Hotel Pod 39, New York

Comfortable bed and small accommodations - but room size was expected. Great value in a great location near Grand Central Terminal.

Near to most places you want to go to, and although you could hear noise outside, overall it was peaceful. They also offer luggage storage.

It is a small room, but that is obvious from the description and photos. As a solo traveller it was enough for me, but a big suitcase only just about opens in one space.

Good value for the price. The beds were comfortable and, although the room is small, it’s perfectly adequate for two people. There is daily housekeeping, and they replace the bath towels. It was a good experience, and I would stay here again if I were to return.

The only downside is the heating noise at night - you can hear it from other rooms if they have it on - and the bathroom offers little privacy, with a transparent door and a hole instead of a proper handle, which lets you see inside. If you’re staying with someone you’re not very close to, it can feel a bit intrusive.

Central location

It could have been a bit cleaner

Elevator was loud. People next door were loud.

The cleanliness and the atmosphere

It was small but cute. Had very cozy vibes and is a great location for solo traveling

The bed corners stick out a few inches further than the mattress and with the room being as small as it is, I found myself almost constantly banging my shin in the corner of the bed frame when trying to get around the room

Small rooms, but very clean in great location. Also complimentary access to a gym next door

Location comfortable bed it was very clean

Very tiny room no view at the 6 floor bad lighting dark room

Perfect location within the city, very clean and friendly crew

Very small rooms, almost no space for luggage

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and quiet. Great location - just outside of the very busy tourist areas but easy to get to all the sites. Close to Grand Central which makes accessing public transport easy.

Location was perfect. The room was a perfect size for me. The bathroom was clean and modern. Can’t wait to come back one day.

The location was great, very easy to navigate around the city from the Pod

The This hotel boasts an incredibly convenient location right in the heart of Manhattan. It offers easy access to many of the city's most popular attractions and entertainment venues. You'll find yourself just a short walk away from renowned theaters, world-class dining, and vibrant shopping districts. The proximity to public transportation also makes exploring further afield a breeze. Staying here truly enhances the Manhattan experience.

We found the room for two people to be a bit more compact than anticipated. While it provided the basic necessities, the space felt rather snug for our comfort. It might be suitable for a very brief stay, but for longer durations, we'd likely seek a more expansive option.

Centrally located, room was very clean and practical, breakfast option at the bar, staff was very helpful, helped me for early check in (2 hours earlier but they made everything possible to do it)

Nothing

Top location

It was really in a god central area, the staff was kind and helpful, the room was though smaller than usual, but we knew that and it was sufficient. Bed was convenient.

The glass door of the bathroom is not good, you can see that your partner sittting on the toilet while you’re in the bed. More privacy is required.

Excellent location: easy walk to Grand Central station even wheeling luggage - reason for choosing hotel. Staff pleasant and efficient. Premises + room clean. Basically fine for a busy NYC programme staying out all day + eves.

Its eye-watering price - though on a par with other centrally located mid range hotels. Room basically a small metal box - value for £300 a day questionable. No kettle or fridge but reception will provide cup of hot water on request, ditto iron. Shower is awkward - small with no hand-held option to prevent hair getting wet.

The staff was excellent and welcoming. The room service was excellent. Great location. The bed was comfortable.

The room was small.

Location is good, lobby/bar is decent, affordable.

Very modest rooms.

Location

N/A

The Pod hotel is located in the Murray Hill neighborhood, very close to all the attractions of the city. The rooms are small but very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Great central location and unbeatable price. Clean comfortable functional rooms and very friendly staff. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting NY who needs a base to stay.

The room doors have gaps and let noise in, I could hear people in the corridor yelling and noise from the lift.

The location and the staff was helpful

The noise, you can hear people or If there’s something noise outside you can hear so when you want to sleep it’s not the best

great location, professional and courteous staff, great value, super clean

Room was clean (and cleaned daily). Rooftop bar was huge bonus as the view was amazing. Location was excellent - close to a subway and a lot of shops/bars/restaurants/places of interest. The shower, along with the bed were the room highlights. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

The lamp by the bed didn't work, so you have to turn off the light by the main switch and find your way back to the bed in the dark. Worst part was that the bathroom fan was constantly on, and quite loud. Rooms were pretty small, even with an upgrade.

Amazing rooftop bar

Small rooms

Great location, nice neighbourhood within walking distance of most of the big attractions. Easy to get on the train from Grand Central. Lots of places to eat nearby. The room was comfortable, basic but had everything we needed.

The shower curtain was a bit annoying. Blew inwards sticking to you when the shower was on

Great position and very clean

The room was very small but then it is NY and in the middle of everything

Close to all transport to explore the city, great roof top bar views. Room was a little tight but fine for 2 and luggage. The shower was great.

Nothing to wrong it was as expected.

Roof top

Friendly staff and superb location.

Perfect position. Room small (but apparently for the New York standards still a very good deal).

A pity that I didn't know before of the walking tours organized by the hotel (I could have organized my stay a bit differently).

Convenient location. Room was comfortable despite small size.

Dark lobby. Loud corridors.

The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean, and the location was excellent. I could walk to and from Moynihan Train Hall.

Great location. Excellent service.

Room was tiny. No refrigerator in room.

Location was great.

Room was very, very small.

Great location, reception and rooftop bar.

Rooms were dated and cramped but good for the price in NYC

The lication in Manhattan is perfect

Great location close to Grand Central and UN. The staff was super helpful and friendly.

Not the most comfortable mattress, although that could be due to my personal preference.

Now the hotel has from 7-11am tea and coffee for free. It has a restaurant and the possibility to arrange a transportation to the airport.

Loved this experience! It was my birthday, so I was greeted with a birthday card and they accepted my request for free upgrade, which is highly appreciated ☺️ The location is amazing and near Grand Central, moreover it is always clean and the stuff is lovely and responsive to any ask. And of course the rooftop is with incredible view which is a great bonus ☺️

Location, cleanliness

Havoc humming

The location of the hotel is excellent — just a 5–10 minute walk to Grand Central. I stayed with my sister, and we felt completely comfortable walking back to the hotel at nights. The room was very clean, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Matthew for his assistance. I definitely recommend this place for its great value for money.

Excellent, excellent location and staff. So friendly, always smiling and the cherry on top was the free luggage holding option post check-out. Everything was absolutely wonderful and the perfect place for solo travellers, no matter if for work or holiday. I was so impressed I will definitely come back here next time I visit NYC. :)
