I needed a place to sleep whilst my apt was being painted. Pod 51 was the perfect pick. I opted for the full pod which has a private bathroom. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. The only thing was the air conditioner - it worked fine but was noisy. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay.

Some of the guest are loud along the corridor. Can’t blame this on the hotel but inconsiderate travelers who just does not know how to shut the hell up. Hotel is affordable for NY city price. Great for short stay.

For a Pod hotel the rooms were small but slightly more space than expected. The rooftop was nice but we were asked to leave around 12:30 at night, we didn’t know there was a cutoff since there were no signs indicating that. Restaurants are nearby and not to far from the subway.

A wonderful hotel to stay in. Everything is in walking distance including food, transportation, and major tourist attractions which include 5TH Ave, Time Square, Central Park, St. Patrick Cathedral, Radio City Music Hall and Rockefella Center. The air conditioning kept me cool. The bed was comfortable and the restrooms and showers were cleaned and I didn’t have any trouble utilizing them when needed. The elevators worked and the hotel staff were amazing. Plus the cost is very affordable and reasonable and, yes, I definitely would stay there again the next time I’m in town.

I was only here one night since I missed my flight! But I had a great stay, the staff was very friendly at check in & the hotel itself is very cool, colorful and great ambiance! I did the shared bathroom one and I honestly didn’t know what to expect - the bathroom is private they have (4) units on the floor and you can open it with your room key, it’s completely private and is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, & body wash. The water pressure was amazing and the bathroom also has a JBL installed which is playing while you shower very subtle but definitely there! I was a bit scared when I saw “shared bathroom” but honestly was the only hotel I found for $100 the night in NYC as a same day booking and very last minute, I’m glad I stayed here! The room also was a bunk bed so my brother and I each got our own bed and the room does have a mini sink in the actual room so you can brush your teeth, face etc and don’t have to go constantly to the bathroom for this. I didn’t have a to make a line at all or even wait to shower etc. like I said I didn’t know what to expect since I’ve never stayed in hotel w no private bathroom! Honestly was great I would stay here again…FYI this is not a hostel rooms are private
