Pod 51

Location, staff, price

I'm used to small rooms at Pod 51 but this past trip my room seemed extra small, hard to move around

Great location

Rooms are a little small

Location was good- breakfast wasn't included !

Bathrooms definitely need updating- clean but old The sink and mirror in the rooms make it feel like a prison cell; just needs to feel more welcoming

The location is very great, walking distance to almost everything in mid-Manhattan (Rockefeller Center, Time's square...etc.) there's lots of cafe, some restaurant and also pharmacy near by. The hotel with a morden design, like the lobby, common area. The room is small but bright (plenty of lights in the room) clan and toilet/shower is clean and well equipped, good toiletries (bottles of shampoo/conditioner/shower gel) we stay here for 6 nights and never finish anything. There's a small safety box indoor which is good for people who want to store things inside and lots of hangers!! (love it, especially winter time) The roof top is wonderful , can enjoy a good night view, watch those skyscrapers and also can enjoy a quiet urban cozy moment.

The heater/air con has a very loud noisy, although we end up didn't turn on much cause it was not too cold but still need to share, people do need to be aware. Since it is a great city center location, meaning "noise" gonna be the biggest issue, if you are light sleeper or afraid of noise, please do prepare a pair or multi pairs of ear plugs. The floor we stay unfortunately is very close to the ''common bathroom/restroom'' (actually it was just almost right in front of our room) which means the ear plug will be essential because you can hear the door open and close loudly anytime. that's the most annoying part. The size of the bed is really small, if we decide to stay there again, definitely will choose the biggest room in the hotel. no hesitate, and probably higher floor, and better no share toilet in that floor. ;)
