Nice, clean, & affordable. My partner and I like doing mini staycations. We just wanted something nearby and not crazy expensive. The location is great & walking distance to restaurants, bars, and shops. The check-in process is different but was easy to follow. Their main area is a great space to hang out. When we came back from dinner, we noticed a bunch of the guests were just lounging around like they were in their own living room. The rooms are quite small. But for us, we found it comfortable. Everything is controlled thru an iPad in the room or thru their App- which didn't work for us. If you're looking for luxury, this place isn't it. This is like getting a cool little room with bells & whistles. During the week we paid under $200 for 1 night. We just booked for a wknd night and it's $228. If you want the "city views" it's more. This hotel isn't the tallest & surrounded by taller buildings. Not sure what kind of amazing city view that would be. The staff were friendly enough. and the LED lights were neat. read more

CitizenM - Room - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was happy to try a new hotel that's not downtown concentrated. The place gives a artist vibe but the small rooms, it's not for me. The beds, are firm - not my liking. I've stayed at other hotels and have been welcomed and comfortable, not here. Not doing this again. read more

If you're looking for a an affordable, modern hotel placed in a great location near everything in DTLA, I encourage you to look no further. Pros: - The check-in/check-out process is incredibly simple with a simple self-serve touchscreen interface as opposed to a long wait for front desk. - Very clean upon entry with fine soaps and towels in stock. - Everything is customizable using a tablet from the color of the room lights to the temperature and even opening and closing the blinds. - Employees were extremely kind and always willing to help. - Walking distance from the Grand Central Market and Ubers are convenient if you plan on seeing a concert near The Shrine. Cons: - Rooms can be a bit small. Perfect for individual visits or couples, but a definitely too small for families and 3 people could even be a stretch. - No microwave in room to reheat food. - No parking or valet offered at the hotel. You could park at a structure or lot nearby, but could become costly. Overall, a perfect hotel to stay at if you're looking for a small getaway or staycation. Absolutely in love with the hotel and I will be coming back next time I'm in LA! read more

Very cool! This is a hip little hotel w/ inexpensive micro-rooms. We stayed here because we needed a place to flop after seeing a show at the nearby Regency Theater. When you know you're not even going to get into your room until 1am and you're driving home the next day, this place is PERFECT. In fact, if I had a little more time, I'd like to spend a few days here so that I can explore the town a little more. Can't wait to get back here some other time. read more

Very modern decor. Each room is made from a shipping container, so they are narrow and also not very long. The right space is well designed, but still, it's tight. There is little room for one piece of luggage, much less two.... There is an iPad in the room that controls everything, TV, curtains, even the color of the room lighting. Check in is automated with multiple stations in the lobby to sign in. Staff was quite helpful and efficient. We had a problem with our reservation and the guy at the check in area fixed it with no hassles. One night was right at $285. That's probably a good deal for LA... read more

This is in DTLA so expect to have a surge of conflicting reactions when you come to this place. First of all, the hotel is located near Skid Row in a sketchy part of LA so you will see a homeless person or two, or more. Surprisingly however, when my fiancée and I took a walk our first night it was quiet and and seemingly non threatening. The location is close to Grand Central Market which is a great place to go to for a quick breakfast or brunch. There are a number of options in Grand Central Market for the hungry traveler. Another walkable spot is The Last Bookstore which is tres cool and just fabulous if you're into books and art. The hotel itself is mostly eye candy. Very bold, visual, instagrammable atmosphere. The rooms are clean but VERY SMALL. Stylish place but lacks charm or warmth. So when you go into this Instagrami worthy hotel, you will be met with tons of rhesuff th read more

I'll start with finding a place to stay in DTLA. We found two hotels. We canceled one because the reviews were downright scary and CitizenM had great reviews. Location is great and the streets are bustling throughout the day; evenings are much quieter. Staff upon check-in were super friendly and informative. The place is colorful and trendy and has a lot of seating. There is so much to see as we sat in 'living room' taking it all in. Rooms are so well appointed. Yes, they are small but they don't try to hide this fact. They're designed for fun and efficiency. The bedding was divine!!!! Loved the window day filters and black out blinds. Bring your laptop or tablet and you can cast your entertainment onto their screen. AC was easy to use with their mini iPad control center. I felt like I was in a mini rainforest in the lovely shower which had nicely scented shower gel/shampoo. They also provide a very nice hair conditioner. Water from the sink faucet is filtered and tastes so good which was nice because we didn't have to keep purchasing bottled water. There are also water refill stations in hotel too. The gym is GREAT!!!! It is also well appointed. I didn't need anything more than what it provided. Everything and everywhere was ...Clean! Clean! Clean! The breakfast is spectacular and will please the vegan to the carnivore. We had cocktails and light bar food first night and no complaints. We look forward to visiting other CitizenM hotels throughout the world. Nice job!!! read more

