I lived in Manhattan in the 1980s in a tiny studio; my stay at Pod 39 made me feel right back at home. Manhattan is a frenetic place, and it was key to have my own private little spot to return to at the end of the day to be alone and quiet. Little is the word here -- my... More

It's true the room is tiny. But it is clean, functional and relatively quiet. There is a bar downstairs which is quite nice, they serve interesting cocktail. Didn't try the food though. But the nicest thing of the Pod 39 is its rooftop terrace with a gorgeous view on the Empire State Building. Apart that, the hotel is well located,... More

Spent one week in NYC for holiday. Hotel is walking distance from Grand Central so it makes easy to move everywhere in Manhattan. Room was clean but pretty small. Nice lobby services including a cheap and efficient transfer to airport. Amazing terrace bar with landscape on Manhattan. Nice bar and restaurant at ground floor. Not really cheap but in line...

Stayed a week in May 2013 the room had two bunk beds with individual television screens, the rooms were clean BUT very cramped for more than one person, the hotel had a bar on the roof which had great views. Location was good short walk to Central Station, plenty of food establishments within short walk, laundry was only a short... More

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Pod 39, the hotel is in a great location for visiting many of the must see sights. Hotel was very clean and good value for money. Sadly a number of niggly issues, no long mirror or mirror outside of the bathroom. The air conditioning system was noisy. Some staff were... More

Stayed in a double pod for three nights and loved the room. Everything is clean, modern and well designed for the small space.

The review would be a 5/5 however I didn't much like the shower because of the ceiling mounted shower-head and... More

I have stayed in pod 39 hotel and I've found amazing being close to the Empire State and Chrysler buildings and many other attraction of New York. It is on 39th street. Fabulos. Wonderful price, good bad room and bathroom.

Compare to other hostels, Pod 39 has realy cozy rooms, everything is clean, bathroom is in the room and everything for almost same price as other hostels in Manhattan. One negative is little bit noisy ventilation in bath room, but it's not so terrible. I recommend Pod 39.
