Rooms are small, but technically well done (ipod station, sink, tv, radio couch wchich turns into bed all in one tiny room. actually it feels like being in a sleeping compartment of a night train. In the rooms with shared bathroom you know if the restrooms and bathrooms are vacant, that spares you to walk back. Value for money is...

Stayed in a queen pod; which was exactly as advertised. What was missing from this hotel was service (front desk was really rude, though the bell captains and cleaning service people I encountered were very polite and professional), and basics. There was no coffee maker in the room, the elevators took forever and the music that played everywhere was really...

My recent stay at The Pod Hotel was booked ultra last-min. I was going to stay at one of the Gansevoort properties, and when that didn't work out at the 55th moment, my sister reminded me the Pod could be an option, so I booked a room with double or queen bed and an included bathroom. I think this hotel...

We probably paid the most of anyone staying in the hotel while we were there. I'd have rated this hotel a 5 if our rate had been $250 vs the $300 we paid. It wasn't worth that when we could have stayed at some other nicer hotels for the same price has they not sold out before I could book....

My cousin and I stayed here for a girls trip to New York - being our first time in New York we were not sure what to expect and with everything booked we were so happy that this hotel could accomodate us. Reading the reviews we really didn't know what to expect but we were pleasantly suprised! Fair enough the...

Just returned from the Pod hotel with my teenage daughter. Rooms reminded me of being in a cruiseship cabin. Very small but efficient with a spot for eveything . Great for a weekend or a stay for a few days. Rooms are as they appear on the website. Very clean, Free wireless in both rooms and lobby great for our...

I know that space is everything in New York, but this was ridiculous. There was not even 5 inches between the bed and the outside wall. The bathroom was no bigger than an airplanes, and premoted a feeling of claustrophobia. The "free" internet connection was also a joke. It never worked properly and when it did there were only a...

This hotel is great if you want a modern, clean, no frills attached place to stay in New York that is central. A great price for what you get, probably the best thing going around if you don't want to have your passport stolen in a dodgey hostel.

This was our first time in NYC. We stayed for 6 nights and shared a bunk pod room with my mate, with shared bathrooms.
Rooms were cleaned, beds made, clean towels, and trash emptied on a daily basis. Shared bathrooms were always clean, and we never had to wait to use them.
Location was also great, only a 5 minute...

I really enjoyed this hotel. It's clean, comfortable, and well-designed. I got the queen-sized room, which has an amazing amount of very clever built-in storage. The room is tiny (and the bath tinier); but it's still organized well enough to accommodate two people and their stuff very comfortably. I didn't feel at all claustrophobic or cramped, as I often do...
