Convenient, small rooms, good location. We often choose the Pod when in Manhattan. It is a little tired and worn from our last stay but it has that comfortable 'shoes' feeling. The staff is helpful and responsive.

The price and location of Pod 51 are absolutely unbeatable. We used to live in NYC and we have never heard of such a great location for this price. Even our friends who live in the city said "You're staying WHERE for that price?!" Its just a few blocks walk from 5th Avenue which drops you right in the heart... More

Loved this hotel! Was very clean and really enjoyed my stay here! Loved the power showers! Only annoyance was that I would have liked to have stayed even closer to time square however it was still in walking distance to time square (15 mins). Overall great stay and great hotel! Would stay again!

I stayed here with my brother for 1 night after we were able to spend a couple of nights at a friend's apartment.

In the same trip I also stayed at Pod 39, which had my preference (slightly more modern). That being said, Pod 51 was also very great. Friendly personnel, clean rooms, welcoming atmosphere. Do not forget to check out the roof terrace.

I LOVED my stay at the Pod. I had done my research, so the shared baths didn't surprise me. But honestly, it wasn't a huge deal at all. I never had to wait. The bathrooms were immaculate and showers were awesome. The room (a single pod) was actually bigger than I thought it would be. Plenty of space to move... More

Stayed here for 9 nights. Rooms a bit small but ok. Front clerks uptight, not friendly at all. Good cleaning, fresh bathrooms and close to subway at 53 and 3rd. Can rekommend for any one that rather spend money on shopping than hotel.

Clean, cheap and small. Even cheaper if you share a bathroom. And if you pay extra for a hotel room with a bath, you will find the airplane you flew in on has a bigger bathroom. Stay here, but do not hang out here. As a final bonus: the wireless internet and walking tours of NYC are free.
