GREAT PLACE”
Nice location, great food around, nice staff (considering its NY), smaller room than expected, but neat enough. Recommend!
Good location but surprised by extra fee at check in and very loud noises all through the night”
Could here every person in the floor entering or exiting their unit. The radiators were extremely loud and banged all night. Could not get any sleep and then really surprised by extra fee for services at check-in — this should have been part of our initial booking even if we used a discount site.
Great location”
Nice people and great for the price Good location
One of the cheapest in Midtown”
Midtown is expensive but you will be surprised that this hotel is very competitive in pricing. Even if shared bathroom - it was surprisingly clean and pleasant. Wifi a little bit slow, but enough for surfing or checking social media. Rooms are a little bit cramped but what do you expect for an expensive city like NYC.
Great location, frill free and a sensible travel choice in NYC”
Great little hotel, rooms are small and you do share bathrooms, however clean and centrally located-a good budget option for a weekend in NYC.
Single Pod Shared Bathroom”
Young female solo traveler first time in NYC. I really could not find a fault. Staff were lovely, very clean, fresh sheets and towels every day, great value for money. I stayed a full 5 night. Great location to all subway lines. I would recommend an unlimited 7 day pass for anyone staying more than 3 days. I will 100% staying again next time in NYC. Safe location in Midtown. I never felt vulnerable even waling around past 12. I could control my room temperature and extra pillow provided. If a light sleeper, I would recommend earplugs. Showers were lovely and clean. I did notice the red occupancy lights for the shared bathrooms was activated when the light was on. People would forget to turn the lights off when leaving the bathroom at it would appear as occupied in the rooms so I would suggest to go an check even if all lights are on. Over all I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend Pod51 to anyone traveling on a budget. Joey
It met my basic needs, but was lacking”
I stay overnight in the city from NJ for workshops sometimes. I paid about $220 for my room with a shared bathroom. My experience was more so that of a hostel then a hotel. I don't mind the shared bathrooms, in fact its nice to not have it attached in my opinion, but the bed was hard and cheap, the sheets/blanket were like being away at a bunkcamp. For the price I expected just a little more comfort, and maybe a piece of art on the wall. The smart design is genius, I love the compact use of space, but for the price I expected a little more.
Acceptable”
The room we reserved look nothing like the photos on their website. I would not recommend this hotel.
Reasonable price in downtown Manhattan. Location ok.”
Ok for 1 night.
Exceptional”
Enjoy and the staff were very friendly. Room very clean with all basic needs (Room was with Restroom included)!
The Best Budget Hotel in Midtown Manhattan”
My stay at Pod 51 was super worth it because the place is so accessible to everything. They have the best roof top view perfect for instagram feed. One of the most minimalist concepts that I actually like.
Viaje de placer”
El servicio como de cafetería bastante horrible y mal educado.
Penoso el servicio ”
Desastre tanto la web como el hotel
Super hotel tres bien placé. chambre Propre personnel accueillant . Tres belle vue depuis le roofto”
Par contre chauffage pas tres top . Nous avions froid dans la chambre et le chauffage etait trop fort lorsqu'on le mettait en marche
立地とコスパ良し”
何より立地が良かったです。周辺にいろいろあるし、駅も近いし、タイムズスクエアまで歩いて15〜20分ほど。NYでこの値段の安さの割にはどこも清潔でした。スタッフの方も優しかった。 部屋かなり狭くて、共同バスルームだったので、少し窮屈でした。でも泊まるだけなら問題なしです。共同バスルームはそんなに混まなかったです。
小而巧”
入住第一天床上有頭髮，隔音略差，住在9樓每天伴著警笛聲、臨間關門聲入眠。但共用廁所很乾淨，隨時有人清掃。
鬧區中的青年旅館”
第一天到達時, 櫃台先生呵欠連連的幫我們辦入住手續 . 我還第一次看到櫃檯人員毫不掩飾的打呵欠 , 還毫不在乎... 雖然網站上的價錢是一百五十多美金 , 但再加上稅金 , 城市稅, resort fee, 一晚也要兩百美金, 廁所浴室還得共用 .第一晚住二樓 , 窗外有冷氣機 , 吵的我精神衰弱 , 不能入睡 . 隔天要求換房 , 換到四樓 , 好一些 , 但冷氣機還是很吵., 如果不易入睡的人 , 恐怕要考慮別家. 下一次來, 我會考慮住遠一點的地方 , 也許品質好一點 , 畢竟曼哈頓寸土寸金 ...
가성비 좋은 숙소입니다~”
여행을 할때는 어떤 점에 중점을 둬야하느냐에 따라 숙소를 결정해야할 것 같습니다 확실한 장점인 숙소위치를 위해 다른건 포기했습니다~ 화장실은 공용이지만 혼잡했던 적 없구요~ 혼자 지내기에는 방도 충분했습니다~ 냉장고나 커피포트가 없었던 적은 아쉬웠지만 전 만족합니다~ 직원분들도 친절했고 여름에 가면 옥상에서 가볍게 맥주도 즐길수 있을 것 같구요~ 주변 숙소를 생각하면 이 가격이 저렴하다고 느껴지실 거예요~
위치가 엄청 좋아요”
모마, 세인트 패트릭 성당, 타임스퀘어 등 관광지를 걸어갈 수 있는 거리에 있습니다. 지하철 역도 바로 근처에 있어요. 에싸베이글이 5분 거리입니다. 공용 화장실도 늘 깨끗하고 편하게 지냈습니다.
위치 좋음”
방은 진짜 좁아요
