## What is citizenM | Booking Hotel Rooms?

“What’s in it for me?” Sail through an entire stay at any citizenM hotel – from booking and arriving to check-out and final invoice – with just your phone and the citizenM app on it. Honestly, the only thing this app won’t do is polish your shoes (we’re working on it). 

Before stay: 

begin check-in – skip the hotel front desk
enjoy a free welcome drink with every app booking
keep your stay history in one place, even if booked via other channels (like booking.com)
city tips from locals

At the hotel: 

go straight to your room with completed app check-in
control your room like Bond supervillain - lights, blinds, temperature
stream your own shows and series to the room TV 
browse food and drink menus 

And after… : 

don’t stop at the front desk for check-out
download stay invoice right away
see all previous citizenM stays 
earn travel badges

We kept this short, but there’s way more. To get it all, download this app.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2025-11-20, version 2.22.4*

Login feature doesn’t work. Keep getting this real *cute* kissing emoji and sorry login cannot be processed… tried to get a rep or see if a AI could help, neither

### 1/5 — App update glitches

*2025-11-19, version 2.22.4*

I was logged out of the app and when I tried to log back in I kept getting error messages and could not get back in. Since the app is used for payments and controlling features in the room during a stay this is beyond annoying. I hope this is not a sign of what Marriott’s ownership will do to CitizenM.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-11-16, version 2.22.4*

When trying to book it sends you to Marriott. Again disappointed.

### 5/5 — DC room

*2025-10-20, version 2.22.1*

Good stay for the price

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2025-10-19, version 2.22.1*

What an app, all hotels should have to by law use this!

### 1/5 — Payment Never Works

*2025-10-07*

Before & after update, I can’t even get to the screen that allows me to select a payment option w/o the “something went wrong” message. Weeks ago, when I actually did get to payment selection screen and actually picked the payment method, same thing “Error” message, never accepted payment. Instead if you try to log in online website, password never recognized, select “change password” but email never sends. If you select 7 nights, it’ll say 7 nights on the calendar, but the price options list always says 8 nights, so you never have transparency on if you’re being charged the correct amount or extra bc of their glitch. No matter the time of the day, customer service never allows you to chat with a human, after waiting for 30 minutes it’ll add an on additional 30 minute wait for service. OH and now dead smack in the middle of my November trip, the app is now claiming they’ll likely shut down to merge with Marriott, can’t wait for the technical difficulties. OMG the hassle is too frustrating for what should be an enjoyable and relaxing trip.

### 5/5 — World class app, people, hotel

*2025-10-02, version 2.22.0*

Been loyal to citizenM for over a decade and love the people, the vibe, and the amazing app which is well built. Sad the app will be discontinued as part of the Marriot acquisition. In room control was amazing feature. The team that worked on the app should be proud of their work.

### 5/5 — Great stay

*2025-09-22, version 2.21.0*

This place never disappoints, I opted for the membership and breakfast this trip. And both were excellent!

### 5/5 — Great stay!

*2025-09-15*

We chose the CitizenM Back Bay for location and it did not disappoint! Everything we wanted to see and go to was accessible by walking, especially Fenway Park! The room was small but was all we needed for our three night stay and was on point! The bed was comfortable and the view was amazing! Would highly recommended and would stay again!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-09-14, version 2.21.0*

Hopeless, app does not work, don’t bother. keeps asking for a city of residence with no field to enter it. Overcomplicated nonsense.

We have some good news - and also some good news! Ugly bugs are gone. Some things are working better than before. Every member of our app team is present and accounted for. We hope you enjoy our app until the next release! *thumbs up*

### 2.22.2 — 2025-10-22

Better performance, stability, speed and precision? No, it's not a training goal for the world's fastest runner - it's our app after the last round of improvements and bug fixes. It was a good one. Thank you for reading.

### 2.22.1 — 2025-10-08

Bug fixes and improvements must be smart, quick, and always serve the user. App release updates should not be boring. After each app improvement session, sandwiches should be served. Thank you for coming to our Ted Talk.
