I stayed here for 2 nights and it was a good experience. The room including the bathroom was clean upon my arrival. The room was small (but I expected that since the website lists the exact size of the room). Shower was also small as expected and I was worried about the hotel staff not changing the shower curtains between guests because of the other reviews. However, it seemed clean to me, no visible stains or anything. The bunk beds was kind of fun and my friend and I got individual TVs within our bunk and wall plugs which was convenient and unique (kind of like a sleeper train set up). I also like the location. It was central to the things I had planned. The staff was pretty friendly. The negatives was that checking in took a very long time and there is a daily resort fee. (Not even sure what the resort fee goes to because this is definitely not a resort.) I would be back if there was a good deal. However, there are plenty of other hotels within the same price range (without after booking resort fee) in the same or closer by neighborhoods.

I stayed here for a week on business in September ‘23 in room 1517. I’ve stayed in other pod locations so had some idea of what to expect. The hotel lobby and lounge areas are basic but nice enough and the reception staff are very friendly and helpful on the occasions I did need to speak to them. The rooms are small by design and I honestly would struggle to stay there in a couple as you have basically zero privacy whatsoever. But, travelling solo is fine. The room wasn’t ultra clean (bathroom floor being most dubious) but there was daily housekeeping and linen changes which was a nice surprise. During my stay, The safe in my room stopped working and the maintenance person came and sorted it out within minutes and was very polite. Despite being in close proximity to others and many rooms there was very little noise. The hotel is literally a base to sleep and not a place you want to hang out in. It’s functional in the extreme but in terms of value for money it’s pretty unbeatable in Manhattan. I would definitely stay here again over the Times Square location which seemed much shabbier than this one. Murray Hill is slightly off the beaten track of the tourist trail which is partly why I chose the location. It’s quiet, there’s less traffic and if you’re arriving by car from JFK it’s just a few minutes out of the tunnel and a lot easier than queuing to Times Square.

I stayed at the Pod 39 several times before the pandemic. Things have definitely changed, and not for the better. The room I was given had the bunk beds blocking the window and shutters, so there was no way to let in natural light. This had never been the case in the past. Bare minimum amenities provided; not even a mini keurig for coffee or tea. There was a hair dryer available, which was nice. For some reason, the heating system was very loud, which prevented me from sleeping throughout the night. I could even hear the fans in the rooms on either side. At first, I thought it was maintenance working until I realized it was Sunday and way too late for that. Between the noise and the uncomfortable beds, I tossed and turned all night. Most of the staff I encountered was friendly and helpful. One person was a little snooty, which is hilarious considering the state of this place. The advertised rooftop lounge was closed. The Midtown location is ideal. If you just need to crash somewhere for a day or two, it's adequate. I had a much more enjoyable experience at Pod Times Square. Idk, it may be time to research other places for my next stay.

Not much to say, small rooms but more than enough for one person who only stays there to sleep, Room was also clean and didn’t smell. Only 4 stars for the room because the AC unit is really loud when it runs so I had to heat up my room before I sleep and then again when I wake up since it switches off whenever it reaches the set temperature and arrays up again when it goes under that, which is loud. Service was good, Location is very good since you are a few minutes away from Grand Central, meaning you can access all subway lines at one spot. Also many restaurants and diners nearby. Neighborhood is calm, lot less crowded than the other Pod Locations.

Had a fantastic week-long stay in the Pod 39. The beds were very comfortable and the bed sheets were so soft! Before comingI imagined the rooms would be smaller but they were of decent size which was a nice surprise. Best thing about Pod was the location: walking distance from the main touristic places. Will definitely stay there again in the future

The rooms are decent, except for the fact that housekeeping doesn't clean the shower or change the curtain, spray or wipe anything down, fingerprints on a plethora of surfaces before my arrival. Staff steals so be sure to keep up with your jewelry and belongings. Staff wouldn't care if you're having difficulties with there system or if your belongings go missing after housekeeping have "cleaned" the room, feels spiteful. Although I am responsible for forgetting something of mine, the staff's indifferent attitude was showed me there would be no point in arguing. Enjoy your stay!

