Pod 39

No much amenities. Good price compared to other available hotels around the same area.

Location, bar downstairs, rooftop Rooftop closes At 22:00. Toilet too close to bed.

Very clean and budget friendly for solo travellers or those not planning to spend much time in a hotel beyond sleeping. No frills, but no problems!

The staff was really helpful, the overall service and assistance was excellent. The room was not very spacious but it was very clean and ideal for our stay.

Staff were lovely from the reception to housekeeping to bar staff etc. Super friendly and helpful. The bed was also very comfortable, I didn't get any of the street noise, and the rooftop. Location is also great for exploring the City, right by the subway, walking distance to some great bars and restaurants and a safe area to walk around in at night for Manhattan. The rooftop bar is also really nice to have a coffee in in the nmorning and take in the skyline or for an evening drink before heading out. Showers were a bit outdated but really not an issue.

Small room

Excellent location but warning for those booking a room with a bunk bed: the bathroom has a frosted glass wall which can cause privacy concern and the metal bunk bed is noisy when either person stirs. Also the rooftop bar did not have a tv so we watched the knicks finals game from the pair of tiny tvs inside our bunks.

Hotel staff were so kind and friendly, the location is convenient. I don’t have any problems at all.

excellent staff price too hight

Clean , Ryan at the bar was exceptional , Secure ( need your room card to enter building at night and to access elevator Some staff in phone / front desk were snippy . I’m from NYC born and raised and can deal with an attitude but, it was sometimes served where it wasn’t needed ! I avoided the front desk from then on .

Good price, nice room, helpful staff

Great vibe. Perfect for a stay in NY. Clean, compact room. Friendly staff and centrally located. A no-frills room as expected, but perfect for sleeping and priced well. I’d stay here again.

Location is fantastic. The hotel has a fantastic rooftop bar. Noisy bar downstairs, so every time you come bad it's livelier that what you'd hope a reception would be. A bit noisy rooftop bar for the rooms on the floor.

Good

POD 39 met all our expectations. They have a convenient location, small but very comfortable rooms, helpful and super friendly front desk ladies, and great coffee in the morning and drinks on the rooftop terrace. We can't wait to stay again.

Great location helpful staff and cool roof top bar. Negative points are algorithm pricing, wear and tear of property due to high usage and lack of thorough room cleaning. There should be set low pricing for such basic accommodations. Some of the plastic and steel room finishes appear stained even though they are clean. Maid service does basic cleaning only. I found much accumulated dust on the window shutters and thick grime on the some of the bed rails. I suggest a deep clean for each room every month or so to resolve this issue. Also, AC noise and vibration from other rooms even when turned off in my room.

Very good

The hotel holds bags without a charge. The rooftop is open in the morning for coffee It has changed quite a bit since I last stayed here. Gone is the festive lobby and cozy seating. Gone are the board games, books and ping pong table. All have been replaced with an over priced Italian restaurant and a mini bar. Gone are the tacos and cheap bar bites with a great margarita. Now it is over priced Italian appetizers. Truly disappointed The worst was a stale croissant that was so hard it could not be broken in half let alone be bitten into. Then I was told I would be refunded when I left, because a refund could not be processed. When I checked out there was no credit. I was told to come back after 2:00 pm to talk with the manager. Came back and finally I was handed cash. Truly felt like I was being jerked around, and I still wonder why the hotel would think it was okay to serve such low quality or a few days old. Like I said disappointed. The young lady at the breakfast bar was very sweet, so was the staff I interacted with throughout the hotel.

Rooms did not look new. Metal furniture was a bad idea. No shelving on walls which would have helped for more space. Beds uncomfortable. AC blowing right on my face all night.

Great spot in midtown. Tiny rooms, but comfortable and stylish. Very fun rooftop bar as well. Helpful and friendly staff

I would stay at a Pod again!

Very clean and convenient. A bit small room, but I guess the name of the hotel is self-explanatory. Great place to stay if you are looking for a clean, safe, convenient, and affordable place in NYC.

Rooms are small but v cleverly done, everything you need. The roof terrace was a joy to work from for the day although WiFi a little shaky up there. Super clean, friendly staff and great location for where I needed to be. Nothing I didn’t like. It’s not cheap but definitely competitively priced compared to other places in the area. Room was perfect for me traveling alone. Would have been tight for two people but doable.

clean accessible, and I love the roof deck and the breakfast downstairs Not enough places to sit and work on the computer outside of his room, which is really small

Would love if there could be a mini fridge in the room. That is my only complaint.

Centrally located. Easy walking distance to the Empire State building and the waterfront close to the UN building. Very small rooms. Could have been cleaner. Noisy ventilation outside window.

excellent location. walkable to many places. staff was great. rooftop exceeded our expectations. bed sizes are ok for 5.8ft. overall, I would suggest to anyone planning to visit nyc for few days. the room was smaller then we expected. the thing we suffered most was bathroom is separated from the room with a thin, almost opaqu sliding door. I would prefer to have a better, isolated bathroom.

Good

This hotel is a great deal for small rooms in midtown. My room was clean and quiet and I slept great with the king size bed. There was just enough room to get around and the window shutters blocked out the light well. It was also quiet and cozy. The bathroom is small. The shower is great with a granite tile floor, not fiberglass. It is also a high shower head which is good for tall people and large people who have a hard time getting underneath some hotel shower heads. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The rooftop is great. Highly recommended. The slightest bit of something was on the lower rack of the dresser.

Good location

Tight rooms but have everything you need. Good and clean choice!

