Though compact, the room was acceptable and had all the necessities for a short stay. It's not for the claustrophobic though and, after several days of sightseeing, provides no significant area to laze about and relax.

Don’t stay here if you want to sleep at night. If you love the sound of doors slamming, screaming and never being able to sleep for more than ten mins.. this is the place for you. The hotel is beautiful and clean.. just can’t sleep there

I checked in late and fell right asleep. When I woke up there was a cockroach on my bedsheet by my chin, and when I jumped up I saw another one just disappearing behind the bed, and found another roach dead by the table in the room. I stayed at other Pods a few times and never had such an issue as I did at Pod51. I will NEVER stay here again super nasty.

Cute, friendly hotel with a very comfortable bed. Perfect location. One downside: while my room had a private bathroom, it was across the hall from the shared bathroom and I had trouble falling asleep due to all of the noise of people going in and out and slamming the door.

Paid over a thousand for my stay. The hallway of the floor where my room was located was being painted. The noise of the work the workers were doing didn’t let me sleep; it was too loud; and the paint gave me allergies, so I couldn’t enjoy my trip.

The room I got had no ac just a radiator. I tend to get really hot, so I had to open the windows. Which isn’t bad this time of year, though the building across the street could totally look in. Thank goodness there was shutters. Also the shower sliding door was off its track, but my husband set it back on so it works now. It’s perfect for a little getaway in the city. The amenities like the tv and clock are outdated. But regardless of that it’s a perfect little gem in NYC and I’d recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want the frills of a hotel and just a nice quaint place to rest while exploring the city.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The bed sheets seemed small for the bed and kept coming off despite minimal movement and the shower water was either too hot or too cold and the water pressure was very inconsistent and kept making noises that sounded like it was breaking down. The vent near the window also kept making noises throughout the night that sounded like something was trying to get out and it was disturbing.

It was comfortable and convenient enough for a 1 night stay, but the bathrooms are the size of a closet and you have to go back to your room to wash your hands. Also, there was an awful clanking noise while I was trying to sleep that I believe was the plumbing. Would not stay long term, but if you need something cheap (for NYC anyway) it's comfortable and safe enough to be worth a shot.
