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.

2/10 Poor

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.

This was our first time staying at CitizenM in Washington DC. The experience between NYC and DC locations are very similar. The design, cleanliness and amenities are almost identical. The price seemed very reasonable, we paid about $115 per night.

Not a typical hotel, fun, artful and well designed
We had a wonderful time. My wife had visited DC for business and stayed at the hotel two prior visits and raved about the unique and artful property. It was my first visit and couldn't agree more. It was as advertised. We really appreciated the thoughtful design and branding across the entire hotel, especially the fun immersive details in the compact room, the bed and bedding was incredibly comfortable, and made it a fun experience. We loved the convenient location to the Mall, Capitol Hill and the Warf as well. Will be back in the future.