Location is great and very accessible. Rooms quiet and clean.staff were very good and respectfull. The rooms were too tiny compared to the price range

Great location, nice staff, clean hotel, but definitely the full size pod is perfect for one - or if you literally use it only to sleep at night, then the size is fine. The bed is comfortable, complementary coffee and tea in the morning, overall a good hotel in a great neighborhood.

Good for solo tourist and walkable to attractive buildings and 5th avenue.

Excellent location next to Grand Central and right in the midtown. Can'5t beat the price Small rooms but you've got everything you need to rest after a long day in the city. Our initial room had a few noises overnight possibly from aircon and outside generator or similar, but the staff kindly moved us to another (better and more spacious) room

Pod39 Hotel Review Pod39 is the perfect base for a New York stay. The location is unbeatable — right in Midtown, close to everything, yet tucked into a street that still feels local. The rooms are very small, but honestly so cleverly designed that nothing feels cramped. As a tall Dutch person, the bed was a bit short, but still comfortable enough after long city days. Everything was spotless, every day. And the free coffee and tea in the lobby each morning is such a thoughtful touch — it sets the tone for the day. What really makes Pod39 stand out is the staff. Everyone is friendly, but Jenae deserves a special mention: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. There’s a sense of energy and freedom behind the reception desk that makes the whole place feel alive. Highly recommended if you want efficiency, cleanliness, and a great vibe in a top location.

Convenient location close to Grand Central Station and just a short walk to many landmarks including the Flatiron building, Empire State Building, NY Public Library, and Times Square. No complaints at all.

Good place for a short stay

Personnel accueillant, gentil, serviable et accommodant

I really liked the location of Pod 39 Hotel because it was very convenient and accessible. It’s close to many tourist spots like Grand Central Terminal, Times Square, and Bryant Park. The area also felt safe, lively, and easy to navigate, with restaurants, coffee shops, and transportation nearby. It made exploring New York very comfortable and enjoyable. Not applicable

Getting there/Location : - Flew in\out from LGA and took Q70+MTA. Took about 1h door to door. - 5min walk to Grand Central - 10 min walk to 34th Street & Ferry - Citibike station at the corner Hotel and Room: - Wifi was good - Shower was a good size and plenty of towels (body and hair) + hand towels - Bed was comfortable - Easy storage under the bed and clothes rack - Luggage storage after checkout until 11pm-ish. - The rooftop terrasse is great and the food and drinks are reasonably priced. It quiets down around 9pm. - The staff was fantastic and attentive. - Close to Trader joes and Target for snacks and late night errands. There were no mini-fridge in the double pod. *For snackers, or kids to consider If you walk everywhere, it's a calm location. It is 30min from Central Park, 1h to ANHM, 40 min to LES. If you take public transit*, the main lines are about 10ish minutes walk away, to get to Grand Central most lines require a transfer up and downstairs and big stations. *Accessibility to consider *This is were pod39 'lost' 2 points

Great stay and great location! Walkable to Grand Central Terminal to take subway or train rides to surrounding areas/states. I like how efficient the use of a small space is, and it was comfy and quiet.

Nice central location, tiny rooms but very clean and really all you need. Amazing roof top bar with views of the city including the Empire State Building. Coffee and breakfast available in first floor cafe but great bagels just around the corner!!

Hotel is near places of interest in Ny, but the hotel is average. The restaurant inside is very good and was really hard to get complementary coffee in the morning, no bar or amenities on roof top, no closet, no iron. It is not a hotel for relaxing and confort

Organized and really clean Just is small vut that's why the Name and the AC SLOT right on my head

Excellent location, clean, good for two people. Bottom bunk was very low to floor, so a bit difficult to get out of. However, the price and location were excellent for NYC The bed on lower bunk too low to floor. Difficult to get out of .

Staff was kind and helpful. Complimentary water dispenser and coffee tea in the morning was good. The best thing was free guided walking tours. The room was a little small. But every other aspect was good/great.

The room was cute and clean and had everything I needed. I loved the location too and walked everywhere. The AC was great in the room.

Perfect for what we wanted for the one night we stayed there

Excellent location and extremely helpful staff. Cleaning crew is also really attentive and serving your room everyday is a default, which really stands out as some hotels have stopped doing that after COVID. The rooftop bar is amazing with exposed bricks and really nice view. The only complaint I had was that the air conditioner can get rather loud, but only when it’s really working to drop the temp initially.

We stayed in a twin room. The only issue we had was the top bunk was cold and the bottom bunk was hot. We would try to go to the rooftop and it would be closed at the most random times. I'm not talking late either. The staff was kind. For the price and for the location, I would stay here again and again though.

Room was clean and well maintained, staff were friendly and helpful!

Excellent location, and very friendly and helpful staff. Room was very small but that’s probably quite standard for New York.

Enjoyed my stay! Wonderful !!

I wish that tissues were provided in the room. Nothing worse than using toilet paper to blow one’s nose.

I design hotels and am in nyc monthly. I use HotelsTonight and your site. This trip was a little disappointing. They use a nearby gym that works solely on an App. No reception desk. Was very difficult just to go to gym. 2nd the Pod has no luggage rack. So my suitcase sat on the floor and had to lift to put on bed daily. 3rd housekeeping put on the towels on my suitcase every day! AND always forgot wash clothes. I had to call down daily!

Staff was very friendly and helpful; location was excellent for what I needed; and a very clean room with all necessities. There is a rooftop bar and an Italian style restaurant. Free coffee and tea in the morning. The room was even smaller than expected from what was pictured. It felt walk-in closet size and did not warrant the cost per night.

Great location, within walking distance of Grand Central Station. Room was clean and comfortable and the private bathroom was great. Free coffee in the morning was awesome. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. I love a good high flow shower, but the shower was possibly the wettest shower I have even been in. Not a bad really, just sort of challenging.

