The hotel had a great vibe! However, it wasn’t the most user-friendly—checking in and finding the room was a bit complicated. There’s also no parking, and the street it’s located on is very busy, so if possible, I’d recommend avoiding driving there. There’s no designated area to pull over and drop off bags, which was a bit inconvenient. That said, staying at citizenM was still a fun and unique experience!

Arriving is a huge problem

This is a chic vibey hotel, but the biggest problem is the location in terms of accessibility. If you arriving on the T with only a backpack you will be fine. If you arriving in a car of any sort, forget it, there is no place to pull to the side of the road to get out. Nowhere. The street in front of the entrance are bike and bus-lane no-stopping locations, I kid you not. There is no close convenient parking of any sort, the staff are clueless re: helping find the best options, and one wrong turn, and you will be accidently on I-90. JFC, what were they thinking?

This place is nice but it is small. I’d def say if for people who want a modern day minimalist lifestyle. You can’t have a ton of stuff. The staff was kind and we enjoyed our stay!

It's a great place to explore the Back Bay of Boston. Lots of shops right outside the hotel. You can also access the subway as soon as you step out. Easy to walk to restaurants and coffee shops. Very pleased with the cleanliness. You can choose when the staff comes in to clean. The lobby was really nice too and I felt the prices for stuff like coffee was reasonable. There are grocery stores and a 7/11 where you can get water for cheap. All in all, great place. The rooftop was closed for the winter, but that's an added amenity for the summer. Use Spothero for parking.

Cool, trendy hotel that feels like a very new and clean space. Rooms are intentionally small but they use the space very smartly so it doesn’t feel claustrophobic. Good for a single person, business traveler or such. I would not want to share the room with someone else. Bar/canteen is also cool