Updating given their not great response. 1) your window is shut with a blind that cannot open due to room being so small the bed leans against it. So still no real window. 2) I am fully aware how the 3rd party garage works, clearly as I used it. Your front desk and phone team is not so they should be the one you send that to. 3) for people reading, it is always disappointing and a flag when a company spends more time trying to explain or make excuses and does not even apologize for rude behavior. I do not recommend this place to anyone. They were also rude and snobby to a couple other folks who happened to stay there at the tech conference I went to. So not an isolated event with me. Good luck to others, hopefully this saves someone else a headache or that they actually make an effort to improve customer experience. Tiny room that feels like a prison cell. Literally have to turn sideways to walk through room (more like closet than a room). No windows. Tiny tv. No comforter on bed and pillows uncomfortable. I needed a hotel for 1 night for a business conference and will never stay in one of their hotels again. What was worse was the snarky attitude from the front desk woman who checked me in. Was pretentious and had attitude and didn’t have good recommendations for food. A pretty basic ask for someone arriving late and wanting to grab dinner before a long day of meetings. If no stars was an option I would have done that. Oh and no they don’t have parking and they have no idea how it works. They told me it’s self parking (it’s not which I don’t like), they said I have to keep it there for 24 hours before I pick it up (which is absurd they thought that and obviously not the case). They gave misinformation, were rude and were unhelpful. Save yourself and go somewhere else if you actually want sleep. Maybe this is great for college students but not adults.

Ein sehr empfehlenswertes und vor allem preiswertes Hotel in NYC. Die Lage ist der Hammer und der Service im Hotel ist wirklich gut. Die Zimmer sind sauber und täglich kam eine nette Putzkraft. Kleiner Störfaktor waren dann aber doch die Zimmer. Ich habe es mit meiner Schwester geteilt und vom Platz her war es echt schwierig. Wir hatten ein Glück nicht viel Gepäck dabei aber da muss man sich schon gut organisieren. Aber für den Preis in Ordnung

This is the second Pod location in NYC that I am reviewing. I am now officially a huge fan of the Pod group. So far the dates have been great, so I think we'll get married! This location is newer than Pod 51 where I stayed last trip. I was happily greeted by a front desk person that quickly got me in, door card-key in my hand, and on my way with a discount coupon for the bar and a huge smile. What a great start! I was also upgraded, gratis, to a Queen room; I booked a full or twin bed room. The room is awesome. Small? Yes, of course, but we know all of this going into the deal. The room is super clean and the bathroom is tight but very smart. Clean as a whistle, really, from top to bottom. This to me is huge; cleanliness is critical and the details here are well taken care of. Smartly designed for the space, everything you really need for a comfortable night's stay, is here. The linens great, the pillows, great, storage under the bed great, wood paneling behind the bed - I have not seen that since my grandmother's place in the '70's but who cares; it's super clean! All good and I am very happy. Thanks Pod 39!

I stayed here basically over night. Cute little room, tiny layout, but I was solo so it was fine. I liked the modern aesthetic of the interior design. The location is kinda nestled in on the street and I missed it at first. I thought the location was decent in terms of being near stuff (but then again it's NYC). Pretty bare bones in terms of luxuries, I suppose, but has what you need. I guess I'd say my only slight issue was my room had a faint kind of damp/mildewy smell. Not sure how to describe it. But I think it may have been people showering without closing the glass door to the bathroom area. I initially did it too! But it wasn't horrible or distracting. The staff at the desk was friendly and professional (as far as I recall). Has a neat glass elevator. I'd stay here again and recommend it.

I was a little shocked at how small the room was at first there are bigger room you can rent, but the bed is very comfortable and the room is clean. It doesn’t have a microwave or fridge. It does have a safe I went downstairs to get hot water for tea. It does have a TV on the wall.

