    Wanted more food options throughout the day. Wish the gym was a little bigger. Other than that everything was great.

    Aesthetics of the hotel. Staff is really friendly. Buffet was great. Rooftop bar and view was really good.

    Incredible view in NYC
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • King Room - Panoramic View
    • Stayed 1 night

    If you're traveling with many bags in march 2025 check the neighbourhood area: there are construction works so you might want to plan your route accordingly. It would also be lovely to have a kettle in the room.

    An absolute gem in NYC! I chose a room with a view and it was one of the best experiences in this city: sunset was incredible and in the morning you can get a bagel and a coffee from one of many cool places nearby and enjoy it as "breakfast with the view". A possibility to control everything with Ipad is a nice bonus. Also, the location is just unbeatable: there are so many good restaurants, cafes, bars around that it makes it absolutely enjoyble to stay here. A hotel is in 2-4 minutes from different subway stations making it easy to reach any station in NYC, Williamsburg is just around the corner, in case you're looking for less popular sightseeing options. There is also an abundance of streetwear shops around the corner.

    Euro/Asia style tiny nice rooms with public space, excellent if you like that (I do)
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveler
    • King Room

    The public area at this particular CitizenM doubles as a kind of WeWork place so it gets crowded with non-hotel residents that are just working. The plus side is that they happen to be interesting people.

    I have rated many CitizenM hotels before but basically if you enjoy Euro/Asia style of tiny but high tech and comfy little room with great public space then you will love it; alterantively if you expect a traditional hotel room you will be disappointed. I happen to travel all over the world so this is what I like, and would definitely stay again. If I was with a family on a sightseeing trip I would not stay here, but for work, short trips, it is a great area and a nicely run place.

    Beautiful Room in NYC
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveler
    • King Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The room was amazing but the other parts of the hotel experience weren't. I arrived late at night after a very long wait at the airport and the staff member at the desk wasn't at all friendly or welcoming. She just pointed me to a kiosk to check myself in without saying anything, and didn't offer any information about the hotel. I had to ask where the elevator was, etc, just to figure out how to finalise my check in and get to my room. I also had to flip the quilt on the bed because there was a stain on top part, so the room could have been cleaner. I'd stay again just for the ambience of the room, which was perfect for a two-night stay, but I didn't enjoy the vibe of the communal areas and reception, which felt a bit standoffish.

    I enjoyed my stay here. The room in particular was excellent: the lighting was amazing, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the amenities were all well thought-out. It's a small space, as advertised, but the arrangement of the furniture made it all very comfortable. I loved the view and the iPad which controlled the lighting, television, blinds and a bunch of other things. The shower was exceptional and the location is good; it's close to the subway and there are plenty of shops, restaurants and cute bars nearby.

    The iPad that controls the room settings can be a bit slow and buggy.

    Perfect location, small rooms that are well-planned and efficiently designed with almost everything you’d need. A kettle would be nice.

    A lot... AMAZING view from the room; simple check in & out; coolest decor throughout hotel; awesome rooftop bar with great staff; room offered everything you'd need; amazing room features; high tech; great location. They really maximized on the small space per room. Cannot wait to return!!!!

    The room is relatively small, but we made it work. If I could change anything about the room, it would be for both occupants to be able to exit the bed without climbing over one another.

    I love the funky atmosphere of this hotel. It's so much fun to walk around and look at all the unique artwork and decorations. I liked the Cloud bar and enjoyed some of the signature cocktails. Very convenient location to subway and to wonderful restaurants!

    No kettle in the room

    Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The bed was super comfortable, and we loved the custom mood lighting. Rooms were cleaned well. While the rooms are on the smaller side, the hotel makes up for it with the social spaces and the roof top bar with amazing views. The Pelaton bike in the gym was a bonus too.
