Rooftop patio and outdoor garden, among very convenient location of this property, are the main reasons to choose Pod 51. Don’t like: our room, albeit one of the biggest, needs some refreshing/fixing (the bathroom slide door wasn’t working and with the toilet being two steps away from the bed, it was quite inconvenient to not to have, at least, a frosted glass barrier).

Our stay was fantastic. We loved the location—it was so convenient to all the attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, and despite the shared washrooms, they were always spotless. The staff were wonderful, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely book again.

Good location and felt safe in the area. Room (full room) big enough for 2 people for a couple of nights. Staff was really nice. Price was good for NYC. The chlorine smell for the first 24 hours or so was intense though. Would stay here again.

I thought it was a good location and the rooms were clean, that being said there are only communal bathrooms which means no shower or toilet in the room, and that was a bit uncomfortable.
