Hotel Pod 39, New York

Clean, friendly staff, free coffee every morning, good location

Very central for sight seeing

Bunk bed room was slightly too small

Amazing midtown location. Easy walk to many famous sights in Manhattan. Very clean rooms and bathrooms and a lovely rooftop bar with views. Very comfortable bed. Free daily gym pass was an added bonus!

Rooms very small but I think that’s in the name of the hotel so you know what to expect.

Great location, near grand central station and Times Square. Would stay again but opt for a bigger room. We had a great view from our room. The cleaner everyday was very good. The staff were nice. The bar area was good. Place was surprisingly quiet

Very small rooms, creeky beds, not very comfortable climbing up the top bunk every night especially for the price but it’s in the centre of nyc so difficult to find somewhere so clean but that cheap

Location

Too small

The location it`s great, near One Vanderbilt towe.

Small room with glass between bedroom and toilet....

Clean and cozy

Nothing comes to mind.

Great location, very clean room, small room, but it is nyc after all.

Great location. Cheap. Convenient. Great coffee

Small but understandable. Bed was pretty good but a bit harder than I like.

Good location

Some parts of the room needed a clean

Room is tiny as expected and that is understatement ! but you have everything you need there. You get complimentary coffee or tea for breakfast at the restaurant. There is a bar at the top floor with stunning view of the city... the best part of the hotel obviously is the location ! The location is superb !

I’ve been staying here for the past 4-5 visits to NYC for the US Open. It is a very comfortable basic hotel which is perfect for a fuss-free busy holiday and the location is just perfect for everything you need.

Not much.

The staff were great, the beds were so cosy and the location was good, just a short walk away from Grand Central Station. There's also a modest breakfast option available onsite. This was exactly what we needed it to be considering we just used the room for sleep.

There is no privacy with regards the bathroom as there's just a barely frosted transparent glass door separating you from the bedroom. If you're travelling with friends or family and you want privacy, you're not going to get it. Why not just frost the whole door?

Great location, lovely rooftop bar, excellent value, clean (tiny) room. A short walk to Grand Central Station and a very reasonable stroll to the theater district and other Midtown destinations.

Not much privacy when using the bathroom, which is behind a frosted, sliding glass door. The bunk beds were perfect for our father/daughter trip. But there were times when one of us had to leave the room when the other used the bathroom.

Great location, close to many of the main attractions in NYC. Friendly staff and well maintained facilities. Shower water pressure was amazing. Great view from the rooftop bar area. Fast elevators to get you there.

Like most of NYC, a little old even though it's well maintained. Rooms are extremely small, the Queen room barely fits two people and there is no room to get your luggage out. The table and chair in the room is so cramped that it would be better to not have them.

The staff was truly so lovely and accommodating. The room was a great size and the facilities were really great. 10 minutes from the main Grand Central station so very easy to get around. Great attractions like Chrysler building, NY Public Library and Times Square nearby.

Great location and easily access to public transportation.

A bit cramped.

The price and the location

Loud machine noise in my room. Very small space for 2 people

Staff were really friendly and the location next to grand central station was great. Loved the free coffee and tea in the morning.

Excellent location

It is close to city center. Rooms are small but fit for the purpose: to sleep. Also very clean, each day I’ve got fresh towels. It is also very quiet, which I like a lot.

Very small rooms, but actually it was like in the presentation.

The location was very convenient and close to Grand Central Station. We were able to travel via public transport from JFK to the hotel relatively easily.

I really liked it! I really like the coffee in the morning and the rooftop terrace. It was sometimes a little noisy in the hallway, but I had my earbuds in so didn’t hear it too much.

The location was excellent and the room was good for one person.

The blinking of the firealarm was a bit annoying and the room was pretty dark.

The hotel has a great location, it is close to the Grand Terminal Station and it is at a walkable distance from Times Square, Bryant Park, The Rockefeller Center, among others. It's close to plenty of restaurants as well. Everything in the room was thoroughly cleaned when we needed.

