I was checked in immediately even though I arrived a bit early. The hotel and amenities were nice. I love the minimalist vibe of the room. Public transportation and walkable activities were only steps away. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Great place!

Very small room but perfect for a couple getting away for a night or two, the most comfortable hotel bed and pillows! The bar was very nice too. The location is perfect (back bay) and the city view is beautiful. Will definitely stay again.

This is a property for wanna-be hipsters. It is a Japanese efficiency style hotel that is entirely virtual/ electronic. There is ZERO service for anything except the bar. The rooms are sized for small people or singles. The space looks cool, with interesting art, which is cool if you go to hotels for the decor. There is literally no space in your room, which is fine, if you know that going into it. We did not. The entire room is 1 king bed, 1 toilet/ shower. The bed fills the room so that there is one side for 2 people to enter. If you have to use the bathroom in the night, you literally crawl over your partner. It is like glamping in a slip-in camper or on a boat. The lack of service is inconvenient. No concierge to answer questions, no one to assist with technical difficulties; just you and your credit card and colorful monkey statues. You request cleaning on an iPad the day before, which we did, but no one cleaned our room. Someone finally knocked on the door to clean the room in the evening when we were back from dinner! This evening cleaning schedule also would have been good to know in advance. We ended up never having our room cleaned; clever system to avoid cleaning. We tried to just have them take the trash but the cleaner could not understand our request and the iPad would not do it for us. Overall, a goovy looking place, but we likely won't stay again. Not for those who prefer at least the option for some personal service and space.

CitizenM might just be my favorite hotel chain! The hotel was impressively clean, and while the rooms are small, they’re absolutely perfect for solo travelers. The interior decor is stunning—modern, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. The staff was amazing, always friendly and helpful, which made my stay even more enjoyable. And let’s not forget the bar—great drinks and a fantastic vibe! Truly had an excellent time, and I can’t wait to stay here again.
