Convenient and comfortable
The Pod was perfect for an overnight stay in NYC to see a Broadway play. Great location, and the hotel is clean and comfortable. Rooms predictably small but with everything you need.

Big Apple Tourist Place to Stay
If you just need a place to rest your feet and sleep, then this place is for you. Our room had a twin over twin bunkbed with plenty of charging ports, reading lights, and a bluetooth-capable TV for each bunk. Rain-drop shower with separated sprayer, shampoo etc included. It was all we needed for our trip to the Big Apple near Times Square.

I’ve stayed at this Pod Hotel twice now and have had a good experience both times. Friendly front desk staff, clean rooms, easy access to the Subway, walking distance to Times Square and the theaters, and lots of restaurants nearby. The rooms are small but have everything you need. Will definitely stay here again.

Perfect base for lots of things. Close to the Port Authority subway and only one stop away from Penn Station. The bunk bed room was great for me and my tween daughter. Only wish there had been coffee in room! But there was a Starbucks around the corner.

This was an amazing location for the price. The room was on the smaller side but we expected that. It was spotless! The staff was super nice. The hotel was quiet. There was never a long wait for the elevators. We will stay here again.

Great budget option near Times Square. Definitely as described - small but comfortable. The opaque wall for the bathroom was strange but not off putting. Staff was efficient and very friendly.

Great location
5 minutes to Times Square. Close to everywhere. You will never go hungry and you will not be stranded on the road. The rooms are very small, there is only 1 bed and a table. If you are coming to New York for a holiday, it is the wrong address. If you say you will come just to sleep like us, it is a great place. We liked it very much because we only came to the room to take a shower and sleep. Moreover, we had a private bathroom.

Everything you need when sightseeing in NYC
Prime location for all those that want to be close to all Manhattan attractions with good links to subway, busses, hop on hop off busses etc.
We were warmly greeted at the check out.
Rooms are cleaned daily. Modern, quiet and comfy for Manhattan standards with all necessary amenities. A lot of dinning options around. It was my son's birthday present and we were upgraded to room with a great view.
I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone that wants to focus on visiting Manhattan.