I stayed at Pod 39 during a very short-notice, one-night trip to NYC recently. I was very happy with the experience overall: friendly desk staff, clean room, quick elevators, and quiet at night. Online booking was easy, too. That said, what you see is what you get: Pod 39's rooms are indeed small, and the hotel is no-frills. But if you're like me and don't plan on staying at the hotel all day, it's perfect. The small rooms allow for a more enticing price point, as well. No complaints, honestly. If I find myself in NYC again, I'd definitely consider coming back to Pod 39.

What a great experience, I came here with no expectations at all considering it's not a 5-star hotel but man they exceeded all my expectations, perfect service, whatever you ask for they'll do with a smile, I asked to change my room because it was on a low floor and the receptionist changed it with no questions asked. the rooms are not huge but they're more than enough for 2 people to stay in and have a great time, we didn't spend a lot of time in the room since we were exploring the city most of the time but when we were there we had absolutely no complaints, the only thing they can improve is having vents in the rooms, considering how small the room is it sometimes gets a little unpleasant with the restroom being that close to bed. but overall price + service + location being close to a lot of attractions, it's almost perfect. very highly recommended. ohh almost forgot, when it was time to leaves they offered to keep our luggage for 12 hours until we leave at no charge!

Rooms are small, but the bedding is always clean, which is the key part for me. The bright side of it being small is that you don't have people holding full-fledged convos in the hallway right outside your door. Unlike Pod Brooklyn, toilet is OUTSIDE the shower stall, which is nice. Fair warning: on the 3rd floor, you can kinda feel/hear the vibration for what I think are the HVAC units, but I like that as white noise so it didn't bug me. The rooftop was unexpectedly closed, but I honestly don't care about that amenity, so it was not a negative for me.

Love this concept and it’s location. The check in and room cleaning teams were friendly, helpful and effective. The rooms are exactly what you need to sleep, get ready in the morning and go out. If you want to hang out at the hotel, there is a very nice communal lounge - with TVs, couches and workstations (and a bar). Others have said the place is surprisingly quiet at night despite being just blocks from 42nd. An easy walk to all midtown attractions and transport. Great shops, bars and restaurants close by. Highly recommended and I will stay here again and send my work colleagues here.

I booked a last minute stay at Pod 39. While check-in was stated as 3pm, the staff was accommodating to check if they had any rooms available for me to do an early check-in. Information on complimentary coffee/tea/water in the mornings as well as roof-top bar access were shared with much detail. I asked the staff lady who served me on transportation to JFK and options were given and proposed. Much appreciated! For the single bed room that I booked, the room was small and had no view. The window looks out to some roof-top and stairways of the next building, I decided to keep the shades closed all the time. For all its compactness, I had everything I need for a stay; toiletries, towels, wifi and a work desk. The air-conditioning can get rather noisy when it generates up to keep the room cool every now and then though. Otherwise, rooms are pretty much sound proof and bed is comfortable! Location wise, Pod 39 sits at a convenient location. Easy access to major train lines and attractions. No shortage of food options as well. No doubt, unless I find another location with a cheaper price, I will be back at Pod 39 in my next visit to NYC !

The room is small but okay, some staffs were kind and friendly, but I had encountered one particularly just gave me bad attitude because I rejected her calling a taxi for me. The housekeepers were friendly as well, but in fact they didn’t really clean your room. They just put everything back and give you some new towels, that’s it. You can just leave your garbage at the door, then ask new towels from the front desk. No need to ask for the room service at all. Don’t forget to put the “sleep tightly” sign on your door, so the housekeeper won’t wake you up with the knock. It was noisy in my room, I could hear the sound from the equipment very clearly, sometimes I could also feel the vibration. The wifi here was definitely SLOW! Overall, it was okay, but I will not go back again.

great place to stay if you're doing a solo trip or with one other person. rooms are small but I mean you're in NY what do you expect. my skin must be super sensitive cause I got hives from their body wash, so if you have sensitive skin bring your own. the sink in the bathroom is small, and so are the showers lol but I didn't mind since I was traveling alone. just a warning. i'd come and stay here again though!

