“Citizenm London Bankside stands out with its tech-forward approach, especially the iPad-controlled rooms, though some might find the small room size reminiscent of Tokyo's efficient use of space. The hotel's communal areas foster a lively atmosphere that is great for socializing.

Acceptable stay with some issues

The location was convenient enough for getting around the city.
I experienced issues with the room's iPad. It controlled the lights, but it was unresponsive at times and I had to reset it. This was quite annoying-.
