I stayed at this hotel for 8 days last week. I was travelling alone on holiday and was looking for something very basic, but clean and which would give me the peace & privacy I wouldn't get at a hostel. I chose a single room with shared bathroom. The room is small, but I knew this beforehand and I chose... More

I was in New York for four days in March 2011. As I was traveling alone I looked for a hotel with an urban feel to it. The Pod seemed perfect, and the price was also very good. The staff was lovely from start to finish. My room was about as big as shoe box, but I was prepared for... More

We booked a queen with ensuite and a bunk room. The checkin was friendly and the staff all very helpful. Rooms were modern and warm. I rate a hotel room by its bed and especially its pillows. Both comfortable. The downside? The guest next door spent the night on some other time zone and must have got in and out... More

The very clean, stylish and modern Pod Hotel in Manhattan is an excellent value for all who do not mind sharing washrooms . The rooms are small, but as cleverly designed as a cabin on a luxury ocean liner from the 1930s. The staff were extremely helpful, especially Antonella, who was always smiling and sincere with her excellent advice. The... More

Someone else wrote that this place was like a hostel, and they are correct. However, this place is very clean and the space is cleverly used in rooms (private bath is cute, tucked away), but, it's tiny and just not very comfy overall to stay in, even if you are out in the city for most of the day. The... More

I tried the Pod on a business trip to NYC this week to see if the amazing price was worth the room size. It was! I have been going to NYC on biz for many years and tried this as an alternative to the usuals of the Waldorf, Intercontinental or Marriott Marquis. Let your friends and associates rib you about...

I think that this is a good deal for the price and the location. The rooms were pretty clean and modern. They are very small but I think that's true for all hotels in NYC. Location is great and very convenient to everything in Midtown. My main complaint is that the walls of the rooms are thin. The seal on... More

The room is great, the bathroom is great, best really for only one person though. Since there are no coffee pots in the rooms, they sell coffee in the lobby, but it's like drinking gasoline and the pastries are several days old. So I suggest walking to the corner Pax, they have great coffee and food. The staff is typical... More