Great hotel if you don't mind being a little tight on room. Hotel is conveniently located to many things and only 3 blocks from Grand Central Station. Modern and clean room however they are very tight but enough for 2 people for a few nights. The price was also great compared to other hotels in the same area.

A very affordable, clean, cool, accommodation in midtown Manhattan. I have tried both the single and the double bed rooms. Though it's tight quarters to be in with a partner, it really has everything you need if you're spending all your time out in the city. And honestly, I find their space more efficient and convenient than other pricier hotels. Even pricey rooms are small in Manhattan. I continue to choose this place because of the location, the price, the cleanliness, the always delightfully working AC and black out shutters, and just the convenience of check out and everything. The new rooftop bar is pretty cool as well. I've stayed here three or four times, and they continue to make improvements, like offering free fitness access to a local gym. Also, in addition to the complimentary coffee in the mornings, you now have the option to buy some breakfast items without leaving the hotel.

Great place for a solo traveler. Room is functional and has everything you need. The water was hot and in room thermostat is excellent. Housekeeping is done daily. It's a 5 min walk to Grand Central station which has connections to a lot of subway lines.

Affordable for the area, great location. Small room but it has everything you need to sleep and get ready for the next adventure. Excellent customer service! No mini fridge in room but they do offer one in the lobby for medicine and I'm sure a couple other things if you ask. Overall super happy with my stay.

I selected Pod39 for its proximity to many of the attractions in NYC and Grand Central Station. Needing just somewhere to crash after a busy day, this hotel fitted the bill perfectly. I had a bunk Pod, for my son and I, which was essentially a bunk bed in a room with a table and a bathroom with shower and sink. There's a safe for your valuables etc so you don't need to take them with you. Despite its smaller dimensions there was easily enough room for us to share, it was clean and tidy and well maintained. The room was serviced every day and quiet through the night. The staff were helpful, friendly and even looked after our cases after checkout during our last day. I'd highly recommend it.

When we decided to go to New York, I needed to keep the price as low as possible, while still finding a place that I felt safe and that was close to things we wanted to do. I was pleasantly surprised to find this hotel. Obviously, the rooms are very small, but it was just my husband and I, so it worked just fine. We were only in the room to sleep, so we didn't need much space. The hotel has a nice rooftop bar, and we also enjoyed the free water and coffee in the lobby in the morning. They do offer free walking tours with their staff, but we did not use that option since we had a bus tour scheduled. The hotel is in a great location. I would absolutely stay here again.

Best value for the money. This is not a 5 star hotel, so don’t expect a lot other than a bed to sleep and private attached bathroom. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. It offers free coffee and tea in the morning and gives free access to the gym down the street. I couldn’t be more happy for the service I received for the price I paid. Hot shower, sound proof windows, clean bed, storage for luggage, safe box, heater and air conditioner both works, it is a bit old fashioned but works. Couple of other notes, the staff at midnight shift isn’t very helpful but most of the staff during the working hours are helpful and nice. There are some stains in the iron doors of some rooms that did not bother me, but I hope the management can see my message and fix those.

I absolutely love staying at this Pod hotel. Every time I've stayed here my experience has been positive. The staff here is so kind and always attentive. Honestly, one of the nicest staff I've experienced at a hotel. There is a beautiful seasonal rooftop restaurant bar with an amazing view of the city. The location is central and the rooms are always tidy/clean.

I think of you're a traveller and a student or expecting a small dorm type room then it's fine. But if you're expecting to really relax and enjoy this facility... It's a small dorm room with shower so go elsewhere. Location is great. Not much amenities and there is a blinking fire alarm which is keeping me up. It was lower cost for this area near Bryant park (3 blocks east) but I won't be coming back.

This hotel is in the perfect location. It's in a beautiful part of New York and wherever we were going it was about a 10-15 minute travel time. The hotel staff is also extremely nice and friendly, willing to help with anything we needed. The checking in and checking out process was really efficient. The hotel rooms are perfect for what we were looking for. Spending most of our time out in the city, the room was comfortable to rest in at night and get ready in the morning.

