Citizen M is a unique hotel property in Zurich. We enjoyed the stay although our iPad which controls everything in our room was dead on arrival, we were able to charge it on our own charging cord and get it up and running. The hotel was kind enough to comp us a breakfast for our troubles. The only down size was getting into a bed with only one size facing the room. Crawling over my spouse at 3 in the morning was not a fun experience for either of us. The staff was warm, engaging and helpful when we could not get our room’s iPad to work. We would stay here again if we had the opportunity to visit Zurich again.

This hotel was very unique in that the rooms are quite small but they make up for it with the immense public spaces for socializing, work, etc. Large lounge with bar and breakfast in the morning (other meals served as well but we only had breakfast there). Everything in the room is controlled by an IPad making it very easy to control shades, temperature, lights, etc.

Great hotel and service

It’s a great hotel. Check in was easy (and early, with no issues) and the rooms are great. Clean, well appointed. In room fridge is tiny, which is annoying (it’s fitted within a drawer) but otherwise a great room with a really good shower ‘pod’ with no pre-formed plastic! Breakfast is good, although the Swiss ‘clear your own plate’ is a bit much when you consider the $45 price tag!

We recently stayed at CitizenM Zürich and overall had a good experience, with a few important points to note. The room was very clean and refreshed daily, which we appreciated. However, the room design was not very functional — particularly the placement of the bed against the wall, which made it difficult for two people to get in and out easily. Another downside was the lack of a coffee machine in the room. This made it inconvenient in the mornings, as we had to go down to the reception area to grab coffee or water. While coffee was included with our prepaid breakfast, it was only available until 11 a.m., which limited flexibility. On a positive note, the hotel’s location is excellent — close to the main train station and within walking distance to many of Zürich’s key attractions. Overall, CitizenM Zürich offers a clean and conveniently located stay, but there are a few design and amenity improvements that could make it even better.
