BerlinUnited StatesLocation was great. Staff was meh. Room lacked sheets - kind of a base requirement of a hotel.
Location and cleanliness were the two positives I can give them.
Sheets are a basic expectation in a hotel room - we were not provided any for our bed and didn't realize it until it was so late and we were so tired we…
MartinUnited KingdomEnjoyed stay and location was great for us
The location was the plus for this hotel easy walk to all museums and other tourist attractions.
MonikaFranceGreat deal considering quality/location you get for that price
Helpful stuff and clean room
GleasonUnited StatesThough it was a “hip” hotel, due to the stinky bathrooms in the rooms and teeny room size we will not stay there again.
Comfy beds, great location, cool vibe and restaurant
Stinky bathrooms in the rooms like an RV camper toilet, smelled like a septic tank; tiny rooms not suitable for two people; no free coffee.
SamUnited StatesI liked the tech forward room. Controlling everything from a tablet was cool.
Room was quite small and it was strange having the shower right in the middle of the room.

Questions about citizenM Washington DC Capitol
What time is check-in and check-out at citizenM Washington DC Capitol?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does citizenM Washington DC Capitol allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is breakfast included at citizenM Washington DC Capitol?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does citizenM Washington DC Capitol have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at citizenM Washington DC Capitol?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does citizenM Washington DC Capitol have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at citizenM Washington DC Capitol?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book citizenM Washington DC Capitol?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