Is perfect for the backpacking type of dude. Or for a night of fun with your buds & lover. Clean. Organized & just enough space for basic comfort. Should be a little cheaper but price was not bad at all. Forgot to take pics this time...

Very practical 3 stars hotel in the best location in Manhattan. I was in room 1606, small yet had everything I needed in the room. Room is cleaned every day, receptionists are friendly and the security staff are cool and amazing. I booked the single pod, small but enough for me, the AC was great, shower pressure and hot water was plenty, TV worked. Room had a funny smell but goes away if you open the window. If you are planning a long but affordable stay in midtown Manhattan and plan to spend most of your time outside of your room then this hotel would be perfect.

This location is a 15 minute walk from the UN, with great shops and restaurants even closer. The rooms are smaller than an average hotel, but the rate for NYC is so great. Breakfast was decent, but there are also great breakfast places nearby and the bar was very fun. I traveled with a big group, and the concierge was always so helpful with any questions, especially checking in and out. Highly recommend.

I had the best experience here. The room is small but perfect, cozy and clean. Wifi and tv at the room. the staff is nice and they offer coffee and tea at morning. the location is perfect, two blocks away from grand central, Bryant park and Empire state. i would definitely go back

The shower heads DONT move. & Bad hospitality. They denied my reservation because I left a prior 1 Star review. Front desk are Very much Rude

Not only is the service fantastic, but the atmosphere is excellent. A cool space with good energy right in the center of it all! The rooms are perfect clean and efficient. When ever we go to nyc we always book a room at pod 39!

Good location but hard to find. The room are too small for two people. The noises of pipes, hallways and other things could be heard clearly in the room. The rooftop was really beautiful.

It did the job. The room itself was fine- small, but enough room to sleep, shower, and change for my solo trip (wouldn't recommend for more than one person, even in the queen room). I wish there was a mini fridge but besides that the room was fine. Definitely an older place outfitted to look modern. Felt a little nicer than low budget could have been. Customer service/admin stuff was rougher. I tried calling the hotel 3 days in a row (multiple times a day) before my trip and only got someone on the phone one time after a fifteen minute wait. When I got there, the charges on my bill were higher than the invoice (seemed to be an admin error, they resolved it). It was fine, just annoying; definitely not a low-hastle experience. The front desk staff was helpful but it didn't feel like they were set up for success. I would consider staying here again on a solo trip if the price was right. But I wouldn't necessarily be excited about it.

My husband and I needed a place to stay closer to our son who was in the NICU at Tisch Hospital on 1st Ave before we went to the Ronald McDonald House on 72nd Ave. We got the queen room for a week and it was surprisingly very practical and roomy for 2 people! The walk was only 15 minutes and the price was relatively affordable in Manhattan! I highly recommend to others!

Very easy check in, they let me check in early which was awesome because of the heatwave NYC was having. I was on the 16th floor. Very clean room, quiet and peaceful. The location is a few blocks away from EVERYTHING. I will be coming to stay again.

This review is specific to the rooftop bar. My friends and I had a chance to check out their HH right at the end of summer and I’m glad we did! We had a blast. The drinks were great (a bit pricey), the service was phenomenal and the tuna tartar tacos are to DIE for.

The staff was very kind in welcoming us, we went for Thanksgiving, the room (1106) they offered us was quite compact for 2 people, but it meets our needs; What I do suggest to those at the hotel is to put a cover on the room temperature control, since at night the light that wakes you up is from the control. The view of the city is beautiful, you can take photos and take some time to reflect from the 17th floor. One metro station is 4 blocks near to the hotel and have a small grocery store in the same block of hotel. We were parking our car in Champion - 33 LLC Garage.

If this hotel were anywhere else this would probably be a two or three star review. But for New York City, this is about the best value you can get for your money. The rooms are small and barebones but have everything you need, plus the hotel staff are helpful and polite, and the location is convenient

Clean, easy and well located. Pete r if you want to be out seeing New York. The rooms are small but fine for one person or a couple. The showers were good and there was a safe in the room. They do free coffee and tea downstairs in the morning and offer table tennis and pool along with large TVs with sport on. The 17th floor has an outdoor bar with a good vibe and decent views. The bar is a bit expensive to though, but good for an arrival drink.

