Loved my stay at citizenM in San Francisco! The room was small but super cosy – perfect for relaxing after a long day out. The bed was so comfy, I slept like a baby. The staff were all really nice and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely stay here again, no doubt.

Great spot for affordable luxury

Great spot for solo trip. Very central room is on the small side, but designed well so doesn't feel confined.

What a fun and unique hotel. Loved the cozy little rooms and their lobby was amazing (first time I’ve ever purposely hung out in a lobby). Plus “come and go” breakfast option was lovely - started the day with a latte and came back for more later. Highly recommend

Very cool hotel concept. Room is very bright and clean which I like. Lobby public area is very modern and pretty. Nice to sit there read a book and enjoy a cup of coffee. Great hotel for people who travel alone for work or young couple who enjoy technology.
