Hotel Pod 39, New York

great location! staff were helpful and friendly.

the half frosted glass in bathroom, room is very compact.

Location, location, location.

As expected, the room was very small. The room was very small but for a solo traveler it was suitable. Charging points are not very conveniently placed.

Perfect for traveling alone, good location

It was very nice! The staff was friendly and helpfull and the room was very clean - shout out to the cleaning staff. The location is simply great, right in the center near Central Station.

The bathroom needs a toilet brush, for obvious reasons…

Great Housekeeping

Great location, clean bathroom. Staff very helpful and responsive to concerns.

Rooms quite small, some small stains on bedsheets.

Great location, less than 10 minutes walk from Grand Central station. The room had everything needed for a stay, safe, hanging and drawer space, very comfortable room and shower was fab! And it didn’t feel small. Everything was clean. As a solo traveller felt reassured there was someone on reception whenever needed it and it was a friendly atmosphere. Free tea and coffees in the morning was very nice.

Only thing I’d say is bring ear plugs for the heating/air con system. It can be loud at times but the heating was needed.

Brilliant location, 5 minute walk from times square. Good facilities, free tea and coffee in the morning, bar, free gym entry and a gym round the corner, walking tours.

Very small rooms which was to be expected. The bathroom door is a clear sliding door and doesn't close so no privacy really

Very efficient and reliable service, excellent and friendly staff, daily cleaning of the room, room has everything a solo traveller needs, excellent strong and hot shower, a good and comfy bed. Excellent value for money for central Manhattan and a very convenient location!

The double room space is quite small that not easy to have a large suitcase; also depending on the room and other guests nearby, you can sometimes hear noises from the corridor or from the street. But overall, it wasn't too loud most of the time.

Location great

Heating unit loud! Could feel cold air coming through the windows.

Great location. Clean, new towels, cleaning every day.

One problem: in both rooms that I was offered, there was noise from some generator.

i liked the smell of the establishment, very refreshing. i also liked the option for breakfast.

i didn’t like that they said the rooftop deck was accessible, and it was not. that was one of the reasons i booked and was very disappointed. not sure why they had the doors locked to it.

Good value for money! All clean, nice shower. Good distance to times square.

Could be a little more spacious.

The rooms are cleaned and well maintained. They are contemporary with a no frills sort of feel. They are exactly as advertised. Very small and really only meant for some place to sleep as you go about and explore the city. The staff are all very friendly. Never any concerns. I've stayed in two separate pod hotels and both experiences were very positive. It was also fantastic. The price I paid $79.99 plus taxes.

I wouldn't say it's a didn't like, it would have been nice to have a small fridge. That was it. No other real concerns

Mattress

To small

Team was super gentle. Infra was pretty good. Cleanliness was on point. I loved the bathrooms in the lower floor, considering rooms are tiny with no privacy between the two people staying there. It was super helpful! My check in experience was great - the team was patience and friendly. Check out experience was fast and on point.

The bed was pretty bad. I kept waking up every night in discomfort. The fact that bathrooms have transparent walls is very discomfortable. I don't know if this follows a local law, but there should be a different solution for that.

Cleanliness and convince

Small bed

Good location - close to many places walking, and to subway or bus. Close to shop, to bar with bagles (for breakfast). Helpfull and nice staff. 3 fast elevators. Hot water of tea or coffe in the morning (7-11 am). Free tour with guide in not obvious places in NYC.

What was surprising and not in my standard - glass door with only central belt of smoke to restroom / bathroom, what forced us to leave room for time when other of us used this very helpfull places :) But in basement hotel predicted 4 additional restrooms, what was a kind of solvation in this situation.

The place.

I liked it.

Tea and coffee in room

Closeness to United Nations Headquarters and UN Women HQs. These were the two meeting venues For the price of the room, the accommodation was satisfactory.

The staff were very friendly. Coffee in the morning and a restaurant/ bar in one building was very convenient.

The central location was perfect and the rooms suit tourists just right

The location and the stuff.

The room was extremely small, like in the Netherlands. There was no closet, and the place for the suitcase was not big enough for mine. This, of course, cannot be changed, and personally, it did not destroy my stay, but for someone for whom space is crucial - this is a huge problem.

Quick elevators, stable housekeeping schedule, open terrace on the top floor.

I Stayed in an individual bedroom with bathroom and can't expect better value for money in NY. Location is excelent. Hotel facilities and services are really good, including free guided walking tours.

Cafe could offer more options.