The room itself was really nice. Good for one person (or even two people) who need to crash somewhere for the night. I wouldn't really recommend it for longer stays. Also, two stars down because COVID protocol was not enforced. On arrival, I saw guests walking in and out of the building (and out of the elevators) without masks as if this was a pre-covid world. Even the front desk staff wore nothing. To say the least, that was not a good first impression. The room saved the experience, and the quick check-in and out process.

It is very close to downtown and close to the central station. There's a store in the corner. The hotel has a special rate with an icon parking that is two blocks away, $45 per day (regular cost $75). The rooms are small but comfy. We didn't have any trouble with the noise and the bed was really comfortable. The toilet is just by the bed, and the door is not sealed, but there are bathrooms in the basement floor of the hoteI.

The location was great! I could walk to Times Square and other places that I visited. The property was clean, and the staff were nice, polite, and friendly. The light bulbs in the room and bathroom were dimmable and good for sleeping time. The street view through the window was beautiful. I stayed on the 14th floor and had a nice view during the night. I have attached the picture. It was a specific place under the bed to put my stuff and luggage. I liked it. The room was small. I hit my knee and my arm a couple of times on the edge of the bed and the walls. The door of the room needs to be painted (I have attached the picture). The light bulb next to the bed was broken and didn't work.

Great little hotel! Pod 39 is a great hotel, 10/15 min walk from Times Square. 2 min walk from grand central station. Make use of the amazing rooftop bar views. The rooms are small but does the job. It's clean and the staff are friendly. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location! The hotel is nice, the rooms are obviously small but they have everything. I found it to be quiet and the bar at the ground floor is also very nice. Definitely a nice place to stop by to visit New York for work or pleasure.

I stayed at Pod39 for 5 nights the entire stay was fantastic! I did have one small little issue with a room and the Supervisor Zack was extremely helpful moved me to another bigger room. I can tell he went out of his way to make sure I got a great next room. Highly recommend this hotel for their staff. All of the front desk where fantastic and the cleaning staff as well!

Very nice place! Making it my weekly stay spot when I am traveling from upstate NY

The Hotel lobby and lounge area were very spacious, the staff was nice and the check in/ check out process was very quick. The room itself was great, I stayed in a single pod and the view was nice and there was barely any noise on my floor. House keeping comes in everyday and they have water available in the lounge to refill your water bottle. I appreciated the key tap system in the elevator, I felt safer. Overall my stay was great and I would definitely recommend/come again!

What a great place to stay. Great prices, Great rooms and the location just cannot be beaten. Right next to Grand Central station and the Newark Express Bus. Rooms are comfortable, shower and so on clean and all you need for your Big Apple experience. Bar downstairs is basic but does the job with a huge common area. Lots of restaurants in short distance to do some take away including a Shake Shack and a nice little Chinese restaurant.

Rooms were big (for NYC standards) and clean!! Super happy about how clean it was considering I've been at more expensive and fancier hotels in NYC and those hotels were dirtier. The room has 2 beds which is perfect for me and a friend to crash there for the night while spending most of our time exploring the city. One negatives would be that the door to the bathroom is glass and does not close fully so there's zero privacy between me and my friend. You WILL hear each other pooping so be prepared for that. Otherwise, everything else was great! In the lobby they had a ping pong table, a pool table, and a bar too which is cool! Would've actually spent some time there if we weren't in a pandemic.

Pod 39 is a great choice if you are staying for some nights in the city. Great location, close to Grand Central and the Chrysler building. The rooms are cosy and comfortable. Special mention to the hallways that smell heavenly. Thanks Frankie that gave us an upgrade for free. We surely will be back!

Beautiful experience, the heater was a little loud, even another guest asked me if they thought there was a problem with it, but it’s just noisy; I don’t mind it I like noise when I sleep lol. I got the hotel for a great price and within a great area! The lobby is super cute and i would definitely come back.

