Clean, Modern, and Convenient: CitizenM San Franci
My wife and I are avid fans of CitizenM hotels, and our stay in their San Francisco location didn’t disappoint. If you’re the type of traveler who prefers a hotel primarily as a clean and modern base for your adventures, this is the place to be. CitizenM offers just that, and it’s perfect for those who prefer to spend their time exploring the city rather than staying indoors. The hotel’s smart design provides ample space without unnecessary frills. One standout feature is the hotel lobby, which serves as an excellent workspace and a welcoming spot to unwind. It’s a versatile space that enhances your overall experience. In terms of location, CitizenM is well-positioned for exploring the city, making it easy to access popular attractions and vibrant neighborhoods. However, it’s worth noting that the one drawback is the price. While CitizenM promises a certain concept, the cost can be on the pricier side. This might not align with the hotel’s “value” aspect, but for those who prioritize location and convenience, it might still be worth considering. In summary, if you’re a traveler who values clean, modern accommodations and plans to be out and about exploring, CitizenM in San Francisco is an excellent choice. Just be prepared for the higher price tag.

Great stay
I loved the hotel and location! Friendly staff and clean. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I loved how the security before entering the hotel and you scan your key to take you to your floor, if not the elevator did not move. Safety is important. Next time i go toSF would stay here definitely and would recommend.

Comfortable, Clean, and Chill
This is the second CitizenM I have stayed at. I found San Francisco CitizenM consistent with my stay in Brickell FL. Checkin and out is easy, everything I need, clean and comfortable. Staff are relaxed, but attentive. I like that unlike your standard hotel you don't have door men trying to take your easy roll non heavy suitcase so you are then feel obligated to tip for something you didn't want, they provide quality of only what you need. The breakfast!! I am a fairly clean eatter, and I like that CitizenM provided this option- no hidden sugars in their food e.g. they had plain yogurt opposed to vanilla yogurt, bread option without honey (Euro style). They still had pastry options for those wanting a treat. CitizenM is becoming a go to for me. Just consistently comfortable, clean, and chill vibe.

Wonderful stay!
I stayed here pre and post surgery, and I must say…I DEFINITELY a made the right choice in hotels. A friend had recommended it to me, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Friendly staff (especially Oscar!!!), accommodating and helpful. The breakfast on site was delicious. Rooms were super clean. The accessible room that I booked post surgery was just wonderful. Highly recommend!

6/10 Good

Nice but very small
First appearance was really clean but once we got into our room it was so small it was literally just enough room for one person kind of reminded me of a hostel personally I like something a little more spacious the room was very very clean there was no parking at the hotel whatsoever we had to walk four blocks to a secure parking lot because of all the break-ins. We were literally two blocks away from Zombieland where there were nothing but homeless and lots of drug users. I did like the shower pressure but the shower itself and the bathroom was so small it reminded me of a cruise ship restroom