Location is great. Staff was super friendly, accommodating and helpful. The rooms are just too small for my liking. Everything's small-- the bathroom sink, shower, table, TV etc. i understand the concept but just not for me.

I stayed at Pod 39 Hotel and unfortunately my experience was disappointing, especially considering what I paid. The first night, I was placed in a terrible room that looked completely different from the one I reserved online. I was extremely tired after traveling, so I didn’t realize right away that the room style and the window setup were not what I had booked. Another major issue was the noise. Early every morning, I could hear the staff cleaning other rooms, which made it very difficult to rest and sleep properly. After speaking with the front desk, they switched my room on the second night to one with proper air circulation and a window. That was the only night I was actually able to sleep comfortably. For the amount I paid, I expected the room and overall experience to match what was advertised online. Unfortunately, it did not meet those expectations.

Decent, clean, basic Bathroom shower could be better

The location is amazing and good walking distance to attractions and to the subway, without being too noisy. Staff were lovely. There's a very organized baggage hold on the last day which was convenient The room is very small and cramped - perhaps as expected for ny - and a bit dusty. Though they cleaned everyday, it didn't quite have a clean feeling. The room was also a bit strangely designed. The closet was structured weirdly so there wasn't enough room to unpack, but also not enough room for the luggage itself. The 17th floor is on the same level as their rooftop bar / restaurant, which was very noisy, and I wasn't told about this beforehand. They also do their room service and cleaning quite early in the morning which is important to note!

Easily located if you are needing to travel from Grand Central. It’s also on a side street so noise levels are minimal. Some of the staff was helpful when it came to check it. Overall, I would stay here again! Bathroom could have been a bit cleaner in the shower walls, but overall the room was clean.

Good location, friendly staffs, cleanness is just ok,

Safe and secure place to stay, central location in Manhattan, clean, good air-conditioning & heating, quiet, comfy beds. Rooms are very small but perfect for comfortable sleep and shower. Expensive for the size of the room but very good location for accessing all the sites and attractions of NYC.

The people. The cleanliness The price

The rooms are like a college dorm room. We selected the bunk beds with a bathroom inside. The walls are glass so it was kind of awkward with my 21 year old son. The shower was awful. Like being sprayed from directly above with a fire hose. Other than that, a cool concept that helped us save money. Staff was really nice. Good location near Grand Central Station.

They should extend the rooftop open time

I enjoyed very much my stay in Pod 39 and will certainly come back again.

Great stay for the price and the staff was great.

Room was clean

The location is unbeatable for first-time visitors. You’ll quickly realize that walking somewhere for 20 minutes is actually a small distance in this city. And from this hotel you can walk to almost all popular attractions. Access to the subway is super easy via Grand Central Terminal which is 15 minutes away by foot. There’s free coffee in the mornings in this hotel but I never tried it. I walked to Bagel express 5 minutes or less away and their bagels and coffee were delicious. Shower worked very well. The room does feel like a pod. It’s quite small. But I expected that coming in. The view isn’t always gonna be onto the street, I got the back of the building view.

Staff was excellent, room had everything you really needed and great location to subway and Midtown

Very quiet even though there are so many closely placed rooms. Coffee in lobby was very good. Smart use of space within the small rooms. Doesn't have amenities in rooms like tissues or wash cloths, only hand and bath towels.

The room was clean, and the front desk staff were very helpful. Probably one of the best hotel showers - on the smaller side but amazing pressure, and water was hot almost instantly.

Good place to stay if you’re not planning to be in a hotel much.

Great location, super clean, friendly staff

Amazing location near Grand Central, great staff, nice room and excellent price

The location. The friendly staff and amenities offered That the rooftop bar was closed. Not a problem just wish I had been informed prior. Lack of smoking area.

An affordably ideal hotel, especially for solo travelers with minimal space needs who can forego all amenities except free morning coffee.

Good location. Mechanical noises in the room interfering with sleep.

Clean, quiet, good shower pressure, safe, best location. Not much else you need for a city trip. Thanks again for letting me check out 2 hours later. The NYC prices ?

Rooms were advertised as small and indeed they were.

Me gusto mucho la ubicacion y el servicio estuvo excelente

Such a great environment, staff were so friendly and helpful . Great bar and restaurant … Definitely will return back in a summer time when the rooftop patio is open . There was nothing to complain about

Perfect if you are spending the day out ad the rooms are functionaly just for speeoing and showering. Clean, great staff and great location. Amenities are basci: a tissue box would be a welcomed addition!

My go-to-place

Staff are amazing here !!!

Very friendly staff! Excellent service! Phenomenal location!

They allowed me to check in early—definitely deserving of 5 stars.

It was a breath of fresh air- quickly updated to a queen room, fresh coffee in the morning, daily service. Pier close to everything. Fully recommend.

This was my second time staying at Pod39, and it was such a great experience once again. Great location, kind staff, room was clean! Although small for two ppl but perfect because goal is to spend the least amount of time in the since you’re in NYC!!! Affordable and would stay again!

Great price and they have a pool table down below at the bar.

very clean, affordable, very central location (walkable to many of the big attractions), has a good breakfast spread

our stay was 3/31 - 4/2 2026

Room was clean with everyday service, the staff was polite and very helpful. Complimentary coffee was available only in the mornings. In the afternoons and eveningss no coffee or hot water was in service.

Great location, adorable price and friendly staff. cleanliness is also good!!

The hotel itself and the location are great. The staff are second to none. They remind me of my stay in Japan. They are very helpful and accommodating. From the moment you check in and even after you check out, they treat you like royalty. Thank you Pod 39 for a wonderful stay.