This was my second stay at a CitizenM my first in NYC and this time in Downtown LA. I was here for a combination work & travel trip. I love the technology CitizenM uses from booking their rooms via their app, ease of check-in - my room was ready before official check in time which was great for me to drop off my stuff, but still be able to head back and take 2 Zoom calls from my room and the Ipod in the room to control the temperature, lighting, TV, streaming no other hotel has this technology. On Friday I also had a long zoom meeting from my room and was very quiet, their breakfasts are great, a wide variety of food & loved the fresh avocado each morning. The lobby is full of activity, lots of people working, socializing, the bar area is hub of activity day & night. Their king size beds are very comfortable with duvet, lots of storage in a somewhat small space - CitizenM is great for solo traveler, couples, but also saw a family with a small child in the hotel. While in the Downtown LA area stay at CitizenM, easy access to variety of activities in town. read more

Really nice hotel in a great location in DTLA. Yes, the rooms are small - but they are extremely clean, and you're also paying less because of it. I'm 6'2" and was comfortable in the bed. There's plenty of common area to work in, and it's very comfortable. Perhaps a secret bonus to the smaller rooms is that since they are small and only fit two people, you won't have big parties in rooms next door and you'll get a good night's sleep! Staff are also great. The only small things you should keep in mind is although there is shampoo in the shower, there is no soap or body wash (so bring some), and there is no iron in the room (but there are locations you can iron). Highly recommend! read more

The hotel itself is clean and stylish on the inside and a good budget option However, the area is not safe after dark. During the day it's ok, but after 6pm there are lots (and lots) of homeless people everywhere. The rooms are efficient and fun and the staff is welcoming. However the beds are definitely on the stiff/firm side. It's not comfortable if you're a side sleeper, so just be forewarned. The staff acknowledged this as well when I brought it up. They are great btw read more

Citizen M hotel was a very trendy and cool vibe! Staff was friendly and available 24x7. It was clean and fresh! The size of the rooms are intentionally compact but you have enough space for everything you need: king size bed, nice size shower, large flat screen tv, fridge, full length mirror. The hotel was on a convenient location. Close to freeways, shopping and food options. The downside was parking is limited to street parking with a number of rules (ex:2hr parking) or expensive parking garages ($38/night). read more

Perfect place to stay. Really friendly staff, sparkling clean, comfortable beds. Just wonderful. Nice area downstairs to do work if you need to. Also good coffee! read more

Mixed feelings about this place/concept. Reminds me of a new idea for a youth hostel. If you're traveling alone and under 30, CitizenM would be stellar. Pros: clean rooms, fun art, tidy lobby, nice in room lighting, security on site 24/7. Cons: area of town is sketchy, finding parking is a task and a half, touch-less everything is a hassle, room is incredibly small (think van life), noisy even on the supposed quiet side of the building. read more

Booked a room with a view weeks in advance. We arrive and were told that all the rooms with a view are booked out, so they ended up downgrading us to a room near the bottom floor. Thankfully, we had a great view of hobos walking around across the street. The receptionist wasn't even sure that we would get refunded the difference, making it seem like it was on us that our booking wasn't honored. The receptionist gave us a very "take-it-or-leave-it" attitude and seemed more annoyed at us than we were at them. No recourse or compensation was offered for the error that occurred on the hotel's part (what a surprise). Additionally, we get to our room and there's a $40 beverage charge for no apparent reason. The room didn't even have any beverages in the fridge, nor any complimentary waters in the room, which is the bare minimum. This is the first and last time we will be staying at any CitizenM location anywhere. Would not recommend this hotel chain to anybody. read more

I like this place. The room was small but super clean and quiet. The lounge was super nice and fun. Breakfast was really good too.

