Excellent location in midtown and very affordable. Small clean rooms and a cool vibe to the hotel. Cafe in lobby open in the morning and a roof deck. Important to know that the bathrooms are shard with several on each floor but very clean and can be locked from inside. Check and check out was easy and it was not too loud. Great spot for our trip.Mattress too soft.

Checkin was smooth and quick, the location is perfect (here for meetings at the UN which is just a few minutes' walk away), great value for price. I love the rooftop balcony (with strong Wifi, making end-of-day touching base with the family pleasant and relaxing. Friendly, professional staff. My room was sparkling clean. Convenient coffee spot in the lobby. I had stayed here last August with my teenage son for a fun weekend, and we loved the place which is why I came back. Found it a great hotel for a work trip as well. Kudos. I will come again.

The moment I arrived with my wife, the staff at the reception welcomed us well and provided a suitable accommodation for us. Although it was our first time at New York, we felt safe. It was a great experience when we lodged at Pod 51. Thank you. sulej@wfu.edu, phone: 3369728240

Mousetraps and not clean room. Room was very small, couldn’t stall a suitcase. Temperature was too cold, very nosy and whole building smelled like weet/smoky. I couldn’t come back again although the area was very nice.

My experience with Pod 51 Hotel's management, front desk, staff and room was exceptional. Space is a premium in places like NYC and yet the clean and room was spacious as compared to say a comparable Tokyo pod. The comfortable, linen, lighting, toiletries, closet, variety of pillows, and close proximity to metro provided exactly what is needed a pleasant rest. In particular, Mr. Albert at the front desk treated me with authentic grace and kindness making my work trip stressfree. He facilitated my early check in and upgrade, which gave me time and the peace of mind to excel in my business trip endeavors. With gratitude for your phenomenal service.

I would like to thank all your team for their great performance, specially Mr. Albert at reception, he was a great help for me, assisting with my sightseeing online booking, that i had difficulty to complete, while check out, he helped me with my bags till the taxi door. He always grated me and other guests in professional way and smile. Cleaning team are doing excellent job, during my 10 days stay, my room and common area were always up to standards. Location is just in the middle of down town, everything is close by.

Way cheaper than anywhere else, amazing location, surprisingly quiet at night, but no bells & whistles (room was very small, why they call it a “pod” but that’s what you get in NYC), not perfectly clean (shower grout was moldy and sheets had a few minor stains), hallway had a weird smell but not the room. But, we would stay again for the location. Felt safe while here. Staff were very helpful.

My stay was good, I just had trouble sleeping because the room next door had four guys who smoked a lot of marijuana and talked loudly and laughed all night. Even if the hotel has nothing to do with it. I was also wrong not to notice his room that I took didn't have a bathroom inside. I had to use the shared bathroom but it was always very clean.

I stayed for 3 weeks when having a rough patch in life. The hotel is affordable and very good value for the price. Clean room, shared bath was well-kept, and in a good location where it's close enough to public transit but not on a super-busy and loud street. There's stores and food (both fast and sit-down dining) nearby. Wonderful. I think my only complaint was that it can get noisy at night depending on neighboring rooms.