Convenient location by Grand Central. Easy check in room is clean and compact, perfect for solo travelers!

staff wonderful, rooms small and dark, lobby dark, bar friendly; must go to bar to get water to drink

The price is very reasonable, especially for such a great location. The staff is very hospitable. The only concern is that the venting system in the shower room does not seem to be working very efficiently.

There was no prior notice that the rooftop bar is currently restricted due to construction

The room is small but clean with substantial amenities. The bed is comfortable and sheets are clean. The area is safe and convenient being very close to Grand Central.

I was definitely skeptical due to the low price. A lil under $400 for 2 nights in a great area, close to train in NYC. But, I am now a believer. Rooms super quiet, 3 elevators (wait on elevator is an issue in NY), very clean , staff super nice. Great amenities. Will def stay again.

Incredibly friendly, courteous, and helpful staff. My room was quiet, impeccably clean, and the bed was comfy. Will stay here again when visiting family.

Great spot for a shot trip. I loved the location in Midtown. It’s steps away from Grand Central Station and walkable to Times Square, 5th Ave, MOMA and Central Park. For a longer stay I would need a larger room. That is why I put a 4. The best part of Pod 39 is the people!

Clean albeit small room, nice bath.. good gym within a block.. highly recommend for budget friendly trip..

Clean

The staff were all so friendly. The hotel was in a safe and great location. The room was clean and it was fun to sleep in a bunk bed that had such a comfortable mattress.

Great location, clean room, comfortable bed. Great stay an

Make sure you get confirmation on when you arrive. They made me buy the night before because they had a “miscommunication” on their end and still needed to pay in order to check in.

it was great, adding breakfast would be nice and opening the roof top

The best part was the staff. As a breastfeeding mom, I needed somewhere to store my breast pumps and milk. Since the rooms didn't have refrigerators, the staff helped store everything in the back freezer/refrigerator. Every staff member I met was so professional and kind. I'd definitely stay here again for future solo trips!

Staff were very kind!

I had a very busy schedule in NY so all I needed was a private/safe space to shower and sleep. Worked perfectly!

Staff was friendly and helpful.

Small, as expected, but CLEAN, efficient, best water pressure in NYC, hot water, nooks and crannies for storing your stuff and suitcase. Even a safe! And the front desk staff are friendly, helpful and fabulous. Arthurs restaurant is attached to lobby where you can buy b'fast (or get a glass of wine to take to your room). Oh, and quiet!!!

The location is very convenient, with easy access to everything I needed during my stay. My room was always clean and well maintained, which made it easy to settle in and feel comfortable. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful whenever I needed anything. Overall, it was a very comfortable and reliable place to stay, and I would definitely consider returning in the future. The free walking tours were also a great touch. A great way to see NYC!

Great and lovely staff as always!

Very convenient

Clean, quiet, and right in the middle of NYC

This was a good cost-effective place to stay. I felt like I was staying in a dorm. We had bunkbeds in our room, which was fine since it was just my daughter and I we were very close to Bryant Park and Grand Central Station. We were in a safe area and felt OK with walking around at night.

Fantastic base for exploring NYC! So convenient being walking distance to Grand Central Station and lots of food options. Loved the free walking tours offered to Pod guests, and the ground floor bar was nice to have as an option on site too. The roof top was closed when I visited in Winter, which was a shame, as it has spectacular views out over the city. Room was comfortable, clean and had everything you need. Great value for money too - you can't beat Pod 39 if you're staying in Manhattan on a budget and plan to spend your days sightseeing.

Great location! Friendly staff and I loved the room, it was perfect!

Property was off the beaten path in just the right location. Lots of walking but far enough away from the noise.

Excellent, attentive staff.

Very friendly and helpful hotel staff, nice and clean room, will stay here again

Good location to discover eating places

Basically, you get what you pay for! For this price in this location, I think it’s the best that you can get. Just know that the room is very small, no real amenities other than basic necessities, and small windows. But if you just need a safe and private place to crash while still being in a central area, then this is a great option!

Perfect location, with decent prices

Pod 39 is great, simple and basic accommodations for a very reasonable price (although I am not a fan of dynamic pricing; you pay a different amount every night). The location is ideal: three blocks south to the Morgan Library; three blocks north to Grand Central Terminal. The rooms are very small, but the place is reasonably quiet and very clean. I wish they'd drop the pretense of the $20.00 per night "facilities fee." There is a bar and a restaurant off the lobby, but otherwise no "facilities." Be sure to check out the Caffe Venice around the corner for great sandwiches. I would definitely stay at Pod 39 again, and I recommend it without hesitation.

Early in the morning, a cleaning staff member opened the door and entered while I was still inside the room, which was very uncomfortable and unacceptable. After staying up late exploring New York, I was unable to sleep afterward because of the disturbance. Overall, this was a terrible experience and definitely not worth the price.

The room was a perfect size and at the right cost. The room was also clean. My biggest complaint was the "fake" complimentary gym. They promote their partnership with puregym...but the app never worked and therefore I wasn't able to work out during my stay.

Fantastic place

Fantastic place

In the first room I was assigned (305) the air vents were INSANELY loud. It made me wonder if it's called Pod not b/c of the small space but b/c it sounded like I was in a pod of a rocket ship during launch. But then they moved me and the new room was quiet and dark and perfect. Great (strong!) martini at the attached restaurant bar, too.

Perfect stay! I was upgraded to a queen size bed. Staff was friendly and helpful. On checkout day they also offered luggage hold. I was able to leave my bags and keep exploring the city without hauling it around! Will stay again!

