"The Pod Delivers!"

A great hotel on the East Side of New York City. Clean and safe. Close access to the subway makes travel easy for everyone. Hotel staff was courteous and helpful.

My 15 year-old daughter and I visited NYC for the first time together in September. We stayed three nights at POD 51 and loved it! We were going to stay in a full with private bath and got upgraded to two fulls (still with our own bath)! The space was well planned with clean, simple decor and the waterfall shower was heaven after walking 10 miles every day.

"So ideal!"

This was the perfect hotel for a few nights in the city! The location is in the heart of manhattan, with a variety of shops, restaurants and cafes nearby (Treehaus on corner of 51st is a good shout). Subway link on 51st street can also be handy. Rooms are small, but you're only there to sleep so no problem with that. Shared bathrooms are clean and there are several on each floor which is handy. Will definitely stay here again if I'm ever back in the city!!

"Fifth time, still a charm!"

This is my fifth time staying at Pod51 in the past year.
I admit I am biased to this hotel, I have said it in an earlier review of Pod51, but this place really is a home away from home.

"Everything you need, nothing that you don't!"

So impressed with this hotel, the boyfriend was slightly skeptical at first staying at a hotel known for its small rooms. By the end he was convinced it was the way to go, we usually spend more than we need to on a big room that we are not even in very often. This was the cleanest, safest option in NYC that we could find on short notice - and we are so glad that we did. Thanks for making our first NYC experience a great one, Pod 51. We loved our room, the staff, and the location! We will be repeat Pod guests!!

"Hidden Gem of NYC"

Great gem on the east side. Very clean, safe area and perfectly spaced room. The bed was REALLY comfortable and to was really quiet at night. Awesome roof deck and wine/burger bar downstairs. Will definitely be back for a visit.