The only gripe is no attached parking. There are several lots under 500 feet away but most have an out time of 6am. Obnoxious I know but this is the reality we live in. There is one covered lot that offers hassle free overnight parking. My suggestion with this lot is to lose your ticket. You'll end up paying less. Weird advice I know but trust me. Now onto the venue... Amenities are abundant. 24-hour bar. Helpful concierge. Complimentary buffet from 6am-11am. Meeting rooms galore. Lounge seating for days. The room is fully integrated through an iPad. For those not familiar, the iPad controls everything but the water. You can totally set yourself up for a peaceful stay. Highly recommended... read more

This place is cool. The bed and pillows are so comfortable, the mood light is also a great addition to set the ambiance. Self check-in and check-out is a breeze. Overall the hotel is modern and funky. Love it! 4 stars because I noticed most of the room numbers on the floor were were at were put up with a tape?? Doors were also hard to open. read more

CitizenM isn't for everyone. If you're traveling as a family, you're better off staying at a traditional hotel. But if you're a couple on a getaway or solo on a business trip, CitizenM seems to be the right type of hip hotel for you. The first time we stayed at CitizenM in Seattle, I felt in love with the concept of having a tiny space but utilizing every space possible. You get a huge window right next to the bed in every room and overall is pretty clean. I have no complain whatsoever. I love how the iPad that they provided can control every setting in the room. You even get 2 types of shade settings for the big window. The hotel smells great, the bar staff was very nice. For this location, the gym is very small. Can probably fit 5 people in there and it would be full. read more

This is an interesting place. If the rooms were normal size it would be great. The bar which shuts down early is reasonably stocked for a hotel. and the food is very good. Service is spectacular despite not taking any cash? Nice comfortable bed but it takes up more than half the room. Clever design but still too small to even get a yoga mat down without moving everything around. ok for a day or two, but not a week. read more

What a dump if you ever been to Europe that's what these rooms are like. It's owned by a European where people live in small boxes. Cheap modern and IKEA in a closet. I mean closet I can stretch my arms out and touch the walls. The toilet and the shower are like an RV practically on top of each other. The whole room is like an RV. I paid $360 bucks( with LA taxes it is over 500) it ain't worth it. Also they don't have any parking. At check-in there's a young person helping you just like when you check your bags at the airport you have to check yourself in It's a dump with a lot of modern stuff sprinkled on it. Never never stay here unless you like to see the future of socialism in the USA. They should rename the place M Comrade. The beds are rock hard, and the heat doesn't work. Welcome to the Soviet union. Whoever thought of this concept is making hand over fist as the price is of a typical hotel, but the accommodations are cheap. The people giving this place higher stars, must live in RVs and not mind being overcharged. read more

I first discovered CitizenM while booking a trip to NYC for NYE. Their Bowery location was available for a good price so I jumped on it and the stay was awesome. When I had an event to go to in the DTLA area that was ending late and saw there was a CitizenM nearby to stay, there was no second guessing. Check in/check out is a breeze. Each one should take about 5 minutes max. Concierge said a hiccup occurred when I checked in and he had to fix something. Took about 5 minutes for the resolve and I even got drink tickets for the 5 minute wait. This is a modular hotel. Every room is the same and just enough for one or two people to sleep and shower in. If you get cabin fever there's plenty of space in the lobby to relax, especially with the playlist the hotels have. With all the food available in the area you can also grab something and enjoy it in the lobby or grab something from the kitchen that's open 24 hours. I'll continue to stay at CitizenMs if I ever roam into a city with one. Great hotels! read more

