I don’t like the smell in the room.

The terrace is very good.

No fridge in the room or common floor. Space is very small but that is expected from the price.

The location was perfect, and the price was fair for being in Manhattan. They did a great job cleaning the room everyday. Staff was very nice and checking in our bags for the day was easy. Bar beside it was very fun.

Things that can be improved 1) i wish there were more hooks or ledges to keep your stuff in the bathroom 2) vacuum cleaning under the beds, i found used socks

1) Clean rooms and even the shared bathrooms 2) Perfect location - close to restaurants, fast foods, 20 min walk to times square 3) Nice rooftop and coffee shop 4) Fast wifi and comfortable beddings

We had an A/C in room, but it was too loud to use. Also, if you have an issue with claustrophobia, you probably wouldn’t like the toilet and shower. They’re clean and good, but super tiny. There are no space at all to change clothes, for example.

Smart space usage! Even in a room with shared bathroom you will have a sink and mirror. Very convenient. We also really like the hotel bar - a lot of options, cheap, table games available! Atmosphere of the place was great! They also will take care of your baggage after check out for free if you want to investigate city before your flight.

Air conditioners deserve maintenance. The carpets are not good for allergic customers. Rooms can be quite noise during the night because of streets noise or due to the doors being slammed by other customers.

Manhattan is an expensive city, but considering the level and location of The Pod 51 Hotel, the cost x benefit is worth it. The location is amazing. The rooms are clean. Comfortable beds. The roof-top is awesome. Very good (free) guided tours.

The small coffee stand in the lobby is horrible, makes the worst coffee, stale croissants, expensive and unfriendly girl. it would be so nice if they had a proper coffee shop!

Good location, price is better than most hotels in the area. room is arranged very efficiently (I got the largest room they have). daily cleaning service.

Noise - to be fair we didn’t hear any noise from the street, but the aircon unit kept us up at night a few times because it was so loud! Fridge - we would have appreciated having a fridge, this was an issue for us because we stayed when it was HOT! We kept having to run around the corner to the shop to buy cold beverages

Location - amazing! Walking distance to most things, and if you’re not too keen on a walk, there’s a few subway stations close by Cleanliness - we got a room with shared bathrooms, and they were very clean at all times! Shared bathrooms - we had no issues with having to wait to use the bathrooms. There was only one situation where one of the showers didn’t have hot water, but it was quite easy to run down to the other one on the floor! Rooftop bar - nice place to chill and rest from the busy city

Bathrooms could use some work. Fans didn’t work and water temperature handle didn’t work in some. If staying near the rooftop, it’s very noisy with the door slamming all night long. Rooftop is supposed to close at 10. At 11:30 I complained to front desk. Issue was never resolved. Had to ask for a room change the next day.

The location. Staff was very accommodating when I had to ask for a room change.

The bathrooms are shared but the cleaning team is very active, it depends when do you get in but generally is clean, just a bit wet. (Shower and toilet are together in one room that you can lock).

Location is just perfect and the terrace with the view is definitely a plus. The single room was small but considering where you are you can consider it as very comfortable (I travel alone).

some of the bathrooms were a little old

the location was amazing and the rooftop was lovely

I guess there is nothing which can be done above the size of the rooms but if there were a little bit bigger it was going to be better. Otherwise it was okay.

The place was smart, with bed sheets being changed daily and on time. The location was convenient as I could walk to my work place without the need to hire a taxi. I do not mind coming there again in future.

Great location, nice patio. Room was small however clean and comfortable.

As I mentioned in my previous comment, I’ve stayed at this hotel many times. I’m usually very happy, but this time, the front desk attendant, a younger man, who checked me in, was very cold, and couldn’t even a muster, a smile, or a welcome. I also noticed that the hallways and restrooms were not as clean and seem to be falling into slight disrepair. I’ve been loyally booking a room at this hotel for my work visits to New York City, ever since the Covid lockdown ended. It’s always been really nice, but I noticed upon this visit that the lighting was less deluxe (they used to have cool lighting in the bathrooms, which are shared, but that’s gone), the hallways seemed a little less new than they’ve seemed. Obviously things age, but I can’t help thinking that a little bit of hardware, maintenance, occasionally, might make things nicer. I think the cleaning staff is really top-notch, they work very hard, and they are always friendly, but you can’t clean the broken handle of a shower, or rust, or dingy paint. They can only do so much. The management needs to give the place a touch up.

I’ve stayed at the pod 51 many times, and I love the location, and the fact that it’s quiet.

Carpets are old and bit smelly but overall we loved everything!

Location was Perfect! Beautiful park and waterfall across the road where you can have take away food. Lots of eateries close to POD. Price was very good for Manhattan.

Safe deposit box was quite small, no hot water kettle, breakfast not included.

Spacious room, location was not bad

Noisy with poor window isolation, AC that turns on/off, people in hallway making noises at night to use shared bathrooms

Centrally located. Super nice staff

We noted a musty smell to the room. Also the glass wall of the shower could have been covered while the toilet area was covered .

Staff was very helpful!

No fridge and no electric kettle.

The rooftop, the location, not far from main places. The cleaness of the room. The comfort of the bad. No noise in the room coming from outside.

The pod is really small. I couldn't find a microwave to heat my dinner. The staff is polite but the did not explain to me the common areas of the hotel. During my stay the lightbulb of the roof was flickering which was kind of of annoying

Location is great, it's in the main area of Manhattan. You can walk almost everywhere although you are like 20 blocks from central park (25 minutes walking). There are good restaurant around, also the area is pretty safe at night. Wi-Fi is good.

It’s in the name with Pod, it’s small and there isn’t much room to move around. The price was more expensive and I thought we were getting something a little bigger than what we did.

It was clean and comfortable.

my mistake not booking a room with my own bathroom

room and bed

Stayed in June 2024

The bed was a little bit short for my height.

The location is perfect. Subway is nearby and a lot of tourist attractions are reachable by foot. The rooftop has beautiful sights.