Nice hotel and location. Clean rooms.

Nice hotel and location. Clean rooms.

Great staff - lover everything about the Pod - I have stayed here multiple time since they opened. I got a free upgrade and it was wonderful

Nice staff, clean room

The staff is phenomenal.

Great reception, good price for location, clean

Friendly staff, great room, convenient location

Amazing hotel for solo travel, clean rooms, fresh towels and room cleaning daily. Located in an amazing area in Murray Hill just blocks away from grand central and major subway lines. Will definitely consider staying here again soon!

Great location, clean room, helpful staff.

Clean room; staff friendly, attentive, and very helpful

Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are small but clean. Hotel is in a great location

The rooms and clean and functional. The hotel is in a great location and close to the train.

Convenient location for Metro-North /LIRR /4-5-6-7 trains. Spotless room- just very very small. For a short stay it was fine. Friendly, helpful staff. Will stay here again in fact- price cannot be beat.

Clean, efficient space, good location, very reasonably priced

Room cleaned daily, staff always pleasant. My only issue is the forced resort fee. It’s not a resort…..

The bag check was lovely and complimentary! Very nice to sightsee without being weighed down. All staff were courteous and helpful.

Kindest cleaning staff i’ve ever encountered in a hotel. Every time I would pass one they would greet me.

The restroom door in my room didn't fully close, and even though it's foggy glass, it's still kinda transparent.

Everything was good

The worst part for me was having to produce my room key to use the elevator to get to my room. It seemed my hands were always full and being 72, it was a struggle. I almost dropped a coffee and twice I ended up going to the basement cause I couldn't get my card out fast enough

Really great staff and

Clean room and easy check in

Great location, clean room, good service

Rooms were super clean. Bed was comfy. The overall aesthetic was cool—the lounge had a great vibe and excellent music. Free coffee was good. Great location and friendly staff. My only critique is that I wish the bathroom had a fan. Otherwise, the experience was superb. I’ll definitely stay at a Pod hotel again!

POD 39 is located in a good area friendly staff and clean.

Yes

But I can get the coffee and water with no charge.

Check-in was fast, location was good, elevators did not have a crazy long wait. Rooms are small but clean.

Staff was nice. Location is good.

Room was great. Staff was courteous. Location of hotel was excellent for everything that I wanted to do. Only downfall for me was no refrigerator or microwave nor ice machine. Other than that everything was amazing. View was amazing.

Great location

Clean room but very small

Great overall experience

Everything was good.

Our room was extremely small and we were kindly offered a different, larger room, which we appreciated very much and were much more comfortable. The staff is great, friendly and efficient. The room was cleaned everyday, towels changed, and the cleaning ladies are outstanding. Unfortunately, the breakfast is not good, it is poor and there are not healthy options. The hotel is small, quiet and clean in general, very well located, walking distance from everything; the rooms are pretty renovated, good bathrooms, excellent sheet quality. A good alternative if you don't want to spend much in a hotel in Manhattan, want to be away from the crowds but near every attraction at the same time.

Hotel nice a modern.

Clean room, customer service was out of this world-constantly stayed in contact via text before, during, and after stay. Staff was pleasant any time we were coming/going, the bar and restaurant were EXCELLENT. Drinks and food were great. Perfect location that was quiet enough at night to get rest, but quickly get to all the major hot spots in NYC! Also, close to the airport. Loved our stay!

All good

Good place to stay in Manhattan!

I loved the room size and the cleanliness. I was very comfortable. I also appreciated the bar/lounge area downstairs. It was my birthday weekend and the staff wrote me a card and gave me two free drink tickets. I’ll be back very soon! Thank you all.

Amazing service, great quality

Great location! Walkable and safe neighborhood with plenty of dining options nearby. Easy access on foot to public transportation, shopping, the library, midtown Manhattan, and it's only a moderate distance (less than 2 miles) to walk to the theatre district. That's why we chose this hotel. Our room was very small, but we knew it would be. Everything about the property was as advertised and expected. The location is its primary appeal, but that makes every penny worth it.

Spotless rooms, amazing location

Great area, amazing staff!

Great

They put me in an unacceptable room next to noisy machinery that droned on all night. Refused to refund for the room. I checked out 2 days early despite their refusal to give me a refund for paying in advance.

Super clean. Perfect for a getaway ☺️

Had no breakfast. Not handicapped accessible, making it challenging getting in/out of bldg Never again.

Excellent stay.

I had a great time staying .

Room was very clean and smartly furnished. It is a tight space, but the vaulted was great and just what we needed for a day in the city. We would stay again!

Room was fine, but walls are very thin, very noisy and difficult to sleep.

staff, comfortable

We were not there long. Did not eat or go to the bar but room was clean and quiet. We enjoyed our night there.

Such a cute little room!! Very efficient use of space. Full size bunk twin beds with private bath and quiet. Very clean, excellent staff, free morning coffee in the resto/ bar off of lobby, great location within walking distance of so many “must-see”places plus Grand Central for subway. Definitely recommend and would stay there again next time I’m in NYC.

All good Works for reasonable priced room

Staff helpful and met my needs, great little place however the breakfast area way to cold staff wearing coats

There was a very strong odor, likely chemical, in the room. My bed blanket smelled like urine but could also be chemical. I suspected chemical because my legs started to itch.

Initially, one of the front desk attendants tried to pretend he couldn't see me or didn't know I wanted something. He let me stand in front of him while he ignored me without any acknowledgment whatsoever. When a second attendant returned from helping other guest with bags, he helped me and was wonderful: friendly, helpful, efficient, and more.

