Guest reviews for Pod 51
Very nice basic hotel. I went for the shared bathroom and I always managed to find one close to use.
The hotel is quite basic but has all the essentials and is great for single and young travellers including free Wi-fi. A clean comfortable bed, tv and sink in the room. No kettle or tea and coffee making facility so I brought my own travel kettle.
There is a cafe facility downstairs and secure bag storage for the last day. As with all New York hotels you pay the facility fee but the price is very reasonable compared to some places.
I found the staff very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The hotel is close to a subway station but also within reasonable walking distance of The Rockefeller Centre, Times Square and Central Park.
I would certainly stay there again when in Manhattan.

Perfect hotel for travellers!
I choose this hotel for the price as it was significantly cheaper than most NYC hotels. However this was not reflected in the quality or cleanliness of the hotel. It was a small but closey little room with bunk beds, sink, 2 televisions and little a desk. The room was very clean and the beds were comfy. We did not have a bathroom in our room the room had a light system to tell us when any of the four bathrooms were available. We never had to wait for one to be available. Bathrooms were always clean had easily to use showers. I would fully recommend this hotel for anyone travelling to NYC looking to save a bit of money on the hotel choice.

Great location
Pros:
Great location
Cons:
Bed and pillows ( for me anyway)
No proper bar that we knew of.
Location:
Midtown, you can get anywhere from here....I suggest just wandering, so much to see.
Great location for seeing the city. Very clean, room tiny but fine for its purpose. View from the roof amazing but shame there's no bar. Bed not comfortable for me personally but lack of sleep could also have been jetlag.

Horrible nights sleep
Pros:
Location wasn't bad but I didn't like much at all there is nothing else to say
The staff where bad
Cons:
It checked out a night early because the room was like a sauna but more importantly it was so noisy. Every time someone turned a tap on you could hear in the room. The shower was next door so that was heard too. Let alone door slamming and loud voices. No sleep was had

Very good hotel, good location
Excellent stay. No issues. Very clean and modern. Near 53rd street and lexington subway station easy to commute around, even from JFK via the airtrain which I recommend over a taxi or shuttle. Save yourself some money. Would stay here again.

short new york trip
Hotel perfect for what I needed, had ensuite room which was perfect for amount of time spent in it. Room cleaned every day, fairly quiet for New York so slept well. Only criticism check in staff didn't seem particularly friendly just told me room number and where it was.Would have been nice to have been friendly, and would have helped to have been told restaurant was closed, so I wouldn't have gone into it wanting food to be told it wasn't open for 2 weeks ! Would recommend pod 51 as place to stay and if ever return to New York would stay again

NYC trip
The room and hotel were great and we only used it for sleeping and showering etc. The rest of the time we were out sightseeing etc. The hotel is in a great location only 15min walk from rockefeller center and 20 from times square. Really happy with the hotel and I would definitely stay there again. Only downside was the rooms were a bit small, hence the name pod hotel, but it was still very comfortable despite the lack of space and I only really slept in the room. Great experience and I would happily recommend this hotel to others.

Couple in New York
Hotel was what i have expected. As we only need a place to sleep when you're tired exploring the city. I have no complaints about the staff and cleanliness. Only issue is i think bed is short -dont really matter that much and aircon can only be set to 71degrees F which still very warm. Overall - we're happy.
