CitizenM Hotel is a short walk from London Bridge mainline or Southwark tube stations. Appearances can be deceptive as looks like an office block on the approach, however its a modern, contemporary hotel, with an attentive team, nothing is too much to ask, and pretty good value for money considering the location.

Rooms are well designed, quiet, comfy huge bed (walls are the head-boards), in a compact space with lights, TV and heating all magically controlled via an iPad. Welcome bonus to discover that everything in the mini-fridge is complimentary – now that is a rare find! Great shower, small hanging space for clothes, safe and a hairdryer.

Cool lobby area, with lots of sofas and easy chairs, guests happily chatting away, drinking, surfing the web, socialising, great for some  work or just chill-out.

Hotel is easy walking distance to the Tate and other interesting London sights. Great place to stay when visiting London.

If you like loads of space and traditional style hotel rooms with light switches and bedside tables, then this is probably not for you, however if you want to try something quirky, a bit different, futuristic even, then have some fun and give it a go.