Staff was incredibly attentive and helpful. Room was tiny but very clean and comfortable. Bathroom was spotless & everything worked. I'd stay again

The room was functional and actually kind of fun to experience. The staff were very courteous and accommodating. Communication via text was very proactive and thorough.

Definitely would recommend

My husband and I have stayed at Pod Hotels before and always knew what to expect—small, clean rooms, friendly staff, and a great location. For the first part of our stay, Pod 39 lived up to that. Unfortunately, our trip took a stressful turn when we returned to Room 1218 after a full day out and discovered bed bugs in our bed. I recorded a video immediately, and my husband contacted the front desk. Maintenance inspected the room and confirmed additional bed bugs under the sheets. We were moved to another room (which we insisted be inspected first), and the hotel provided a full refund—though we had to handle the refund ourselves through Expedia. We were also given a $40 café voucher, which only covered coffee and pastries and did little to offset the inconvenience. Because of this incident, we had to: • Shake out all of our luggage • Send all clothing and bags for professional cleaning, which took two days • Spend two full days in New York with no clothes or coats • Purchase about $200 of replacement clothing • Have our cleaned items FedEx’d back to Michigan Given that these expenses were a direct result of the hotel’s bed bug issue, we feel we should be reimbursed for the clothing we had to purchase. Aside from this, the staff were friendly, the second room was clean, and the location is excellent. But the bed bug situation—and the lack of more substantial accommodation—significantly overshadowed what could have been a great stay.

the atmosphere was great. the breakfast options were ok. nothing cooked, warmed up sandwiches

Room was clean but very small. No nightstand on one side of the bed. Mattress was soft and not comfortable. Hotel location is excellent, a quiet street near Grand Central Station.

The advertisement says they have a terrace, but when you arrive they say it's not available. The breakfast they sell is poor quality and expensive, and the shower makes a lot of noise when you use it.

Perfect

This was the best hotel we could’ve picked to stay on our vacation to New York City. The staff was unbelievable, so kind and so helpful. The rooms were always clean. It was so easy to check in and check out. It will be our go to hotel for when we go to New York. The price was really wonderful..

I’d stay again. It was what you’d expect for a solid place to crash without the frills.

Impressively efficient room layout; great fitness center approach, by providing day passes to very nearby full-service gym with extensive equipment.

Great staff

Room was very clean and extremely quiet. Staff was great.

Clean room, friendly staff

Room was clean as always. Staff was kind. Great location. Always love staying here.

It was under renovation when I stayed and it was very noisy

Liked my stay. Clean and modern hotel, with friendly staff and convenient location. Will book again in the future. Thanks

Everything was perfect. Clean rooms in the city centre

The windows are not double paneled The bed should be moved away from Window. The amenities are poor quality - shampoo and body wash Staff nice Location is great

Perfect location, rooms small but super ergonomic and clean and great value.

Courteous staff

The room is small but perfectly adequate. My room had a nice view from the two windows. There was a blinking light from a smoke detector above the bed which was disturbing.

Great service! I had to reserve two rooms. The front desk staff made sure they were next to each, something I couldn’t have arranged myself. Thank you!

Close to everything

clean room great staff

All good

It looked like a dorm room and that is what it was. My only wish is that things

The room was neat and clean. Good sound proofing, awesome location.

Especially friendly service

Staff was great rooms were nice and clean. TV had no guide to see what is on.a bit small but nice

The room was clean and adequate. The bathroom was nice. The staff were courteous. The location was great!

POD 39 was awesome. Very convenient! Very clean the staff was amazing. Made it real simple to check in and check out! Housekeeping was always on point! They made sure our trash was always thrown, towels were always good & that was always made! POD 39 always made sure that we were having a great day by constantly updating us with the text messages! They also gave us information on how we could take a walking tour! There was a bar in the hotel, which was pretty nice! There was also an Italian restaurant as soon as you walked in! Lobby was nice and comfy! I also really enjoyed that you could only go up and down the elevator with your room key, which made it pretty safe! I will definitely be booking again here on my next trip to New York!

Rooms are small but functional. A w

Very clean and comfortable stay. Well appointed room in a convenient location

Good price, polite staff, small room but comfy

great location

Tiny rooms, like a Japanese business hotel, but clean, well designed, nice staff, and it has everything one needs in a hotel: bed, shower, sink, hooks, closet, en suite bathroom, windows, desk, chair, nice thick towels. The “facility fee” feels like a bit of a joke at a minimalist hotel, but I suppose it covers wifi, the television, and the phone, and the gym, none of which I needed. I tested the wifi, but my Verizon unlimited 5G-UW service was faster in this location. I would stay here again.

Kamers waren klein maar schoon en pesoneel was heel erg aardig en behulpzaam .

All good

The staff is always wonderful. The rooms are clean. The neighborhood is safe. The price cannot be beat.

Kind helpful staff, cozy room, comfortable bed, great shower.

Location is prime ! Also clean rooms

We stayed in a bunk room and it’s not easy to get in and out of the upper bunk or the lower bunk. The lights were hard to figure out the bathroom door doesn’t want to stay closed. The hot water in the shower makes a horrible noise if you have the sink on. There is a window, but nothing to see.

Warmly greeted. Everything nice

This is a decent and clean Hotel is you are on a budget. The rooms are small but it’s well located and I wouldn’t stay there for too many nights though and btw the bathroom it’s right there in the room without much privacy so keep that in mind if you are staying with so someone else. This is the perfect Hotel if you are traveling alone in my opinion and on a budget. Again, not bad but it is what it is.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. I was able to check in super early (it changed my first day significantly - for good). The hotel is supper close to Grand Central and Bryant Park. It was a great location and a great experience.

Great place!