We share a comfortable room for the price and purpose (being a small room). That would sound weird but all the building smells nice! They kept the vintage structure but everything looks fresh and clean. Also, I couldn't hear anything from the street as it was everything super quiet (except for the elevator sound, which was ok and normal). Love the time there, and the location is a MUST.

Despite the shower curtains were a bit shorter making the bathroom floor wet, I could use more than one available towels to dry it.

Great location, very clean rooms, helpful staff

The heating was rather noisy when it came on

Its location and cleanliness.

They offered tea and coffee during the breakfast hours, but if they offered it all day I think that it would be great and it would not be such an expense for the company.

comfortable bed, friendly staff, nice water pressure in shower, friendly text messages ;)

I could not figure out how to just turn on the lamp on the side of the bed. I found the little knob on it, but I could not operate it independently from the room lights. It would be helpful to just be able to turn the side light on, without having to get out of bed.

Very convenient location and great price for biz traveler.

Ugh. I was offered an upgrade - 2 beds! Sure I'll take it, but turned out it was a bunk bed, which for one person, basically took up all the head room in the unit.

The room was comfortable for one person with not a lot of luggage. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. The shower room was small but adequate. It’s what you would expect from a Pod Hotel. The location was close to Grand Central which is what I wanted. The staff were helpful and the communication from the hotel was excellent. I noticed that they also had free walking tours which is a nice plus for travellers.

I had no issues with the hotel.

The location is ideal and near my office. Breakfast should be included with the hotel, at least simple snacks.

Room

Chilly, and no extra bedding to layer

The accommodation was perfect for me. Walking distance from main streets/attractions. The single room is a bit small if you have big luggage but otherwise I didn’t have any problem. Supermarkets/coffee shops near by. The staff was very nice and helpful. I could check in earlier as my room was ready when I arrived.

clean room

not free internet 24 hours a day + not great speed. small room

After more than one month and a half we still didn't get the 200 dollars deposit back. (100 dollars every room)

I liked the staff, they were very pleasant! It was nice to be staying in the center of everything, and I thought it was awesome that they offered guided tours for guests!

The only thing I could possibly complain about was that the AC fan was REALLY loud when it was on and would keep us up at night, so my boyfriend and I would honestly turn off the heating at night so we could actually get some sleep.

Simple and clean hotel, with small but practical rooms. Nice and helpful staff. The beds are comfy.

Besides rooms being quite small, the main discomfort is the heating system (which is via A/C), getting a good night sleep might be a challenge for someone - as its pretty loud.

My room was right off the elevator so it was loud at all times. Barely slept.

Near Grand Central Station Comfortable mattress The rooftop very nice for pictures

Good location and price

Air conditioner is loud

The location is amazing, especially for the price. It’s close to the Grand Central Station so you don’t have to drag your luggage far to reach your accommodation. The staff was very sweet and hotel is very peaceful. Traveling as a students on a budget, this was amazing, we felt very safe.

Position, clean, friendly staff.

Very small rooms and expensive.

The staff at the check in were nice and willing to help, the bed was very comfortable and our room had great ventilation. They have a very nice area at the entrance to chill out in the morning with a coffee. Location was also great

The room was very small but functional

Very good location. I’ve stayed here several times before. Nice staff. The jitney bus to the Hamptons is a very close walk near the hotel.

Very clean, very good location, people there were very nice.

Location location location Clean clean clean

Was expecting to go up to the roof top but the guy said it was closed just disappointed… You guy should provide a hot water station or even a free water to drink - had stomach ache that evening can’t even find something to feel at home in your place … HI HOSTELS does that since they have full functional kitchen being provided to their guests it’s just that they don’t have the location like yours

Fantastic Mid town location. About a 25 or so minute walk from the train station. I found the staff very friendly during the stay and when the lights didn't work in the bathroom they were quick enough to send someone to fix it. Decent lounge and friendly service in the adjacent restaurant. It is very hard to find a two bed property at an affordable price in Manhattan that was a bit "cool". This fit the bill. While the room is very small it suited what we needed for a weekend.

The lack of privacy in the bathroom. Semi frosted glass panel is all that separates the bathroom from the bedroom. Traveling with my 16 year old daughter I found myself leaving the room to give her a bit of privacy when she was going to the bathroom or changing. The room was pretty tiny but sufficient for our needs. The size of the room and the bathroom are the only reason it's a a "9" and not a "10".

It was very clean and had all the necessities

The fact that the bathroom wasn’t too private, if my boyfriend was walking around the room he’d easily see me sitting on the toilet

Small but safe and a comfortable. They changed sheets every day and towel, overall everything accessible and easy to get to.
