This is budget accommodation in New York terms ... still very expensive from my point of view. It's basic, a tiny space with bunk beds for two of us, but it's clean and the bathroom is good, and once we got used to the place we enjoyed it. The staff on the desk are very busy and not helpful to guests but that's not a real problem. One really good thing is that there is a bar that serves only drinks in the evening, but there is a rather cool eating area so you can bring your own takeaway food in the evening and enjoy the space. We got Turkish takaways from the place next door to the hotel. We only found the eating area on our second day as we weren't told about it by the staff. As I said, they aren't helpful, but we would happily stay here again.

Great staff and the room was very clean. Shout out the bartender Groovy who was extremely nice and had such a great vibe. The only thing is that the rooms do smell a little funky at times.

It was overall pretty good. I liked the location and the vibes from the hotel itself. The bathroom was fine. The actual room was good. Some of the plugs need to be updated as devices require more than just a USB. I would come back.

It had been several years since our last time in Manhattan, so we were happy to stay at the tried and true Pod Times Square, and find it pretty much as we remember it from our last visit. We checked in, and then parked our car for four nights at a nearby parking garage (discounted 24-hr rate thru the hotel). Front desk staff is always present, friendly, and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable, and roomy enough for our bags and other belongings. Enjoyed our 17th-floor window view overlooking 9th Ave., with a peek at the Empire State Building! This place is always busy, with guests of all ages and from around the world. The location of this hotel more than makes up for the barebones simplicity of the accommodations. Totally walkable to Times Square, Fifth Avenue, the High Line, and more. A subway station is just two blocks away. And there are plenty of restaurants and other conveniences within a few blocks in all directions.

Convenient hotel, great location, with more of a upmarket hostel vibe. Rooms small (as we expected) but cleverly designed with hooks, storage and charging stations. We didn’t have breakfast in the hotel so can’t comment. Staff were friendly and helpful, with the exception of the bar person - maybe she thought she was cool, I don’t know. Shame there is no longer a restaurant and that outdoor space was closed, but honestly we didn’t come to New York for the hotel so didn’t really matter. The walking tour bookable from reception was excellent. Would stay again.
