    Pod 51's location is unbeatable, with top attractions within walking distance. The modern decor and flat-screen TV in the rooms provide a comfortable stay. The ensuite sink, complimentary toiletries, and hairdryer ensure convenience.

    the cancellation policy was stringent, making it difficult to change plans.

    The daily guided tours around the city were an unexpected delight. Walking through the bustling streets of Manhattan with a knowledgeable guide felt like being part of a well-scripted movie, but with the added thrill of real-life excitement.

    Pillows need improvement.

    The vibe was so cool, and the amenities were better than budget, with super fast WiFi and free walking tours. The indicator for the shared baths was great, and the daily tours were awesome for meeting new people and exploring NYC.

    I'd ask for better party options for young people. More events and activities at the hotel would make it even more lit for a young, fun-loving crowd like us!

    Great rooftop view and conveniently located near popular attractions. The staff was friendly and accommodating, providing excellent service. The room was clean and comfortable, offering all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay.

    The room was extremely small, making it difficult to move around and store luggage. The bathroom was cramped and lacked privacy, as the sink was located in the bedroom itself.

    Convenient location in the heart of the city, close to main attractions and subway stops. Friendly and helpful staff who assisted with holding luggage after check-out. Reasonable price for basic accommodations during a business trip.

    Extremely small rooms that felt cramped and more like a cell than a hotel room. Inadequate bathroom facilities with tiny sinks and easily flooded floors.

    I had a great stay at this hotel in midtown Manhattan. The location is fantastic, with plenty of eateries around. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The rooms were basic but clean, and the price was very reasonable for New York City. I also appreciated the fact that breakfast was included in the price, and the view from my room was amazing.

    All in all, my stay at this hotel was okay.

    This hotel was in perfect walking distance to so many places in the city, and transportation via the local subway station was really easy. We loved the facilities, especially the phenomenal rooftop terrace which was our favorite spot to relish the beautiful city views. The staff was really helpful and accommodating. Also, the price was very reasonable for the central location.

    Nothing to fault.

    I recently stayed at a hotel that was more than adequate for my granddaughter and me. It was located near a beautiful park with a lovely waterfall and a cozy little cafe for breakfast. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. The size of the queen ADA suite was impressive and provided us with enough space. It was a great choice for our short stay.

    Nothing at all.

    Located in a safe and secure area, this hotel is conveniently close to many main attractions in midtown. The clean and well-equipped rooms offer surprising comfort, despite their small size. The helpful and responsive staff ensure an easy check-in and check-out process.

    One inconvenience was the lack of an ice machine for guests, requiring a trip to the nearby bar/restaurant to retrieve ice.

    As a budget traveler, I found Pod 51 to be a reasonably priced option for my stay in the city. The bunk bed room I chose had comfortable beds with individual lights, USB ports, sockets, and a TV. The room also had a table, phone, and washbasin. The shared bathrooms were clean and easily accessible, with dispensers for toiletries and indicator lights. The hotel's central location made it convenient to walk to major attractions and access the subway. The rooftop terrace was a great bonus, offering a relaxing space to unwind.

    Can recommend this hotel.

    Perfect location, comfortable room, close to the metro, luggage service and airport transport. Possibility to eat next door.

    Heating management is complicated, sometimes too hot or too cold. The windows are not very well insulated so you could hear the music from the bar below (until not too late). There were noises from the pipes at night.

    We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The highlight for us was definitely the rooftop terrace with its breathtaking view. We enjoyed sitting there, having breakfast, and sipping on coffee while taking in the stunning scenery. The modern look of the rooms and the entire hotel added to the overall experience. The location was fantastic, with a lovely park nearby featuring a charming waterfall and close proximity to many attractions. The free wifi had a great connection, and we appreciated not having to pay any deposit. The bed was super comfortable and the staff went above and beyond by bringing our suitcases to our room after check-in. Additionally, we were able to leave our luggage after checking out without any extra charge.

    Almost perfect, just bring your earbuds for the noisy hallway and elevator.

    Close to the metro, ideal location, close to everything, plenty of places to eat around, small room but ideal for a solo traveller, really top

    The insulation is not very good, you can hear people in the corridor, I didn't understand how the radiator works, there would be a fridge missing in the room for the picnics.

    I had such a wonderful experience at this hotel! The staff was so accommodating and kind, allowing me to check-in early even though it wasn't officially time. It really made a difference in my day, as I was able to get some much-needed rest in the newly-made bed before exploring the city. The room I stayed in was small but had everything I needed, including a private bathroom. The location was perfect, right in the middle of everything, making it easy for me to get around and visit all the tourist spots. There were also plenty of great restaurants and eateries nearby, ensuring that I never went hungry. The amenities in the room were top-notch, with heating and air conditioning, a terrace, and a flat-screen TV. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting this city!

    I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

    Pod 51 offered free guided walking tours, fast WiFi, and luggage storage on check-in/out days. The indicator for shared baths occupancy was convenient, and the hotel organized three fun weekday tours for guests.

    The hotel is conveniently located near several subway stations, making it easy to explore all the must-visit places in New York. It is right in the general area of popular attractions, and you can easily access them by walking or taking a short ride on the subway. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly and polite.

    The bathroom is small and could have been designed better, with the sink inside instead of outside.

The staff at the reception were friendly and helpful, allowing us to store our bags before and after check-in. The lobby had a COOL lounge area for chilling with delicious coffee and bagels.

    As a satisfied guest, I recently stayed at Pod 51 for a few days. The hotel was perfect for my needs and offered a great value for its location. One of the highlights of my stay was the peacefulness of the hotel at night, allowing me to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, the staff was kind enough to grant me a late checkout of 1:00 pm without any extra charges. The accommodations in the pod-style room were comfortable, with a cozy and clean bed. The bathroom, although small, was well-maintained and tidy. Moreover, the unique decor of the hotel added a touch of interest to my experience.

    I can definitely recommend this hotel.

    The room was cozy and had a cool urban vibe with its dark grouted white subway tiles. As city enthusiasts, we loved the location and the modern, efficient design suited our style perfectly.

    The stand-up shower was a bit on the small side for our liking, but some folks might find it charming.

    As a frequent traveler, I only stayed at Pod 51 for transit during my trip to New York. The hotel's convenient location, just 15 km away from LaGuardia Airport, made my short stay hassle-free and efficient. The modern decor and well-equipped rooms provided a comfortable and stylish resting place during my brief layover.

    The rooms at Pod 51 were indeed very small and lacked private bathrooms, which may be a downside for those seeking more spacious accommodations. there was a slight mix-up with my requested yellow taxi to the airport, as I was provided with a private service at an unexpected extra cost of $15.

    Best location to explore the city, rooftop is a nice place to catch some sun, and the on-site restaurant offers a variety of tasty burgers. The multilingual concierge staff was helpful. if you actually need them.

    Who needs soundproofing? I loved being serenaded all night long by garbage trucks, sirens, and inconsiderate neighbors.

    We stayed in a double bedroom with a private bath for a week. The location was perfect, with many places within walking distance. The area was also really nice. The reception/lobby area was welcoming and clean. The rooftop terrace was beautiful, and the seating area in the lobby was modern and comfortable. The shared bathroom was cleaned daily and kept clean by other guests, which was nice and respectful. The maid service was reliable, and the maid did an amazing job cleaning our room every day. The single room was clean and the bed sheets were fresh and the mattress was very comfy. The Samsung TV in the room was a nice addition, and having a sink in the room was convenient. The lighting in the room was excellent, and the phone and alarm provided were helpful. The staff were professional and helpful, making our stay pleasant.

    Felt very welcomed, no reason to complain.