My daughter lives close by, and so I was looking for a place to stay while I visited her. My needs were somewhat simple (in my opinion). I wanted a clean room, with a good shower (also clean), which was comfortable and affordable. Well, I guess those weren't exactly simple needs, but definitely the items that were most important to me. I very quickly figured out that decent hotels in downtown Los Angeles are really very expensive. I was willing to accept that fact (expensive), as long as all of the other boxes were checked. I happened upon a listing for this place. It looked pretty good in the pictures, the location was less than a mile from my daughter's apartment, and the price was far cheaper than any other "decent" place I viewed. I figured there must be a catch, so I scoured through the previous reviews. The most common points seemed to indicate that this might be my perfect place. Cleanliness seemed to be a reoccurring descriptor. FANTASTIC! some of the so-called negatives didn't factor into my decision, at least they weren't concerns for me. A few reviews mentioned the neighborhood not being the greatest. Really? You think? I mean, no offense to the locals, but this IS downtown L.A. for Pete's sake! Besides, my daughter lived here safely, without incident for 4 years (less than a mile away), so I felt safe. It's not as if I would be going on a daily hike with toddlers, or cases of jewelry, or anything like that. The other somewhat consistent "grievance" in the reviews seemed to be the size of the room. It's definitely a little smaller than most hotel rooms I've stayed at, but the most important thing to remember here is that this is easily, by far, the most efficient use of space I have ever seen in my entire life at a hotel. The creators of these rooms were most likely geniuses. I'm very serious. They were, at the very least, expert designers who took their craft very seriously. There was not a single worn out, broken, dirty, scuffed, or even blemished item in the room. It seemed to be designed for maximum comfort, maximum simplicity, and maximum use of space. Perfect, because that's all I needed! The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in, certainly at a hotel (if management could direct me to the place to purchase one, I'd be sincerely grateful)! EVERYTHING in the room is controlled by a single, very easy to use iPad (even easy for a 53 year old man). Lights, shades, TV, everything, all controlled by a very cool iPad. The room was so dark and quiet that it almost felt like I was in some sort of sensory deprivation chamber (Aaron Rodgers would have been proud). They even designed all the doors for the rooms not to be "slam-able" which was Awesome. I literally never heard a door, a person in the hall, an ambulance, a car horn, any noise from outside at all. This was DTLA, how the heck did they do that?! Also, check in, simple. Check out, simple. Parking? Well it was about a short block away and a little expensive. But jeez, big friggin deal. Certainly not unexpected in a big, major city. Bottom line... remember exactly what the important items are to YOU. Sure the rooms are smaller, but they designed them specifically that way for efficiency, and most importantly, they pass those savings directly on to you! I'm very impressed with this place. I think they did a remarkable job, and I'm very satisfied. read more

Spent a night at citizen hotel with my significant other, the decor is very appealing. Room was clean, artistic, colorful, I loved it! Everything in the room from lights, tv, the curtains, was all controlled by a tablet. I have to say, the room was a lot smaller then other hotels I've stayed at. There was no bar of soap or conditioner provided in the room. All you had was shampoo. Food prices are high for the portions given. I would not recommend buying food from the hotel. Even outside food brought back to the hotel, not a ton of space to set up and eat, very small space. . It was a unique experience. Would give "3.5 STARS" if I could. Additional information: The parking lot right across the street will not allow you to add more time to your ticket. I had to set my alarm for 6am, go down stairs and purchase a new ticket to prevent my car from being towed away. read more

One of the coolest hotels that I've stayed in thus far. Check-in was easy and the staff was friendly. The room was smaller than I anticipated, but I enjoyed the vibe (mood lights!) and the convenience of controlling all the room features from the iPad. Blackout shades were amazing in making the space pitch dark. The lounge area is vibrant with comfy chairs for working on your laptop or enjoying your meal. One downside was that food cannot be delivered to your room, you must go downstairs to the Canteen to order. Looking forward to another stay in this location when I'm in the area! read more

i had a really bad experience at this hotel I was really excited to stay there and the latino guy working reception desk was really rude to me and my sister he gave me such a hard time about my ID I couldn't find it fast enough and he wouldn't let me use the bathroom in the lobby area . I was treated like a homeless person and i prepaid for 2 weeks and spent too Much money to be treated so badly worse place to stay in Los Angeles read more

This hotel was super convenient, clean, and comfortable. I found it pretty last minute and am glad I did. The check-in process is simple and I enjoyed all of the options given so that I could tailor my stay to my desires. Hope to come back and stay here again soon. read more

CitizenM - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A tiny room. Positives: - location - clean - mini fridge - good mattress - amazing blackout curtains - minimalist modern aesthetic Negatives: - perfect room for one, two is just a bit tight - poorly thought out lighting. If you want light in the bathroom, you have to turn on lights in the entire room - electric plugs only on one side of the bed and so far away from the bed that you have to get up to reach your phone - zero privacy in the bathroom. I'm not shy, but you know... sometimes one needs a bit of sound dampening - no coffee maker in room read more

I had booked a stay at this hotel during Labor Day weekend - completely paid for (under my name). My boyfriend and I did a road trip from Northern California and about 3 hours into our drive, we realized that my boyfriend left his ID at home. We didn't think it was the end of the world, as long as I have my ID and the room is under my name, it shouldn't be an issue. Well NOPE. Front desk gave us the most difficult time. Front desk (PJ - I believe was his name) was extremely rude and wouldn't work with us. He asked my boyfriend questions like "how did you think it was okay to not have your ID" "What if you wanted to go to a bar? You can't do anything without one" which okay, fair points but who are you to ask personal questions? Our plan wasn't to go to bars. PJ spoke to us in a condescending tone and I immediately cancelled my stay and booked elsewhere in DTLA. We booked elsewhere and got checked with no problems. It seemed as if my boyfriend and I weren't good enough to stay at their hotel. Which is a shame because we both work so hard and wanted a cool stay in LA. Oh well. I'll never book again and I will be speaking to the manager. read more

