The Pod Hotel New York - Nueva York

Room very small but I suppose as expected from the name. Toilet and shower area very small and we had to sleep sideways on the bed. Stayed twice at the beginning and the end of the same holiday. On our first stay the room was clean but we did find an empty condom packet tucked down the back of the chair. There must be different sized rooms as our son stayed there 18 months previously and his bathroom/toilet was much bigger and he could sleep the correct way round in his bed even though he is taller then my husband. All in all the Pod is a good price for New York, quirky and the staff and location are great.

This hotel was exactly what I expected, and maybe a little more. It was small. It was trendy. And it was in a central location for site seeing. So no surprises considering the price. Since it was still priced decently, I'm reserving the right to be critical. I have one complaint and one squabbly comment. The complaint was that there were two flat pillows only--Very uncomfortable!!!! My squabbly comment is that while waiting for the shuttle to the airport, one person was laying on the couch in the EMPTY lobby and was told that he couldn't do that. A little snooty to me--it just seemed like such a ridiculous thing to pick over considering some of the other people were slithering around and looking useless.

This hotel is a wonderful area of NY. Although the rooms are small, they are clean and well-maintained. This is definitely not a hotel for those who are claustrophobic or who travel with a lot of luggage. Be sure to check out the roof top for truly unforgettable views of Manhattan.

Excellent hotel for the money. Clean rooms, very nice. Always will stay here until they start raising the prices. Many European guests--great value.

The Pod Hotel is not for everyone. The rooms, by American standards, are small but they are comfortable. I have stayed here twice, once in a bunk bed room with a bathroom down the hall, and most recently in a queen room with a private bath. The private bath was, again, very small. However, for the price, I get a comfortable room in a hotel with a quirky style, comfortable bed, some ipod friendly stuff and a great place to lounge around between my New York adventures. I love the Pod Hotel and can't wait to come back. Just know that it is small.

Hotel is very trendy, full of European travelers, and don't be fooled - it's also a hostel. If you want your own room and bathroom, but sure to pay the extra money to ensure your privacy. Rooms were clean, quiet, but very small. Overall, great value for the location.

I was a little hesitant to share a bathroom with other rooms, but it was not a problem. With 4 bathrooms per floor we never had to wait, not even for a morning shower.

Have now stayed at the Pod a number of times and at different times tried the single, double and queen bed sized rooms. Each one was excellent value for the money, spotless, usually quiet, and all the required amenities. Early check-in on the last two visits were accomodated. Desk and concierge helpful when needed. The location cannot be beat in midtown - great restaurants and transportation immediately at hand. Highly recommended!

We wanted to have a unique hotel experience for our first trip to New York and the Pod delivered. We had one of the smallest rooms in the hotel, but loved its coziness. We never had to wait for a bathroom and the showers were amazing. We loved the rooftop and the neighborhood we were in. We always felt safe and were only a block from the subway. Overall it was a great experience!

Great hotel... Young courteous staff, cool room concepts/decor... Excellent mid-town location easy to everthing... Exceptionally clean room, great air conditioning (a must-have for me) and excellent water pressure. The hotel was significant part of a very enjoyable trip to NYC

Stayed for 6 nights. Sharing of a bathroom was never a problem. In room you can see when WC is vacant/occupied. Great feature. Rooms tiny but clean and simple. Elevators can get cramped. would stay again.

very loud at night, the room is basically part of a train. the price doesnt match the quality of the environment.

I was glad I read the many hotel reviews on the website. I knew exactly what to expect. The location was great, and really we only needed a place to sleep.

Enjoyed our stay. The hotel has a cool rooftop area to have a drink or some takeout.

Rooms were clean. A little small, but for the price it was perfect.

If you and a friend are planning a trip to New York and you'd like to stay in Manhattan but you're on a tight budget, the Pod is perfect. However, you do get what you pay for. The bunk bed room was smaller than a college dorm, just enough room for the bunks, a little desk and a sink. Even the safe was small, maybe 4 inches deep at the most. The shared bathrooms were also tiny, but well kept and clean (just remember to bring a pair of shower shoes!). Definitely a hotel designed for young travelers, great if you don't mind conceding all the creature comforts of a full-service hotel. My personal suggestion is that you use the money you save by staying here to indulge yourself at the famous Smith & Wollensky's steak house, which is only two blocks away!

This is my sixth stay at the Pod, and I recommend it highly. Rooms are small but well designed, maximizing available space. Location is central, with reasonably priced and good restaurants in walking distance.

