The pod was neat and tidy, the rooms were small but practical. The location was great, subway up the road and a long but nice walk to central park. We had the bunk beds which was great for two single travellers as you could watch your own TV without disturbing the other. The shared bathrooms were very neat and tidy.... more

The hotel was really well located and very clean but if sharing with a friend for more than a night or two it is too small. It can be very claustrophobic and noisy. more

I stayed with a friend in a bunk room for two weeks. While small, the room was always cleaned and tidied each day. The shared bathrooms were also always clean. All staff were friendly and helpful. It's in a great location close to the subway and very reasonably priced. I will be recommending the Pod to anyone I know travelling... more

Visited NYC this past weekend to attend the Village Halloween Parade & NYC Marathon. The POD was a very unique and interesting experience. Different than most U S Hotels. It's very inexpensive compared to other hotels, bare bones, comfortable, extremely clean: rooms and shared bathrooms, employees were both friendly and helpful. Good location in Midtown with easy access anywhere in... more

Arrived on an early flight but my room was ready which was great. Very small but functional single room - bathroom was right next door. There were four on the floor and I never waited once. The lights in the room indicate which is available anyway, so no lining up outside in your PJs! Some bathrooms were bigger than others,... more

I booked a room with my own bathroom. It was small, but clean and the space was well thought out. I had a decent view from my room and I liked that the window opened. The rooftop was very cool, so make sure you check it out.. I would stay here again! My only complaint was the bed and pillows... more

We were staying at The pod in october 2009 for 10 days. Check in was peformed in 2 minutes, the room was ready and we've got all the info we needed at that time. Room (double pod) is small but it's structured in a smart way. You'll probably have some problems with the luggage and stuff you'll buy there, but... more

On arrival at The Pod I was greeted with rude and obnoxious staff. At no point did I feel welcome or comfortable. Check in staff told me I hadn't made a reservation, which I had done one week prior. Fifteen minutes later they discovered I had booked but no apology was made. Due to the uncomfortable atmosphere I decided to... more

Hi, I travel allot as part of my business, and I got stuck without a hotel in new york, and booked online (easyclicktravel). The hotel was very very simple, but the location was AMAZING, and the rooms were really comfy. Staff also good, they helped me get around. I would say I recommend. more
