is quite impressive how comfortable this tiny room is. Regarding the public spaces, they are very comfy and full of life.

had a really nice though short stay in Citizen M - Lobby area is catchy, modern, and it tempts you to stay in. Conveniently close to two tube stations, and a short walk from Tate Museum, Borough food market so lots of things to see and do walking distance of the hotel. Rooms are just the right size, very well designed and all necessary comfort. Would stay there again when traveling to London.
