"We enjoyed our stay at Citizen M. The King bed was comfortable and the bathroom and AC worked great. For some reason the TV was difficult to operate and there was only one lift working in the hotel which made getting up to our room a bit slow. Overall a good stay."

Susie

The University part of town, where the apartments are, was beautiful and friendly. I preferred it to the centre of the city and would recommend staying here over the centre of town, which is easily accessible by public transport if needed.
