Pleasantly surprised!!
Pod 51 actually blew my expectations. After reading mostly good reviews, I tried it form myself for 2 nights. The room and bathrooms were super clean, even though the bathrooms were shared. I really don’t have any complaints other than don’t get a room next to the bathrooms because of the constant opening and closing of doors sound.

The service and the attitude of people was like “it is what it is”, which is the worst you can do in hospitality services. They don’t even have a water cooler in the lobby.

I stayed at Pod Hotel during the UN General Assembly when rooms were scarce and running out quickly. It wasn’t my first choice, but I chose it with no expectations. The staff was welcoming, and the location turned out to be perfect. The rooms are small but clean, which is expected for a “Pod.” I initially booked a room without a private bathroom due to unavailability from high demand but upgraded to one the next day. I recommend getting a room with a private bathroom for added comfort. Overall, a pleasant stay
