I would like to thank all your team for their great performance, specially Mr. Albert at reception, he was a great help for me, assisting with my sightseeing online booking, that i had difficulty to complete, while check out, he helped me with my bags till the taxi door. He always grated me and other guests in professional way and with a smile. Cleaning team are doing excellent job, during my 10 days stay, my room and common area were always up to standards. Location is perfect, close by to everything (subway, restaurants, attractions places)

I like that the hotel was in the heart of Manhattan and walking distance from time Square, having access to everything around you was amazing and convenient.

Mohamed Qatar

I continue to be impressed with each of my stays at Pod 51. You truly can't beat the price, the location is perfect, and the communal spaces/facilities are kept incredibly clean. This is my go-to NYC hotel for a reason.

Kayley United States of America

The cleanest hotel I've ever been in. Staff were courteous, check-in was a breeze. Great wifi, a cute little seating area for lunch, and wonderful proximity to just about anything you might need during your stay. They even have shampoo, which I needed in a pinch. Wifi's great. I had a Full Pod, and the bed was comfortable. Great showers, too. Not much noise from my neighbors was heard, so I was able to concentrate on my work in peace.
