They had a guy there at the lobby that was helpful with helped with info things to do and would help with booking trips and tours but Im nearly sure he charges a "booking fee" so... more

We stayed in a bunk room for 4 nights. The room was small (as expected) but very clean, there was a small basin in the room for shaving/washing and there was always a shared bathroom available. The shared bathrooms were generally very clean, and all had very good showers. I did on one occasion see a cockroach in one of... more

Our stay was for 5 nights, and there were two of us in a bunk bed room. The first room was very tiny, hardly any walking room, a/c was broken, but they were quick to move us to another room. They were very helpful and friendly, and our new room had a bit more space, which overlooked 51st Street. Great... more

I wish I had known about this hotel the hundreds of times I'd stayed in other places in NYC. For the ridiculously short amount of time you're in your hotel in the city, paying more than $100 is just ridiculous--save that money and go DO something! The pod is super clean, super modern, and not at all tacky, which I... more

Stayed at the Pod for 3 nights while treating my partner to a weekend in NYC for his birthday. I have always considered staying here, and thanks to a $139 a night rate offered from quikbook, I took the chance. The location is great..its easy off the 6 train on East 51st and there are lots of restaurants and nightlife... more

Makes you feel like you are in a space capsule of sorts. Was good till I stayed there. Would look for other accomodations next time am in... more

We stayed 4 nights at the POD hotel, and I thought it was great. The rooms were small, but hotel rooms are only supposed to be used as a base! We had a double room with our own private bathroom. There was a lot of storage space for a small room and it was quite handy that the sink wasn't... more

1/1 found this review helpful

I feel like I had done my research before booking an overnight stay in NYC. I have stayed in really expensive chic hotels, and I have stayed in ones that weren't so great. I read a lot of reviews for the pod before making a reservation, but I was a little nervous to see what it was like in MY... more
