Pod 39

Whoever designed this hotel thought it through very carefully. Everything worked very well. The bed was comfortable. My room was surprisingly quiet, even though it was next to the lifts. Despite the small size, there were clever options for storage. Pod 39 is extremely well located for Midtown Manhattan. The complementary tea and coffee in the mornings was a blessing and saved going out to find one straight away, although there are lots of options close by.

This place was perfect for a solo traveller. The room was small as expected but it was smartly designed with plenty of space for my suitcase and even a small wardrobe which was great for hanging up my winter coat etc. The location was great, nice and close to the subway and Grand Central station. The big spacious area behind reception was a great place to hang out and the complimentary coffee you can help yourself go in the morning was a huge added bonus. Although the rooftop bar was closed for the season I was happy I could still go up there to see the sunset.

Good beds and pillows. Good roof bar. Staff at the check in did a good job - very helpful. Staff at the roof at as well very friendly.

Location is excellent, just a short walk from grand central station . Also very close to the buses for the new York marathon which was my reason for visiting. 10 min walk to Lexington 53st to connect to JFK . Drinks for marathon runners were available after I got back in reception

the location was the best, very convenient, one block away from 42 Central Terminal and 15mins away from Time Square. Many restaurants around, and it was a safe area. the staffs were very friendly and helpful. the room was very tiny, one side of the bed faced the toilet and the other side faced the wall. It was fine with me but maybe not suitable for older people since the person who sleeps inside needs to cross the other person to go washing room. The parking was $45 per day and no in and out. we parked the car and took the subway during our stay.
