Spent 4 nights in London Bankside. Very cool looking hotel, lobby and seating areas were terrific and the place was well located just near Tate Modern and walking distance to Borough Market. I loved the large bed, comfortable. Could use an extra pillow or 2. One aspect that could use a rework is that the "edgy" bathrooms come off as tired now. Or maybe I don't like a plastic bubble. Felt odd to have sink outside of door shut toilet & shower enclosure.

I'm a lover of tech gadgets, but not at the sacrifice of room size and lack of room facilities. The rooms are tiny, being just over a bed width. The bathroom is a combined toilet and shower cubicle. The sink is in the main room and translucent curtains offer no privacy. There's no iron or ironing board in the room, and no tea and coffee making facilities. This hotel chain has sacrificed functionality for tech, with everything being controlled by an in-room iPad. Whilst you can request your room to be cleaned as often as you like, by default it's only done every 3 days. 24-hour bar is good, breakfast looked OK and overall ambience of public areas was good. Some folks may like the quirkiness of this brand, but for me, it's expensive for what you get.

Unfortunately the beds in this CitizenM were not up to par. This is unfortunate because the big comfy beds are the reason I choose to stay with CitizenM when I travel. Location is great and we enjoyed our stay despite this. But overall it hurts the value when a room built on having an oversized comfortable bed just doesn’t….

This CitizenM is close to the city but also close to Southwark station on the underground enabling speedy access to the west end (jubilee line). It was also quite busy during the morning exuding a lively atmosphere.

Unlike any hotel I've been to before -- in a good way. The lounge downstairs is incredibly trendy and relaxed with comfy chairs, ornaments and books everywhere. Rooms tend toward a Japanese compactness, but are so well designed (and iPad controllable) that it feels kind of fun. The friendly, attentive staff are indicative of the chain's Dutch ownership. Look out for room deals which provide 33% off the normal price.

This was my first Citizen M visit and I'll sure be back. I am a solo traveler, so the room may be tight for those with a partner, but it faired me quite well. A midwesterner at heart, I appreciate the openness to their hospitality, and with an NYC footing now, I know how to move with momentum. Citizen M is sure to check all the boxes, from the friendly staff and prompt attention, to the chic room with everything at your fingertips (quite literally).

I found this hotel because it was the cheapest on the market, but it surprised me. Central location and close to transport, supermarkets, restaurants and points of interest. The real highlight is the room: you can choose your floor and the view, plus it's all smart. The design is comfortable and modern, it makes you feel at home. I had a view of the city and could fall asleep watching the lights of the skyscrapers and a movie on netflix. I don't usually write reviews, but this hotel deserves it. The lounge is modern and creative, a place designed for socialising and smart working. Super nice and friendly staff, the guys at the bar were kind enough to look up a cocktail recipe to make it for me. Absolutely recommended, I will definitely stay there again!

If you acknowledge since the beginning that you've booked a low-cost chain with a nice decor you will be fine, no deception. Just be aware that: - the room is arranged only every three days, or you have to request this specifically through the ipad and nobody tells you so - that you have to do your check-in and check-out, like a self-service in the supermarket. - the room is very small, the bed is stuck between three walls. - The bathroom setup is weird the shower is inside the WC only a curtain separates them - the sink is outside. Positive thing is that everything was very clean, because it is so aseptic that is very quickly arranged. All this at 25£/night with no breakfast.

Response from Martina Giuliano, Other at CitizenM London Bankside

Hello Blach84, We are not a traditional hotel and as such yes, we do things differently. As an ''Affordable Luxury'' hotel chain, we have different rooms and concept. The fact that we have kiosks to self check in and check out, smaller rooms and a scheduled cleaning service reflects what is for us the modern way of travelling, putting value on saving time in traditional procedures such as at the desk check in and check out and offering high-tech rooms. The rooms smaller since we thought of our living rooms as an extension of the room, offering inspiring design and comfortable furniture to relax, maybe with a cup of barista made cappuccino. I am happy to hear you empathize the excellent cleaning service, I will compliment our house keeping team. We understand we are different and not everyone's cup of tea however we are happy you stayed with us! Thank you for giving citizenM a try and safe travels, citizenMartina

Check in was all via a screen and could have been self service although an ambassador helped. There was only one lift working which was not fixed by the 2nd day. Room was very modern with lighting which can be change colours in the room as well as control lights and blinds. Connect to the WiFi and stream content from your device to the TV

Room was underwhelming - too much having to do everything on Ipad. Air Con not fit for purpose - room too warm - bad sleep. Breakfast poor - key components not available with no sign of being made available.

Hello Scott, Thanks for staying with us and for leaving review. I understand your point, we are a non traditional hotel, our rooms are smaller and controlled by the I-pad. We designed our hotels rooms around modern travelers that like a King size bed, rain shower and high tech control however, we also provide switchers and remote control for who's not a fan of it. We provide large and funky living rooms that work as an extension of the room as we like to create an homie atmosphere where our guests can work and relax. Since November we have added some items to our breakfast buffet to be able to satisfy different tastes and preferences, we now offer full English breakfast and continental breakfast with unlimited hot drinks all day long. We advert the possibility to request vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options too. I would be curious to know what you would suggest adding and I would be happy to consider it, please feel free to drop us a line and we will look into it. In the meantime, thank you so much for staying with us. Safe travels, citizenMartina