Originally had a full size booked, was upgraded to a queen for free. Everyday room was cleaned with bed being made and fresh towels. Was perfect for my stay and just what I needed.

Great staff as always, from front desk to bar, but the rooms are getting a bit worn and the price is not as competitive as it was to warrant the lack of basic amenities. Still ok for one or two nights if you're spending the day out.

Great

Clean room!

The room is too small for a Queen bed, which is one of our requirements in selecting a room. The bed was less than a foot from one wall, and a TV mounted on that wall made it nearly impossible to get out on that side of the bed. Management should not have put a Queen bed in such a small room, nor should they have charged as much as they did for such a small room.

Convenient.

The facility fee $22 plus facility fee tz of $2.20 was not mentioned as Hotels website indicated that the price included all fees and taxes. When I checked in it was not mentioned either. The check in person said that I was all paid up and my credit card would only be used if I charged something to the room. Instead I was charged an additional $68.

Great

.

I did get upgraded to a queen room which was still fairly small. Glad I got upgraded because I don't know if I could have handled the smaller room that I booked. Overall a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars

Good value although rooms very small and light on amenities

The breakfast was passable but the staff person didn’t speak English so it was difficult to find out what was available. We didn’t realize we could have eggs so we had pastry.

Great hotel and great location

Comfortable and clean room. Staff were helpful and accommodating

Me ofrecieron una habitación más grande, pero estaba justo al lado del elevador, lo que prácticamente hizo imposible dormir. El ruido constante de las máquinas y del propio elevador resultó muy molesto. Además, aunque la habitación era más amplia, tenía una litera y el espacio resultaba reducido e incómodo. He estado en otras habitaciones del mismo hotel y la experiencia ha sido mucho mejor, por lo que esta estancia fue una excepción desafortunada.

Good，clean，spacious room

Room smaller than a walking closet, it doesn’t worth the $400 a night they charge.

Not bad for NYC

Feels like a prison and nothing like their modern building in Williamsburg

Contacted them many weeks in advance to see if I could move it. They told me no modifications, tough. Won't do anything for you. Screw these ppl. Also a lesson in why to not use Expedia ...

The hotel was very clean.

The only negative is just the general part of town is a bit skuzzy. Not in an unsafe way...It's just lacking in the charm/beauty of other streets in New York.

Great experience. Room is clean. Lobby is lively and safe.

Was great experience staying at Pod 39

Very helpful staff. Nice vibe. Quiet street, and yet very close to Grand Central Station.

Very nice single room, small but sufficient with enough space for everything. Generous on towels :) quiet, nice location near grand central

Very clean and great location. Friendly service. Room was very small but that was to be expected. I don’t think I would have enjoyed it if I was sharing the room with others since for example the bathroom is pretty close to the bed, but I think it is great for solo traveling. Appreciated the rain shower head. The hotel has a fun, hip vibe to it. I LOVED the rooftop.

Friendly staff and central location

A nice room for 24 hours in NYC.

Very clean room and great customer service!

Was very clean house keeping daily and great location

Great location near Grand Central. Good selection of places to get a quick bite nearby.

Such a small room. Maybe too small. But it’s a hotel room and serves its purpose

The cutest small super clean hotel. Great location also safe to walk around at night

It’s always been a pleasure to stay here: convenient location, walkable, near Grand Central, friendly staff and of course, a nice and clean room. I’ll come back pretty soon :-)

Clean rooms and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Definitely will go back. Thank you!

I went to NYC with my son, this was a great place to rest our head. It is small, but perfect for just us two! Staff was friendly, it was a calm and quiet lobby and ambiance. Walking distance to Grand Central Station, 5 min walk!

Nice to have an affordable option and loved the walking tours they provide to guests!

Nosie isolation is terrible. Everything else is good!

Great place as base to have a good sleep and place to recharge while exploring! Really nice rooftop terrasse! And the free water refill is much appreciated to never start an adventure thirsty.

Excellent

Great location!

The staff was exceptional

.

The property needs a redo. It is worn and tired. Room was great, seemed clean. Staff was Y’know hotel staff ;)

The room was too small to stay and not comfortable!

This was my third or fourth stay at Pod39. Staff is unfailingly helpful and responsive. Housekeeping is great and the location is wonderful. Yes, the rooms are small, but they're intelligently designed and laid out.

Basic, but nice - bunk beds for 2 like a dorm room. Great to have the free walking tours for guests.

The staff were welcoming and helpful with any questions I had. The rooms were clean and there was a window that you could open for some fresh air. The rooms are on the smaller side, but that’s something that comes with the affordable price and good value of the hotel. The hotel is a short walk from Grand Central and the subway, which was very convenient. I appreciated the transparency on what I was paying and would totally stay here again.

All good, value for money, only issue is with the hot water and water pressure. It was a challenge to set it in the right temp and could have had better shower water pressure.

Its an OK option. Great location. Poor design choices mean the small space doesnt work as well as it could - so the narrow shower area (fine) gets more unpleasant because a nylon shower curtain is continually blown by the air con and constantly wraps around you. Little fixes would make it better.

Its spartan but neat and clean with god front deck service

Very good condition, clean room, kind people, 5 stars from us.

Great!

Efficient hotel, friendly staff, great location in midtown.

The price is decent with good location and private space. You got what you paid for

Comfortable bed, excellent shower. Room was small as expected, but great for the amount we spent there. Luggage stored on check out day was helpful too.

Centrally located in downtown Manhattan. Very friendly staff. Extremely clean room.

Great staff, impressed by the convenience of everything

Exact location, near everything I need on my vacation, beautiful Roof Top

Good comfortable clean hotel with small rooms but affordable prices in a good location.