A friend stayed over at the hotel. The room has all the necessities except for a refrigerator, although it is somewhat too small for people staying multiple nights. For tourists who care more about the location and want something more comfortable than a hostel, I think it could be a viable option.

Much smaller than it seems in the pics. Good location and price for a last minute trip. Very friendly staff.

small but comfortable rooms. Well located. Nice staff and free coffee/water. One of the best sleeps i ever had in an hotel. Stayed there 6 nights and everything was fine

For one person it's great. Clean and calm, which is not true for every hotel in NYC. Tiny but comfortable rooms.

Very well-located hotel, super close to Grand Central Station. The rooms are impeccably clean and the staff is super friendly. Check the bar and the rooftop! I definitely recommend the hotel and will come back on a future trip to NY.

The room was clean and nice but small. We enjoyed our stay. The lounge has a pool table and coffee which we enjoyed.

The place looks amazing. Pods are well equipped and squeaky clean. Staff is hospitable and so nice. And the rooftop bar offers amazing view! stayed there for a week and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended!!

Perfect place for the practical minimalist. I highly enjoyed staying at the POD39. Great service, nice, clean and simple rooms, and in an area close to all the NYC attractions. Since you should be spending your time exploring the city, POD39 really focused on providing quality and practical amenities that matter when staying in a hotel, such as the shower and beds. I absolutely loved the shower in our queen unit and the sleeping experience was quiet and comfortable. I’d recommend POD39 to anyone looking for a premium and practical stay.

Great location, a few blocks from Grand Central Station and a 25 minute walk to Times Square. Our room was compact and cosy, with imaginative storage solutions! The housekeeping team were on top form in looking after the room when we were out! 10/10. The staff on reception were delightful, especially Brian, who gave outstanding customer service. We appreciated the coffee on offer in the morning, as there was nowhere to have breakfast, but there are plenty of places to eat in the area. An enjoyable stay and to be recommended.

Compact Comfort in the Heart of Manhattan - Pod 39 Hotel My recent stay at the Pod 39 Hotel in Manhattan, New York, was a delightful experience, albeit with a few caveats. The location is nothing short of perfect, with many of the city's hotspots within walking distance. This made exploring the city a breeze, and the convenience factor was a significant plus point. The staff at Pod 39 were incredibly helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with any queries or needs. Their service truly enhanced the overall experience of my stay. One of the highlights of the hotel is the rooftop bar, which offers a stunning view of the city. However, its availability was somewhat limited due to external events, which was a bit disappointing. The rooms, while equipped with all the necessary amenities, are quite small. This might be perfectly fine for a solo traveler, but for two people, it felt cramped. The glass partition for the shower and toilet area also posed a privacy issue, which could be a concern for some guests. The lobby area, on the other hand, was spacious and inviting. It offered free coffee and tea in the morning, which was a nice touch. The affordable breakfast options were a welcome addition, and the presence of a pool table, table tennis, and comfortable couches added a fun and relaxed vibe to the space. In conclusion, despite the room size and privacy issues, Pod 39 Hotel offers a unique and enjoyable stay in the heart of Manhattan. Its prime location, friendly staff, and communal amenities make it a good choice for travelers looking for a convenient and budget-friendly option in New York City.

Stayed here for 4 days for business and leisure. Very central Manhattan, you can walk to any popular NYC location within 10-20 mins or hop on the subway at grand central station. Rooms are small but has everything you need to just sleep and refresh. They cleaned the room every night with fresh towels too. We absolutely LOVED the rain shower. I moved hotels and found myself missing the fantastic location and peace and quiet at night! Would stay here again! Just don’t expect an amazing bed 😅

Ive never rented a room at the hotel so this review is for the rooftop which is really nice! The menu is quite limited but the drinks are tasty and the view is nice. I’ve been a couple times and each time the rooftop was mostly empty and th bartender was attentive. I’d recommend!

All amenities closed. We were not notified until we walked in the door with a paper sign. Website says nothing. Room was clean and easy access to everything nearby.
