to get started.

My third stay here. Not up to standard if other stays. Noisy room. Falsehood fire alarm at 8 am. Walked down 12flights if stairs. Toilet didn’t flush correctly. Called they didn’t fix it. WiFi was off/on. Not very useable.

The location is just amazing, in the center you can go to most landmarks on foot, such as Grand Central Terminal, Chrysler building, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center, even Central Park and etc. The room was clean, staff was friendly, Wi-Fi woks pretty well.

Very clean and put together. Good location. No issues at all! Very nice staff and best deal for its location in Manhattan.

Tate

It has a young quirky feel all around. Reminded me of Youth Hostel's day but with way more comforts. Rooms were spotless and being on the seventh floor relatively quiet. Rooms and bathrooms cleaning service was very good. Our Queen room was small but perfectly equipped and sufficient sapce for 2 adults to move around.

Sabrina

One of the best hotels, very cozy, comfy, clean, modern design and has very good location, only 15 minutes away from the Times Square and 10 minutes from the Grand Central Station! Too many restaurants and bars nearby.. I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic Stay! We booked a three night stay at Pod 39 not knowing what to expect as we are seasoned adults. We were blown away by this hotel. Starting off, the personnel were very friendly and professional. The room, while not large, had all we needed. It was immaculate and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was actually very spacious. The gathering areas were beautiful, the restaurant, Empellón al Pastor, excellent and convenient. The rooftop bar, though not open at the time, is beautiful! All in all, we will be back and will recommend it to our friends.

“more expensive than we had planned for due to 'hidden' changes.”
- • Business trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 5 nights
They charged an additional facilitation fee (I think that was the name for it) that we were not expecting and which was $30 a night. Additionally, they charge $22 a night deposit but were a) unable to explain why, and b) only able to say it would be about 2 weeks before the amount was repaid. The reason for this delay was apparently because of "our bank" not being in the USA. as it was on Barclaycard, which is an international brand, this is hard to believe. As I write this I still do not know if it has been repaid. I would not be surprised if it is not, even though we did no damage to the room or anything else. I do not believe that either of these charges were on the Booking site. This is not good practice. if they were on the site, they were not prominent enough.
location is very good, but there anent many places to sit and eat breakfast nearby.

“Would have been 5 star if not ruined by your 7 day deposit refund procedure, left a really bad taste”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 4 nights
What completely ruined my stay was the fact that when you took a deposit on my credit card on arrival, you informed me on departure that my deposit would only be returned to be a minimum of 7 days later. This is unacceptable. That is my money, not yours, and you are earning interest on my money instead of me. I should have been advised of this when booking and checking in, and have been given the option to make a cash deposit returnable on check out. This procedure completely ruined what had been otherwise a great experience.
Staff were great, location perfect, liked the vibe.

Very noisy room. Mechanical vibrations from some kind of equipment resounds through the whole room and throughout the night at irregular intervals. When the value is accompanied by small rooms, the noise cancels value. I requested quiet room and did not get one.
Nice staff--every single one. Great vibe and decor. Practical rooms. Fantastic location.

Staff were professional and friendly enough, although they could have given guests a warmer welcome.
This is a basic hotel for NYC but at a very reasonable price when compared to the competition (hotels in New York are generally very pricey). Small but clean, functional and quiet rooms. Excellent location. No breakfast service, but a great local diner was recommended by Reception with a huge menu and generous portions. Definitely recommended for NYC on a budget.

Room was tiny that I didn't expect, in the photo it seems bigger. And I didn't like the noise which comes from the fan, and it is impossible to turn it off because it is a part of whole system. However if you are not so sensitive then it will not annoy you.

The room i booked was not available so i had to move into one of the smaller rooms with the bunk beds. The personel then told me that the next morning i had to change the room and would get a discount on the facility fee that is charged on top of the room price. After checkout i realized that there was no discount deducted. The new room was okay, but the aircon/heater is extremely loud, i turned mine off and still heard the one from my neighbour's room. The light of the fire alarm is set directly above the bed and blinks all night long, so it would be better to bring a sleeping mask to not be disturbed by the blinking. The bar closed at 12.00pm on a Saturday and the rooftop seems to be seasonal only (spring and summer).
The bed is comfortable.