Funky POD boutique hotel a few blocks from Grace Central. Bed was super comfy, water pressure in shower was excellent and room was very clean. Yummy complimentary coffee every morning.

This is a great place when you only need sleep and shower. Comfy beds, very quiet. Perfect location, close to Grand Central station.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Amazing rain shower and hip rooftop bar.

I enjoyed the staff, location and the view. My favorite was the rooftop!! 10/10

Clean room, and amazin location. The staff was also very polite and helpful. Great stay overall.

Accommodating staff with early check in.

Good

Great place , rooms are small but highly functional. You just need a place, this is perfect. Best for solo travelers, if you have a big family, you won't fit in one room and may need a few rooms or you may need to stay at a more "traditional" hotel. Great places to eat down the street. Shake shack right 1 block down. Win!

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The amenities were great to get you going including free coffee in the morning and gym day passes to the blink around the corner. The rooftop bar is beauitful and a great place to get your work done during the day because no one really utilized it. There was exterior construction during the day but that didnt disturb any of my sleeping hours.

Great common area. Room clean. Bed comfy. Price was right.

Loved my stay at Pod 39! Great location close to so many attractions and restaurants, easy in and out, fantastic customer service. Thanks so much Pod 39!

honestly it was simple, cute, and modern, loved it

Staff is wonderful

One of the best bijou chic hotels I've ever stayed in. Front of house house kind and courteous. Room cleaned everyday and beautifully presented each evening i returned. One comment about room 609, my room, the air conditioning was a bit noisy but hey, just switch it off

the rooms need to be cleaned more thoroughly. It is not clean at all, stained towels and sheets , mold in the bathroom, dust on the sideboards. The rooms are basic but that s ok if at least it was clean .

The staff makes up for the property being a little long in the tooth. It definitely could do with some renovation/updating.

Perfect experience

Pod 39 is conveniently located and reasonably priced. The front desck staff might be politer.

Very Cool!

Good spot, in a great area.

PS the shower is awesome

Visit was perfect. Exactly what we needed. Very convenient. Would definitely stay here again

The location is just fantastic. Can’t be beat. Close to grand central terminal. The rooms were clean. The service was excellent. The area felt very safe and super convenient to get around by foot, Uber or subway. The only negative is that while it is understandably a “pod” there could have been a more private partition between the bed and the bathroom rather than a half opaq-ish glass sliding door. No locks on a bathroom that has a sliding door was weird. Plus no vent fan in the bathroom makes for a not so ideal situation. Would definitely stay here again!! Good job Pod39 team!!

Overall, this was a wonderful stay in a great location, reasonably priced, and very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Front desk can be a bit rude. The restaurant wasn’t great but other than that no issues. Clean and excellent location. Fantastic rooftop bar.

I liked the retro vibes, the nostalgic restaurant and the rooftop bar.

Htyhrrtygdd

Always a good spot for my business or pleasure trips.

Everyone at Pod 39 was extremely kind. The rooms were great and clean. Already planning my next trip to NYC and I’ll be staying here again.

Great location

.

Bed was okay, very small room, TINY shower, no doors for bathroom, they were sectioned off with glass and you can hear/ smell everything. Wouldn’t go there again, room smelled bad..

The staff is fantastic. So is the in-room safe, cable TV and proximity to Grand Central Terminal. I have come to really enjoy the predictable simplicity of staying at Pod 39. It has been my NYC property-of-choice for quite a few years. I am never disappointed.

Rooms are a lot smaller in person. Overall a good stay for 1-2 nights for a person who doesn’t plan on staying in their room.

Really enjoyed in comfort and accessibility. Stunning views on the 17th floor and the staff were extremely helpful & kind.

This is my go to hotel for NYC. It’s a short walk to Grand Central Terminal and convenient for many other Manhattan destinations.

I stayed here for a few nights when in town for an appointment. I’ll stay here again as it was exactly what I needed. My room was clean and the bathroom was spacious. Everyone who worked there that I interacted with was beyond helpful and friendly.

Great atmosphere and vibe and location

Excellent service and location

The annoying: For having a smaller room, it seemed there could have been more hooks on bare walls for hats bags and towels. The air conditioner sounded like cats in a cage and the room safe was broken. Other than that it was a decent stay.

Great location for subway, restaurants, and bars.

I love the atmosphere and ambiance of this place. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful throughout my visit. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

This hotel is consistently clean and efficient. Coffee in the morning for guests and close to transportation. Quiet and well equipped. Front desk are friendly and always willing to help. Good job guys!!!

Great

Clean and confortable room.

Many food options

Excellent experience. I will stay there again!

Excellent

Hard to beat for the price.

Wow would definitely stay here again! So comfortable clean and affordable!

Great hotel. Nice staff. Love the area

I stayed at this hotel on the days I was in NYC and my experience was incredible!! Clean, all the staff was very friendly, and on the last day I had to check out late and they did it at no cost, I appreciated it very much, thank you !! Definitely I will back!!

Stay was great but some fees were hidden

small room but clean

Great little budget hotel and perfect to be able to have bunk beds so we could each get a really good sleep. Small room but with an unexpected clear view of Empire State Building from both the room and from the en suite. Great shower and water pressure. Friendly staff. Rooms cleaned every day. Central location and really beautiful rooftop bar. We absolutely loved it. And a great price too. The interior corridors could look a bit brighter. But overall a really great place to base ourselves to see Manhattan . Nice easy going area too

I❤️NY

Amazing! It's small but has everything you need. Restroom is a little awkward as the door is somewhat opaque / a bit see through. But everything else was perfect, and its in a such convenient location.

Transport access