The room was a bit smaller than I had anticipated, the shower was quite small but manageable. I also wished there was more space to keep our belongings - the room had a drawer under the bed to store luggage, a small clothes rail and a small table. It was a bit hard to store all our belongings and the stuff we bought during the trip.

The room is smaller than what it looks in the photos.

Location

Very small room

Great location and overall confort

The bathroom can't be used as it does not have a fan or a closing door

Very good price for the location. Although breakfast was not included, eating at the bar was cheaper than going out.

Bedroom too small for two inhabitants. We barely had room to be standing at the same time.

The location was amazing! Short walk to my favorite restaurant KJun, and Grand Central. It's a great place for the price for solo travelers who won't be in the room much. The staff was really nice as well.

The room was loud! The phone beeped for no reason, the AC was like a train and you could hear your neighbors at all times. Also, the fire alarm above the bed flashed constantly! Sensory overload for sure.

overall the hotel is really nice and location is absolutely perfect

the rooms are very small for 2 people and frosted shower was an uncomfortable find for us as we are traveling as friends, so we had to step out to the lobby every time we wanted to shower

The staff was helpful, location

Rooms are tiny

The room had all the basics and was comfortable. The dining options in the hotel were great.

I would have appreciated kettle facilities (tea/coffee/water) and more space

The location and price are worth it. The rooms are exactly as advertised on the website.

the only thing that I would ask you to look into is to change those maneater curtains in the shower. The shower is great (hot and cold water with good space) but that plastic curtain is a killer

Location. Service.

Constant noise from probably AC outside. I know it's New York,but the sound isolation from the street is not great:(

Consistent with previous visits on cleanliness and good staff, great location

Pricing

Perfect location near Grand Central station.

No view from room windows and glass wall between the shower and the main room.

The location it is perfect, near by Grand Central Station

The AC, second time I stayed here and the AC is too uncomfortable for the size of the room. Either its too cold or too hot.

Location, beautiful rooftop terrace, very clean rooms

Very nice hotel with tiny but comfortable room. Amazing rooftop terrasse and excellent location downtown.

Sometimes a bit noisy due to the ventilation exhaust from the next building.

Location is the best for my business

The room was very clean, with a very comfortable bed and the place is perfectly located within walking distance to the UN headquarters and shopping sites.

Location

Bigger rooms

The smell in the hotel was amazing and the restaurant

The shower was a problem because every time we took a shower, the water from the shower overflowed all over the bathroom.

Excellent location. People super friendly.

The air conditioner is very loud.

we loved the localization, the bar, the lobby and people

The Beds were to small, the space of the room, to minimal and the mattress not good enough

The room was really clean and the beds and pillows were super comfy. Birlliant to have air con as the temp outside was boiling the whole week. Out issue is i tried booking a Pod39 that didn't have bunk beds, as myself or my colleague really didn't want to climb the ladder every night and during the night for the toilet. Apart from that, it was perfect! Loved the roof top bar and place to chill!!!

The bunk beds, I'm too old for bunk beds now

Clean place, friendly staff, good location

Awkward getting in and out of bed. Mattresses require changing for new ones.

The room is tiny, but it’s got everything you need if you’re planning on mainly using it for sleeping. The bathroom is decently sized, you have your bed, a small desk and a chair, as well as some hangers and a security locker. The location is fab; you’re close to pretty much everything central, while still being in a quieter location. I loved my walks back from Broadway in the evenings.

I think my only complaint is that the shower only has an overhead shower head, which is also quite high up, so it’s quite difficult to make sure you get everything while you shower.

Staff was unbelievably helpful Location perfect for getting anywhere Tiny room so well laid out I didn't feel squished

Beautiful building in central location. Functional modern room. Good enough for a short stay.

As expected, the room size was tiny. It's taken a whole month for the deposit to be refunded!
