 "Great location with acceptable living conditions"
We stayed in the Pod 51 for two nights and with being on 51st street it was right in the middle of everything. Minutes away from the Rockefeller centre, radio city music hall, fifth avenue and Central Park ! Amazing location with many cute delis nearby! I would stay again, however very small rooms ( at least the bunk bed room)

 "Good quality for money, great location"
We had the bunk bedroom, very comfy beds and pillows. The room was last in the corridor so we had little noise during the night, still I would suggest hear buds for light sleeps. It was small but functional and although we were 2 girls on a shopping spree, we found that we could manage the space with our bags. The system of shared bathroom worked fine. At time it was busy but usually not more than 10 minutes wait and you can also try the other floors. The wifi was not really working in the room unfortunately, and although there are 2 lifts, I found that we had to wait often to get one whatever time of the day it was. The hotel organizes taxis to the airport at preferred rates. Hotel to JFK was 55 dollars including tax but excluding tip. Tipping is usually around 15%

 "Great price"
This hotel was located near the metro, great mony saver and very clean but you get what you pay for. No AC, so for summer but a good option, also very laud hallways. By 3 AM some guest are just getting back from a night out, was very laud that went right trough my walls of my room and I spelt maybe 3-4 hrs total that night, so bring ear'plugs. Same in the morning, if you are thinking to sleep in that morning, not a chance, you will hear the house keepers vacuuming and cleaning from your room. Over all is practical and clean. Very small rooms so I would say a place affordable where to crash at night and be near public transportation.

 "great hotel but added taxes at checkout"
Fantastic location. Bunk rooms small but we hardly spent time in the room. Not made clear would be sharing bathroom but never saw anyone else but we did hear the shower running (quite loud). Towels were barely big enough but were provided clean each day. Downside was checking out. Although tax was added at final stage of booking there were two additional taxes applied at checkout which bumped the price up $100. Overall clean, safe, convenient hotel and would stay again.

 "Good Choice"
Stayed for a week on my own (April 2013) - great location, good price, rooms cleaned daily, no probs with noisy guests & staff ok. Used a shared bathroom but no problems with cleanliness/being able to use it at the times I wanted and so on It is near to the subway and there is a good choice of cheapish restaurants/bars etc in the vacinity. Would stay there again.

 "nice hotel in the centre of Manhattan"
We stayed in a bunk pod. Room is small but everything you need is present. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers are excellent. We never had to wait, there was always one available. The staf is friendly and ready to answer your questions.

 "Sleeing"
The central heating system made terrible noises almost like every hour, so difficult to sleep.It also made the rooms too warm for sleeping, s youhad to open the wndow, causing the central heating system too make more noise. and cracking sounds.

 "Exactly what we Expected"
We were looking for cheap and convenient, but nicer than a hostel. Pod 51 had our room ready 3 hours before check in, the maids were ALWAYS cleaning and the room is exactly what we expected. A+ for traveling on a budget.

 "Small room without a door between the wc and the room"
I'm absolutely disappointed about the room at the Pod 51: the room was extremely small, so narrow that a double bed doesn't fit in it and so the bed is smaller than normal. Moreover, I paid for a room with bathroom inside and I received a room with only a wc with no door separeting it from the rest of the room.The cost of the door doesn't worth it. I do not suggest it.

 "Nice, clean well located hotel"
Stayed at this nice, not-to-expensive hotel. It was clean, well maintained and chic looking. Only "negative" thing was that the beds were fairly small. Good location, only about 2 blocks to the 6 train.

 "Not bad.."
Not bad.. but too small room and little noise. But as you know, New York hotel fee is a little bit expensive.. And during night, I heard strange noise from out side. I don't know what it is. But sometimes I heard it..

 "Excellent price for the location and quality"
Facilities were of excellent quality, staff helpful and everything was always very clean. Only downfall was that there was no bar fridge in the room or communal kitchen anywhere in the hotel. I thought this was a little strange as it seemed as though the hotel was marketed as an upscale hostel/budget hotel (although the room quality is much better than those titles suggest). Thankfully it wasn't a big deal for us as we had budgeted to eat out a lot. I would stay there again if I was heading to the area.

 "Perfect loaction, a room with a bed"
This hotel was great to stay in, I was expecting the rooms to be small so I was not disappointed when I arrived and there was a bunk bed, and desk, with a small wardrobe space and a little sink/mirror area. Loved it. The hotel was clean and the staff are friendly, free wi-fi so we could upload our pictures every evening without worries. I have marked lower for sleep quality as the walls seemed to be very thin and you could hear people in the corridors, either we were on a floor with lots of rowdy people, or my first suggestion was correct. I would definitely stay here again and suggest friends to stay too

 "4 days in the pod 51"
I was 4 days on NYC few days ago and never regret my choice about pod 51.Service was friendly and the hotel is pretty well located close the subway (line 4,5,6)Fifth avenue and Broadway are about 10 mn by walk .I recommend this hotel and especially room including bathroom and restroom.

 "Central location"
I stayed at the Pod for 9 days during Hurricane Sandy. The lobby cafe was most useful when many cafes in New York were closed..Prices in the cafe were reduced by 50% during the storm as a goodwill gesture. Room service was reduced but even continued during the height of the storm when staff were unable to travel due to public transport closures. Reception staff were always helpful during a testing time with people trapped in New york due to airpotr closures.Concierge very helpful. Close to supermarket and numerous cafes in 2nd Avenue.Good compact but well-designed small rooms for single occupants. Cost was very competitive..Lifts sometimes slow..Would recommend for solo travellers wanting lower-cost accommodation within walking distance of many attractions.

 "Well priced, situated and appointed hotel in New York"
I stayed at the Pod hotel for just over a week whilst on business, being my first visit to New York, I relied on on-line reviews to assist in my hotel selections.I certainly was not disappointed with the Pod Hotel.It was located conveniently in Manhattan, and near the subway.The rooms although small, were comfortable and had all the necessary appointments (expect for a fridge, I stayed in single room with bathroom). The free WiFi was fully functional and effective.The staff were friendly and helpful, the roof top deck and ground floor eating area were very nice.I certainly recommend the Pod hotel.
