It was a very cool, clean, easy place to stay. The rooms are small but well-managed. We were able to be there for a week for two of us and had everything we needed.

The room was small and cramped, nothing worked because the Ipad controlled all functions. I had to crawl over my wife to get in and out of bed. It was too much money to pay for the room with no amenities.

Amazing hotel and it felt very European. The views were amazing as well as the lobby and staff. I highly recommend this hotel and it’s within walking distance to most places although the entrance to the T was closed when I was there but amazing nonetheless!

I really enjoyed staying at citizenM. Staff were very pleasant, and surroundings very clean. My only concern was the lights of the room being controlled by the ipad!

A night at the CitizenM
The check in process is completely self service but there is one or two check in staff to assist. The guest will also self program their room keys. The rooms at the CitizenM are long and narrow. Actually, the rooms are exactly the width of the bed from head to toe. There are no tables and only one chair under a low shallow shelf on the wall. There’s no bench to put a suitcase on so two people wanting to change clothes will have to do it one at a time. The bathroom/shower is literally a glass booth about six feet long and three feet deep. Everything in the room, blinds, lights, tv are controlled with a tablet in the room which can be very intimidating to those who rarely use technology. I don’t recall seeing any of this disclosed in the hotels.com listing. This was an eye opening experience

Tiny hotel room with great location in Back Bay
Con: Room is tiny. Bed is against the wall, so anyone taller than 6’3” wouldn’t be able to fit. Bathroom is a shower with the door open in front of the toilet. Tight space. Sink is outside the bathroom in the walkway. Pro: The location of the hotel is great. Access to subway across the street and plenty of restaurants around.
