“A budget stay just a stone's throw from the Tower of London. CitizenM's trademark offering includes rooms with stunning city views, 24 hour food, and funky interiors that are just perfect for hanging out! A good choice for both business and leisure travellers.”

Hotel review

If you want to be in East London, close to the city and the sights, and don't want to break the bank....then look no further! This citizenM occupies a prime location, right by Tower Hill Tube station and literally a stone's throw from both the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. It boasts all the trademark citizenM features: trendy designer furniture, statement pieces of contemporary artwork alongside statement living areas, 24 hour canteenM, free wifi, free movies on demand....But as usual rooms are small, albeit with floor to ceiling windows (some with stunning views of the Shard, Tower of London and more), extra long king size beds and groovy lighting and TV (all controlled by your in-room iPad). It's a lively, fun place to stay and is perfect both for tourists and those just dropping in for a quick business meeting.

Freshly baked bread and pastries, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, yogurt, granola, fruit salad, barista coffee and much more! Do you offer other meals? And can you recommend good places to eat out locally? Besides breakfast, we also offer lunch and dinner at our canteenM. Our food and beverage concept feels like an open kitchen at home. Everything is available 24/7, so if you want you can have breakfast at midnight, or lunch in the morning. You might be jetlagged, so we wouldn’t want to tell you when you can eat what. You should be free to eat what you want, when you want. It is a casual grab and go concept, because in a big city you will probably be out for dinner with friends or with clients or colleagues. But if you do want something convenient, it is always there. Everything we have is the best of the best. Incredible coffee, flaky croissants fresh from the oven, the best cocktails, and great fresh food and snacks. Which are your most popular room types, and why? citizenM offers only one type of room: double room with a giant 2 x 2 meter bed. Our rooms are efficient and our beds are huge and really comfortable, wrapped in luxury Italian linen for our guests’ weary hearts. the power rain shower will wash away the cobwebs after even the longest long-haul flight, there’s a bottle of free water in the in-room fridge, and a tablet computer controls everything from the widescreen TV and music to the mood lighting and shades for the wall-to-wall window. The desk and designer furniture ensure our guests can work and relax in comfort and style, and no matter where they hail from, they can plug their devices directly into the wall. Wifi and a large selection of on-demand movies and music are always free. What message would you like to give Hotel Guru readers? citizenM is a new breed of hotel. Rather than create another cookie-cutter property distinguishable from the competition only by the name hanging above the door, we ignored the traditional hotel industry’s ‘givens’ and instead figured out exactly what the modern traveler wants and needs. We are not a ‘boutique hotel’ whatever that means. We do not employ hollow gimmicks in a tactless attempt to differentiate ourselves from the competition, without a clear brand DNA these ‘boutique’ type hotels are typically not scalable and have limited success as a true global brand. Our approach builds on our brand values – unique, friendly, honest, up-to-date and caring – to trim away the unnecessary excess and focus on quality. We’ve turned the traditional division of space on its head, creating efficient rooms that are luxuriously kitted out. We’ve given our Ambassadors one main task: to keep our guests happy. At the bar, we offer great drinks and food made from best-quality ingredients, available 24/7. We’ve transformed our lobby into a welcoming social heart that people use like their own home.
