Really poor overall experience.

Horrendous stay - received a voicemail mid-stay to say we had to move out the hotel as they were closing with immediate effect (mid afternoon during the 2nd day of a 3 night stay). Knowhere near a 5* hotel though prior to this. Bottle of Vodka within the mini bar in our room had been opened and half drunk. Lipstick all over one of the glasses within the room. Flawed layout in the floor meant the shower door was always leaking on the floor (in the hall of the room).

CitizenM Quality at Citizen Kane Prices

Firstly, if you can get a room for under £100/night - fine. New. Decent food and staff are clearly enjoying themselves. However, I hate everything else about this hotel. From the walking cliche, tartan trousered trainees that greet you, to the terrible tech in the closets that pass as rooms upstairs. This hotel was designed by a challenged child that was asked to draw Scotland from cartoon. I paid ~£180 for the pleasure of a river view double room. Compact and bijou would be the kindest thing I could say. The room was about the size of the bed with a just enough room to swing a pigmy mouse. It was also very smug, filled with overpriced snacks and beverages in case hipsters wish to burn more excess cash (including a miniature of Buckfast). All the in-room controls are modern but cheap, with clunky tech that will age about as well as the decor. Finding a light switch in the middle of the night was just plain annoying. I had half a window on the inner corner of the building, with a slither of the river visible. This remained visible at 8am as the curtain didn't close properly, waking me up for what was actually a decent breakfast, served in a smart mezzanine level which also provides a decent location to get some work done outside of breakfast hours. However the mezzanine toilets are a hall of mirrors, reminiscent of the ending to Enter the Dragon. Avoid them unless you're Bruce Lee or like cheap carnival tricks. This hotel is trying hard but won't age well.

Staff very friendly and accommodating Stayed on 4th floor and only one out of two elevators working so a lot of people using stairs. Area is up and coming but looked to a have a cluster of drug deals going on at the entrance to the bridge early evening. Perfect location for shopping. Reception arranged table reservation and taxi to a local restaurant.

First impression was trying to enter with our bags. The entrance is on a busy road with only a pull off across the street. So you either have to convince your taxi to stop in the middle of the busy road, or cross the road with all your luggage or walk however far from a parking lot with your luggage. Then as soon as you walk in there’s many employees to say hello; in my case I was struggling with my husbands and my own luggage bc he had to move the car off the street. Not one of the 3 employees standing out front offered to help. Then the rooms are ok. All night there was a lot of noise from the next room. Next morning we go to wait in the lobby and every single table was filthy, like the night crew forgot to clean the tables after the bar was open.
