Great buffet breakfast, friendly staff and user-friendly rooftop pool
Pros:

I love the buffet breakfast, the pool, the bath products and the friendliness of the staff. The location is excellent in the heart of the downtown.

Cons:

The rooms are quite tight and I think could use a little more personalization, although the concept is minimalist. The parking can be tricky, with some exorbitantly priced parking garages nearby.

Pros:

One of my favorite parts was how modern and high-tech the hotel felt. It honestly reminded me of a hotel you might find in Tokyo. The entire room could be controlled from the provided iPad, including the lights, temperature, blinds, and entertainment system. It made everything incredibly convenient and gave the hotel a futuristic feel.

The hotel was clean, efficient, and designed with technology in mind. If you enjoy modern hotels and want to stay in the heart of downtown Austin, I would definitely recommend citizenM.

Cons:

The only downside was the air conditioning. Despite adjusting the settings, the room never seemed to get very cool, and I was hot throughout the night. It wasn’t enough to ruin the stay, but it did make it difficult to sleep comfortably.

Overall great stay will definitely stay here again!
Pros:

I loved the location everything was at walking distance. Loved how we controlled everything on an iPad. Great views as well.

Cons:

The elevators were so slow all day long throughout our stay!! At check out time it was even worse! Elevators were jammed packed with people. We were on the 9th floor waited for over 10 minutes to go down, 3 different elevators all fool we didn’t fit. It was just me and my husband and we didn’t fit! We then ended up getting on the elevator going UP waited till we went up to the 17th floor then had to wait to get all the way down but stopping at each floor!

Excelente, solo unos detalles
Pros:

Me encantó la decoración, la habitación, la comida, el personal no estaba mal pero pueden mejorar sobretodo en la atención del bar. De resto todo perfecto, la piscina y la ubicación 🤩

Cons:

Que no tiene parking pero claramente lo especifica que no hay parking, y si llegas en una noche lluviosa como me tocó a mí corres el riesgo de mojarte porque el parking cercano debes de caminar por lo menos 5 min

Good overall stay with a great location, but cleaner bedding and a less dusty room would have made the experience better
Pros:

The hotel was in a great location and the overall stay was enjoyable. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was modern and comfortable, and the amenities were nice for a longer stay.

Cons:

The main issue was that the sheets in the room did not seem clean when I arrived, and the room was also noticeably dusty. Other than that, the stay was good overall.

Pros:

WOW! From check in to check out, this hotel was amazing. All staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Location was a little further away from the main buzz of the city yet still walkable distance. Yes, the rooms are small - yet for a solo traveller , everything I needed. Would certainly be a little cramped if you were sharing. Breakfast buffet was exceptional with a wide selection of healthy options.

Worst service ever
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We had paid for this hotel in advance. Upon arrival, after a long journey, we were asked to pay again by an arrogant member of staff. We showed them the proof of payment, but that wasn’t enough. We had to call Booking.com ourselves (!) and sort it out. After a 45-minute call and sky-high call charges, they told us that nobody at the hotel was answering the phone. We were left to our own devices and nobody checked up on the hotel. They only asked if we were going to pay. We’ve now paid twice, as we’d had enough of the stress and were exhausted from the journey.

A very enjoyable stay with exceptional service and cleanliness.
Pros:

The check-in was made very easy with help from Robin who also gave me local information that helped me with my overall visit.