This is a great, trendy little hotel that is perfect for single travelers on a short stay. The hotel room is tiiiiiiiiiny, but it has a European aesthetic that is extremely well designed and makes exceptional use of every single inch of the space. Everything is very "smart" -- from the way you check yourself in at little kiosks upon arrival to the iPads you use to control the heat, lights, etc. in your room. There's a bar/restaurant downstairs that offers a really great breakfast that I highly recommend. The hotel has a great downtown location that is within walking distance to a number of restaurants, bars, and office buildings. But it IS in downtown LA. So you're also contending with homelessness, dog poop, and other urban challenges as well. But all things considered, this is a great little space that is well worth visiting if you just need a really clean, fun, and trendy space to crash while you're in town. read more

The hotel itself is overall nice, clean, cute. Love the citizen m brand. However this part of DTLA is beyond frightening. The area is a mess, lunatics and drug addicts everywhere. Did not feel safe at all, did not venture outside much, and when I did it was horrendous. The LA government has failed the city. Additionally the bar service was good but daft. They charge upwards of $50 for a mediocre bottle of wine, there is no room service. That is a total joke and if you take yourself down to the bar after a long work day, and ask for a few items to take up to the room they will refuse, or at least the unpolished guy working the bar did. Do better at this location citizen m, or get room service. read more

The decor is a bit racy so it's definitely not for children. There is no parking here which is a big downside, but I think the low cost makes up for it. The rooms are super tiny, if you have a lot on the agenda and are only going to be in the hotel rooms for sleep then it is perfect for you. If not you might feel a little claustrophobic. I only stayed here for one night so it wasn't a big deal but I would not be able to stay for longer. They're very strict with the mask policy you will need to have it on at all times if you're in the public areas. Besides that everything seems super clean and the room is very smart tech-y. read more

Really Great customer service! The beds are super comfortable we stayed in their "comfy" room and there was not a lot of room to move around but good for a 2 night stay in Downtown.

CitizenM - Lobby - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is 100% cool. The overall art style & psy ambient music in the lounge. Rooms are like small UFO pods. Totally awesome.

I go here a lot and what happened today was a first; a highly unpleasant experience so, I was shocked to see another review by AM and others describing subpar service and hospitality upon entry, just to stir the pot. I have had no issue complying with health/safety policy .I do however have a huge problem being spoken to in a condescending way. I have a J.D. from USC (I'm a local ) and always comply with policy of proof.I have had more vaccinations and negative test than you care to count.But there were 2 individuals who had a chip on their shoulder and threatened to not serve me even after I provided proof, because they didn't like the manner in which I presented my verifications an d claimed not to be able to see them, their feelings were hurt,saying I "threw it"lol! I put it hastily on the table because they had created a toxic environment .They refused to let me finish talking,after interuppting me several times ,and they twisted the events that actually happened, so be careful, they will FABRICATE what they need to. MOST staff is great and I enjoy coming here as a regular, but if this happens again,I will take my treatment more seriously as it bordered harassment. read more

All of the employees were cool and kind and most of all willing to help. Laundo was fantastic, Drew's really cool and so was Mr. Barry, the manager was awesome--we watched him resolve a high emotional situation and it was a great thing to see. The vibe is very relaxed and chill, with high tech and a modern style. We loved the convenient check in/out process, the bar is really nice too. The gym is small but has an outdoor balcony which I enjoyed while doing my workout. The rooms are small and intimate. Towels and linen are clean, housekeeping is consistent and monitored by you through the room's ipad. The ipad will control media, temperature and the lights. Security is onsite at the entrance 24/7. Only issues are room service doesn't exist, so you can call in an order but will need to pick it up. The menu could've been a little better. Breakfast was 3.5/5 for taste, options, and value. No toiletries provided, tea or coffee which is usually standard. No hotel parking and unfortunately street parking is a mess so try to uber if possible. We stayed for 7 days, checked into another hotel and came back the next day for 4 more days to finish our holiday--we enjoyed the vibe that much! Overall one of my fav hotels so far. read more
