citizenM London Shoreditch

This latest addition to the growing CitizenM chain (there are Bankside and Shoreditch ones too) is affordable, chic and dependable, from its self-check-in to the youthful contemporary styling of its slick café-bar and reception area. Rooms are small but well-designed, with wall-to-wall windows, drench showers, free wifi and movies, and funky coloured lighting, air-con and blackout blinds all controlled from an in-room tablet.
