It is a boutique hotel. The decor was very modern and tasteful, the room and overall hotel layout was efficient, so even though the rooms are small it does not feel cramped. Would stay there again and recommend to others.

I enjoyed a two night stay in a king bed room. I like the connectedness via the iPad for blinds and ambiance. The bathroom was clean and nice. The rooms cozy and well designed considering the limited square footage. I would recommend.

The CitizenM chain of hotels is a great find! The staff were so lovely at San Fran and it was impeccably clean. The rooms are on the small side and perfect for a lone traveller. I love the open areas where freelancers work and the bar is cute and inviting. I really loved it and it's proximity to shops and restaurants. I'd stay there again in a flash.

CitizenM never disappoints. The hotel itself is clean and super conveniently located in Union Square close to public transportation and plenty of food and drink options. Like every big city though, there are some rough spots if you walk a couple blocks in the wrong direction (however, I was visiting SF this trip and lived in SF for over a decade before this, and tbf the Tenderloin can be sketchy but as long as you are paying attention and don't engage with local residents you will normally be fine).
