I come to NYC a couple times a year mainly to eat, see friends, go to the MoMA or catch a show. I can honestly say that as often as I have come to this town, I have ZERO hotel loyalty – I have literally bounced around, trying out different places to see if ANYTHING sticks. I mean, in this... More

We've just returned from a 5 night stay at Pod 39. The hotel has a very hip & trendy feel to it and it's perfectly positioned to explore the sights of NYC. Grand Central Station is less than 5 min walk away, Empire States is around 10 mins & Times Square is around 15 mins away. We preferred the bars... More

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

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...

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. Location is excellent and there are cheap breakfast options around the corner at places like bagel express. The review would be a 5/5 however I didn't much like the shower because of the ceiling mounted shower-head and... More
