My partner and I just got back from spending two days over Memorial Weekend at the Pod Hotel in NY. Great location, about a ten minute walk from Grand Central. We stayed in a double room which had a private bathroom. The room is tiny. Very tiny. BUT, very clean. It had a big window that opened wide and had... More

Stayed for 2 nights last week and what a nice surprise this hotel was. Yes the room was small but not as cramped as expected ( although I am only 5'3" and my taller husband may not share the same view! ). We had a bunk bed room with shared bathroom. Never had to wait for a bathroom to be... More

This hotel was recommended to me by a friend that had stayed there and it lived up to her glowing reports. My daughter and I had the bunk room and whilst its a little on the small side it still fit us and to be honest we hardly spent anytime in room anyway, The individual TV on each bunk bed... More

A work colleague’s son had a small part in a major Broadway play. So on Mother’s Day weekend four us drove to New York City from Boston on Saturday. A single room with a shared hall bathroom at the Pod Hotel had been booked for me. At mid-morning we arrived in the city. Not expecting that the hotel room would... More

We took a chance and booked this hotel for a last minute overnight stay in manhattan. It's always nerve-wracking to sift through reviews and pick a hotel. The pod was a little gem we were happy to have chosen! We booked a room with a shared bath to save money, but upon check-in we were upgraded to a private bath... More

on our second night I found a HUGE cockroach in my daughter's boot. we were fairly freaked out, screamed, called the front desk where they offered us another room (but who's to say the next room would be safer?), screamed as it crawled out again, then killed it ourselves. yuck! the splat was one-and-half inches wide. since we had a...

When we arrived at the hotel we've been travelling from Vegas for about 24 hours (never getting indirect flights again!!!) We arrived about 8:30am in the hustle and bustle of the city! We were greeted outside the hotel by a friendly man who took out bags to the reception for us, the check-in staff were friendly and the reception area... More

This was my second stay at the Pod and among its many positive elements are its location - it's easy to get to pretty much any part of Manhattan, the customer service ethos among its excellent people and the value you get for your money. However, the place is beginning to look a little tired and would benefit hugely from... More

I stayed twice at this hotel while going for work to NYC. Is the perfect place for a short stay, rooms are extremely tiny so if you are on a pleasure trip perhaps this is not for you. Is in a very good location, is quite clean and you find nice people. The music is great (in the halls and... More

Me and my family have been staying at the Pod Hotel several times. We just love this hotel, it's very good located, metro is close by and rates are excellent. We had different rooms every time, last month we were lucky to get a room with a balcony and beautiful view. Hotel is modern, bathrooms are tiny but has everything.... More