First off the location of this hotel is excellent 5 mins from radio city and the rock and 10-15 from times sq. amazing. hotel rooms are small but you're in new york and the single i had was more than adequate. the maids were very friendly and so were the reception and lobby people. the bed was ok but alright for getting the head down for a few hours, at the end of the day it was perfect and will stay again

Two blocks from the subway and within walking distance of some good restaurants & a nice urban mini-park a few doors down and across the street. There is also a grocery store and fruit vendor around the corner. I stayed 5 nights in a single room w/ no bath & I never found both of the bathrooms on my floor to be occupied at one time. A couple nights I had a tight schedule to get to a seminar so I showered before going to bed just in case. My only complaint (admittedly minor) was that the pillows were extremely thin and some of the towels were also. I asked at the front desk for another pillow to be put in my room and I was told I should come back later and ask again. Huh? I don't think the onus should have been put on the guest to have to stand in line and ask another time. However, I eventually got another one w/ little trouble in the afternoon when the front desk staff seems more friendlier. The biggest negative was the elevator system. 3 elevators (one inoperable all week) and one 2 separate controls. That means everyone would press both buttons and whenever your elevator came the elevator often stopped on multiple floors to find nobody there because they got on the other elevator. ugh. Aside from that, the Pod will be my 1st choice when i return to nyc. Also - I thought the hotel breakfast was overpriced and so-so in quality. I recommend going to PAX a block away for some decent & more moderately priced breakfast fare. Thank you, thank you very much

I stayed in a bunk bed room with a shared bathroom. The bed was reasonably comfortable considering it was a twin. There was a wall mounted TV for each bed, so you could watch different shows if you wanted. Room was clean with nice decor. The shared baths gave me pause when I was booking it, but turned out to be clean and we never had to wait. There are many restaurants within walking distance and the hotel is centrally located making it easy to get pretty much anywhere in Manhattan. A great place for the money.

The rooms were decent enough for the money paid, just a place to crash after roaming around the city. Very clean bathrooms. Convenient location and nice private garden right across the street (u cant miss it).. All in all I would say I'm satisfied with this hotel and would sure recommend this to others. P.S: The hotel staff were helpful as well. Thats really helps.

For the price and the value you get - you can't beat the Pod. All you need in NYC is a place to sleep at night, and it is perfect. The bathroom/shower set up is great also. And an amazing view from up top!

I was slightly worried about sharing a small room and double bed with my boyfriend on our trip to New York, but, It was WONDERFUL! The rooms are well planned for their small area, but, wonderfully decorated so you hardly notice. I say definitely spring for a room with your own bathroom. The showers were amazing, love the rain shower head. Will stay there again for sure!

Ess-A-Bagel is right down the street - great bagels! Subway stations are with 2 blocks in more than one direction. Coffee/Bars/Food - all within a two block radius - many, many, options. A single room is small and you will share bathrooms with your floormates, but the price is good and the location is great if you want to explore New York.

I needed to book something quick, and this hotel was one of the cheapest on the list. The Queen Pod room was confortable and just what I needed. The in-room bathroom is miniscule, but sufficient. (Note: this hotel has other rooms without in-room bathrooms, take care when booking.) It might be awkward if you're sharing the room. Again, the bathroom is tiny. Tiny, tiny, tiny. The bed was very comfortable, and I slept like a baby. (I often have trouble sleeping.) The airconditioner was off when I arrived, so I set it to the coldest setting. When I returned that evening, the room was delightfully frigid! I love a room with great airconditioning! The staff was very friendly, and the bell captain kept my bag for an entire day for me with no issue. The hallways on the 8th floor were a little dark, I'm not sure if that's a trendy design thing or if there was a problem, I'd recommend they make it just a little brighter if it was on purpose. The hotel is mostly younger people, and many foreigners. I had neighbors who were noisy, but fortunately the walls are thick and couldn't really hear them when I was in my room (only when passing their room in the hallway). Worked for me! I'd recommend this room to anyone who needs basic lodging. I travel a lot for business and I don't need all the sillyness that many of these big hotel chains give you. I like quirky unique hotels, and this is one of them--a keeper in my book. (Just make sure you book a room with an in-room bathroom!)

My stay was very comfortable and I would certainly stay again. Don't be intimidated by the dark hallways the rooms are very bright and modern. The roof top garden was a bit of a dissapointment as there was a pile of junk stored there which took away from the ambience. Bathrooms are really not bad and there is a light in your room to let you know when they are available. Only fault of bathroom is they do not give you a shelf to put your belongings while you are in the shower, you also need to bring your own hand towel when just using the toilet facility as there are no paper towels. The only other downside was the fact that it is about 1/2 hour walk to Times Square or a $5.00 cab ride. However, it is only one block from the subway. All in all, it met my expectations, it was a bed to sleep in a clean place for a good price.

The hotel was cool and edgy contemporary but my room's AC did not work. I complained and 36 hours later was not remedied. Ever try to sleep on a hot NYC night without AC or a fan?

The room size was fine enough since I was staying only for 1 night - my only MAJOR complain was the AC wasn't working properly. I went directly to the front desk 2x (on different times) to say that the AC wasn't working. Someone would come up the room and it'll work for 30 minutes and die again. After my second attempt of telling them of the AC problem (and getting rude stares back - as if I do not know how to work an AC!!) I just slept through it with the window open. I would still recommend the hotel - but don't expect it anything more than lodging and toilet facilities.

I will keep this short and simple: I read about The Pod in an inflight mag, made a reservation for three nights in NYC and I can only tell you this: If you're young-hearted this is the NYC hotel for you.
