Citizen M

Overall: 7/10Room: 7/10Lobby: 8/10Amenities: 8/10Location: 9/10Fun hotel with one thing to know - all the rooms are 150sqft (small). Having said that, everything is of high quality and is controlled from either your phone and/or the iPad provided in the room. It's a really cool experience for 1-2 people. Not sure how you get anyone else over two people in the room. Super worth it if you're up for something new and different.

Worst hotel ever! Tiny rooms . Complicated check in. No parking. Just a horrible concept. Like stinging an RV or really small cruise ship cabin. Like funny, horrible horror movie. What were they thinking when they came up with this concept? I

This is a fun, quirky little hotel that was very well-priced for mid-February. I was extending a work trip and I needed a centrally located spot. This place is walkable to so many restaurants and coffee shops and bars. They have a rooftop pool and it was 85 degrees when I was there on February 8th. I had no problem checking in early either. The doors are a little noisy at night but pop in some ear plugs and turn on the white noise and you'll be fine!

My kids and I enjoyed staying at CitizenM downtown ATX because the location was nice and the hotel was cool. I've never stayed in a kitchenette size room before and it was though since I am claustrophobic. But I made it work Awesome and friendly staff. That's always a plus!The only 2 negative things I have to say is as follows:No parking: there are a few around and the nearest is in the Indeed building across the street. Read the rates because I spent $48 for the first day parking.Food: We ordered a 4 cheese pizza, loaded nachos and rosemary fries.The pizza was tasty and crunchy, but very dry and they could have done a better job at slicing it.Rosemary fries were too salty and I couldn't eat it.The nachos were very yummy, yet with hardly any cheese. They served it as a burrito bowl (per pic not the typical layered nachos). No utensils and no plate. I practically had to get my hands dirty and dig in to layer a nacho chip for me and my kids the whole time. Other than that, good times.

So it took a little while for me to decide it was ok . The rooms are VERY small and everything runs off and iPad. The tablet was a little glitchy and every time you leave the room the lighting changes and the blinds go down. The staff is pretty friendly and the atmosphere in the lobby is kinda cool. Breakfast was decent . Standard hotel breakfast buffet type is things. They have a canteen that has snacks and drinks. Its little pricey,but so is everything in Austin The gym is very small. They have a cool little room to iron clothes if you need to since there is no space available in the room for it . I'd say if youre on your own it's worth a try.

Cute little rooms, fully digitized. Was able to enjoy some awesome Eastcider while there, their lobby is pretty comfortable. It's set up so that you can mingle and talk to others. It's close to the downtown nightlife.

What can I say about this place that it's website doesn't say for itself...Great if you're traveling solo or as a couple. (Or sleep in the same bed as a whole family?) only one large comfy king bed in each room.Room is cozy. Small bathroom (toilet and shower in the same wet area). Bathroom has LEDs around it that you can control the colors from using the in-room iPad or the app on your phone. (So cool) Toilet flush options are on the wall (small circle for liquid, large circle for solids). Shower has a rain shower head and hand shower in it, which is a very nice quality Hanshrohe brand.Sink, beverage (tiny drawer) fridge, hair dryer, shelving all are just outside the bathroom with a lit vanity mirror - everything in arms reach!Now, the technology. You can set the temp, mood, lighting, adjust curtains, shade and everything from the citizenM app while you're away! We went to a concert and at intermission I set the room mood and temperature, and when we arrived it was exactly perfect. The living rooms, bar/kitchen, and common areas are well decorated and furnished. It's like being at a home! The staff is super social and friendly (if you want) and very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.I would definitely get a membership if you're a traveler and visit the many cities/countries that there are citizenM hotels. The point is to have a comfy place to sleep, but be able to get OUT and enjoy the surrounding amenities around where they strategically put these hotels.Tip: your room key can go with you as a luggage tag and be used at all citizenM hotels (sustainable!)!

Citizen M is a hipster, social-styled hotel. Located in the heart of downtown Austin, it is a short walk from Sixth Street and all the other amazing locations downtown has to offer!I came here during the Solar Eclipse weekend, and the fee was much cheaper than other hotels during that period. The hotel lobby is designed for social gatherings, and there is a bar located in the center of the lobby. Great way to socialize and meet new people.The room itself is "compact-sized," but the vibes and room features are amazing. There is no hotel parking/ valet, but there is a parking structure within a short walking distance. Absolutely love this hotel and will be back!

My boyfriend and I booked this hotel for a weekend getaway in Austin. Long story short, we extended our one-day trip two times (after we had already checked out), so we were able to stay in three different rooms at Citizen M; unfortunately, each day had a few complications. The hotel itself is well-decorated and lively with a rooftop bar, gym, and a bar on the lobby floor. The rooms are basically all the same with everything controlled by a tablet. In my opinion, the rooms are the perfect size for two people for a short trip, but I can see how it might seem too small if you have a lot of luggage. Our first night was great until the elevator broke. Our room was on the 10th floor, so we decided to take the stairs. After climbing up 8 flights of stairs, we tried to enter our floor with our key but it didn't work (the workers also didn't know why our key didn't work for the stairs). One of the workers happened to be taking the stairs and let us in -- don't know what we would've done if he wasn't there. The second night was also great until we had house keeping knocking on our door in the morning (I'm assuming it didn't register on the system that we had late check out?). My boyfriend and I were both wearing headphones, so we didn't hear them knocking until they walked in. A similar thing happened on the third day, but a worker was telling us through the door that it was past our check-out time (it wasn't because we had late check-out at 2 PM). Despite some chaos, we still enjoyed our stay! A couple of workers recognized us (since we were checking in and out three times), which was nice. They definitely have some kinks to work through, but I understand since it's only been around 3 weeks since they opened!

I stayed here for two nights with my boyfriend and it was perfect. There are self check in/check out kiosks but there were always employees to help you with the process. The rooms were clean, cozy, and super cool. They are very small but that's why it's only 1-2 people per room. All of the elevators were working and super quick during my stay.I also liked that the front doors to the hotel lock after a certain time at night and require your key card to get in.No parking with the hotel but you can use the app SpotHero to book parking in a garage nearby.Book through the citizen M app to get free drinks at the bar!!!!!
