I have stayed at Aloft (by W) properties, and I thought that Pod39 was a similar concept so I chose to stay here (alone) to save a few bucks. However, the bed is a platform bed, and the bedding was mediocre, and while not the most uncomfortable bed i have slept on, i wouldn't stay here again. Also, the shower... More

We took a photo of my husband standing with arms outstretched and touching both walls at the same time. It's super cosy but had everything we needed and clever bits for small spaces. Given that it's NYC we were never in the room except to sleep and to get changed for dinner and show. Fabulously located 2 blocks from central... More

Pod 39 is ideal for someone who wants to stay more time outside the hotel than in the room. The room itself is tiny - really small - with very few amenities.

Hotel is in a good location. Grand Central is a few blocks away. Rooms we small and bed was very small but the hotel served it's purpose. Has a really cool rooftop bar. Price was right. Will absolutely stay here again.

Great location and good looking, The Pod is great for anyone who doesn't plan on staying in their room for most of their trip. The rooms are tiny, but clean and efficient, and the beds comfortable. Free wifi that's actually working adds to the value. I'm definitely coming back.

The good points are the location, friendly check in, buzzy bar with two table tennis tables. The bad points are that the name of the hotel Pod is an accurate description of the bedroom which was tiny! The rail to hang clothes is over the side table next to the bed. The basin is so small that it is inevitable... More
