    Friendly staff, check-in could have been streamlined a bit better, but overall okay. The room and lobby make up for the only small complaint. Nice ambiance and minimal, but yet effective rooms. The room is nice and dark.

    Good Value for the price, but a small room.

    • King Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The room was very small for two people. The bed was pushed up against the window with no outlets on the window side of the bed. I had to climb over my husband to get out of bed in the night. There was one small chair for sitting and little or no room to move about. For one person it would be fine, but would not recommend this room for two people.

    This hotel has a nice vibe, comfortable shared spaces. We did not eat there, but looked like there was a nice option for breakfast. Great location with easy access to Bart and light rail. Looks like it caters to 30-40 yr old crowd.

    Would love a nice outdoor space like the Chicago CitizenM has.

    Love the good atmosphere, welcoming common areas and staff at CitizenM. The rooms are very practical and welcoming. I love this chain and have stayed in several of their hotels and I never regret it.

    I liked it all! No complaints.

    The CitizenM is the best value hotel chain I've ever stayed in. The staff is always friendly, rooms are clean and modern, and the entire hotel is artsy, quaint, clean and fun. The room layout and amenities have updated technology and, simply, make sense. I'll stay at CitizenM whenever I travel to a city that has one.

    I travelled for a conference. To the Moscone Center it is less than 10 min walk. But San Francisco was not the same like it used to be few years ago. Lot's of vacant commercial spaces and so little charm like "in the old days". The stay was fantastic. For a single person travelling the room was big enough. I could have slept anyway in the big the and really comfy bed. I stayed in the 10/12th floor and it was super quiet and the night curtains made it super dim. Breakfast time is already at 6 am which for an European is nice. Quite basic American breakfast buffet but more than I needed indeed. What I liked was everything from check-in to check-out made so easy, no mess, no waiting and a nice person available to hellp me me with both. Quite young but prefessional staff. I was not scared of the surroundings although it is so sad to see the homeless and mentally sick people but they are around all around the city. SF is no any more a shopping city like it used to be. All the good stores have moved miles away. But the hotel worked for me really fine. The space would have been very limited for two people, I guess. Somebody wrote a negative comment about the elevators, but I had no issue with those.
