Expert reviews
“Rooms at the Murray Hill location all feature private bathrooms, along with free Wi-Fi and an emphasis on communal space typified by the Pod 39’s rooftop lounge. The hotel’s perks are few but if you want hip and affordable, you won’t likely do better.”

Excellent location but too much money for deposit
I liked the silence in the rooms and the hotel staff at reception was very helpful when they charged me an amount that I didn't understand. Also,the area where the hotel is located is very quiet and safe.
I didn't like the fact that I was overcharged more than I expected regarding the deposit that you have to pay in advance. When you book this hotel, booking doesn't warn you that it's $30 per night and $90 for reserving the room in advance. The whole amount that I was held by the hotel rose to 240+90 so I paid 1,170 as soon as I checked in. Three days after checking out they refunded the 240$ and on March 20th the other 90$.

Cozy and clean. Good value for NYC. Great location. Kind staff.
Good location, close to Grand Central for the trains and subway. Clean, welcoming staff, small (which is in the name!) but well thought out. Great shower! Daily towel service, a safe, and a place to hang things. Luggage storage.

Easy check in/out. The lobby was warm and had a place to grab a drink.The room was clean and had the amenities that I required. It was located very close to where I needed to be early the next day. Great location.

Would return again to this hotel.
Compact roomn with everything I needed, including feeling cozy.
Some of the guests were loud at very early times in the morning, but that's not the hotel's fault.

Great for solo travelers
The hotels’ location is perfect. It is located in the middle of manhattan where you can walk to anywhere around. It is also a few minutes away from the grand central station. Which is a very good. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Perfect stay for a solo traveler, might be too compact for a couple.
very nice hotel for toursits looking for a place to just sleep and travel throughout the entire day. The rooms are compact and contain exactly what you need as a solo traveler. Would highly recommend. The neightborhood is quiest and pretty safe, around 8 min walk from a subway station. The rooms are clean and offer cleaning each day if you put a sticker on your door.
The hallways are very compact and everything is designed with the color grey, so it makes a weird and not fun vibe.

Stay was very enjoyable, Pod in great location for enjoying New York. Great staff.
The staff were so helpful. They were very approachable and helped with directions, taxi services etc. Couldn’t thank them enough. The rooms are compact but very clean. Rooms were cleaned daily. Morning coffee was much appreciated.
Couldn’t fault the property.

The staff is friendly and I liked the bar (plenty of space).
Rooms are really small. You can barely move if there are two people with luggage. I also did lot like the fact that there is only a glass dividing the "room" and the bathroom (somebody on the top bunk bed can see inside the bathroom).

While booking the hotel on Booking.com I had selected room with a bunk bed. However, I was not given the room I saw on the website. Nonetheless the room allocated was good and satisfactory.
