The staff at this hotel was lovely and welcoming. The room was clean and of good size for two people for a few nights. The hotel is a 10 min walk from Union Square, 3 min walk from transport. The only negative was having the sink in the bedroom.

It was my first time visiting San Francisco, and staying at citizenM turned out to be the best choice I could’ve made. The location is excellent — just steps from the subway (perfect for getting straight from the airport), one block from Trader Joe’s, and right by the first stop of the iconic cable car. The room itself was small but cozy, spotless, and designed with comfort in mind. The bed was very comfortable, and the blackout curtains made a huge difference for a good night’s sleep. Staff were friendly, and the coffee was strong, just what I needed before heading out. Overall, this is a fantastic hotel if you plan on exploring the city all day and want a comfortable place to recharge at night.

The property and the limited food options on the menu are average, but the staff is amazing and makes up for every downside. I loved my stay and would go back many times because the people there made me feel at home.
