The hotel staff & the location was great. Our room was clean, but the tv needed to be replaced, the mattress sunk in on one side & the hot water was not hot in the shower & for those reasons I only gave 3 stars. However, we would stay again.

Very average hotel. Stay here if you won’t be in your room at all. You cannot get much sleep as there is noise from the streets all night. No amenities at all. No toiletries, nothing. No one cares to help you, the staff sounds like they are tired of working there.

Just a short, 2-day visit to New York but pod was the perfect location for access to most visitor attractions and for getting around the city. The accommodation has a bit of a hostel vibe, in that both staff and guests are some of the friendliest people I've ever met whilst staying in a hotel. Loads of different nationalities and everybody keen to converse. It had a really great vibe. The staff are on the ball - we requested an extra bed cover for the second evening and house keeping were at our door within minutes. The rooms are compact but offer every basic you really need for a trip where you're not spending much time in your room - bed, shower, TV. - sorted. The views are amazing, too, with most rooms offering exceptional views of the city skyline. It was lovely to leave the blinds open at night and take in the city and lights. The sound proofing is also very good - I've stayed in a few hotels in NY before and the incessant car horn beeping and emergency services sirens wailing throughout the night really do grind on you after a while, but we hardly heard any of them when we were in our room. Recommended.…

Room Tip: Rooms may not be to the liking of those that suffer from claustrophobia. They are quite 'snug'.

First, I do not walk. But, I easily walked from the Port Authority to this hotel with my luggage. So great location near transportation, fast and slow food, stores, Times Square, and Broadway. From the street it did not have a typical hotel front. You enter and go up to the main lobby. It is what it says it is . A minimalist experience. My room was upgraded from Full to Queen. I had to use my key for the elevator. So it was secure. It has the look of something you might see in a James Bond scene. Cool. The room was a decent size. Larger than I’d imagined. I had two small complaints. The room was musty. I Ieft the window open while I took a walk. Also, bring an extension cord. Unless I missed them elsewhere, the outlets were next to the TV.. I wanted to plug in my streaming stick and it would not reach the plug. I was able to stream without issue from my laptop. My big complaint, the one I had ignored in the reviews from others, was the bed. I barely slept and hurt all over the next morning. The bed was so hard and uncomfortable. I am on the older and larger side but, I have never had this much of an issue sleeping. Imagine a hard floor. That’s what it felt like. I booked direct and got the best deal so I was able to cut my trip short and spend the next 5 nights of my trip somewhere else. That being said. I can see how it had such high marks even with the bed complaints. …

This was the second time we stayed at this location in NY. The location is ideal for discovering all corners of NY with the subway stations less than 5 min away while midtown Manhattan is within walking distance. The rooms are small but acceptable for NY. We did not need more room, we were away all day exploring the city so we were only there to sleep. I would definitely come back if we would visit NY again and highly recommend this place to other travelers.

We visited New York during the ceremony at the Rockefeller so start of Christmas. It was good a hotel for the normal price but the price at this time was to high even for New York. On the other hand, it was still cheaper than the most other.. but you also get way less

I stayed with my mom for sightseeing and shopping. The location is busy but perfect for sightseeing. You get really quick to the subway, the times square isn't far away and you got everything around you what you might need (target, restaurant, etc). The room is tiny but clean and the staff is super friendly and helpful :)
