Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel was very clean & convenient. Negatives: air conditioning not great in lobby or in rooms. Also, the little in-room refrigerators don’t work well enough to be called refrigerators. Luckily, the very nice staff let me check my special refrigerator item in a walk-in near the lobby.

Funky and fun. Studio room but very efficiently arranged. Allowed us to check our luggage before check-in. Excellent pizza at canteenM. Friendly service. Clean rooms. View of the Capitol and the very tip of the Washington Monument from our hotel room.

Everything was great including the staff (very helpful). The only thing I didn’t like was the “cooler” in the room. It was useless. They should put in something that actually can keep a few small things cool.

We liked the restaurant on the ground floor, open until late, it had various dining options, a full bar, espresso and all sorts of coffee drinks. A great perk was the "hydration station", which offered free refills of either flat or carbonated water, with ice. The staff was courteous and answered all our requests. The rooftop bar and sushi place was also very nice. We had a couple of minor issues working with the iPad, which controls pretty much everything in the room, but overall we had a great experience.

I highly enjoyed my five night stay at CitizenM Hotel Washington DC Capitol. Room: Smaller in size (perfect for solo travel), but well set up (i.e storage under bed, iPad to control lights/aircon/window blinds). Location: The hotel is a short walk from L’Enfant Plaza Metro and the National Mall. The Wharf and Tidal Basin are also walkable from the hotel. The rooftop has amazing views and a sushi bar which is worth checking out.

No parking, and no loading zone, so checking in and out with luggage was absolutely awful. The staff weren’t super friendly at check in and did not help with the process. Semi- convenient location but I would not stay here again.
