Stayed at this property as a single business traveler and had a very good experience with check-in, very well designed and appointed art-boutique hotel, rooftop access overlooking the city, modernly designed rooms, easily walk to BART train station as well as other areas. Would stay again.

A great option for a business trip! The amenities were excellent, and the space was clean and well-maintained. While the room was a bit tight (typical for the city), it was perfect for a solo traveler. The surrounding area felt slightly sketchy, but the hotel had good security in place, which provided peace of mind. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay!

We loved staying at the citizenM. We are here on vacation but had to work for a few hours every morning and the Wi-Fi in the lobby was reliable and fast. Breakfast was also awesome! Better than the breakfast we had when we went to a restaurant. All the staff were welcoming, so helpful, and did a great job at making us smile. Rooms are perfect, are on the smaller side but have black out blinds, great lighting, and lots of plugs for charging. We hope to return!

Gem of a Bourique Hotel Brand

We did not know about this brand. But this was such a gem of a boutique hotel—our room was small but AWESOME in every way; from bed to shower to connectivity—that we became members and will stay here again (in April) and in any other city we can find one!

Great stay at the citizenM! A darling little jewel box steps away from shops and restaurants and easy walk to Moscone conference center and other conference hotels. Staff was especially friendly and helpful -- kudos! The comfortably appointed lounge space is a nice alternative to the room -- which, though small, is thoughtfully designed. The one thing that I would draw to the management's attention: the bath towels. The word that comes to mind is "crispy" -- they were rather thin and rough (particularly by comparison with very comfy and soft bed linens). I might not even have mentioned it except that there's a large mirror in the lobby area that promises fluffy towels! I'll be back, though.

Good value option in San Francisco

The room itself is extremely small with very little room to place luggage, but suited our needs for a short stop in San Francisco. The location is reasonable and it was one of the better value hotels in a very expensive city.

Really nice hotel. The room is small but well designed. Blackout blinds were awesome for sleeping in. The area is convenient and maybe the best in downtown.

Wonderful Stay! Rating: 5/5 We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Our room was unique and stylish, adding to the hotel's charm. The location, although initially a concern (with what we heard about the homelessness), proved to be perfectly fine. We felt safe and aware of our surroundings at all times. Plus, being within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and great food spots was a definite bonus! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Highly recommended!
