The Queen pod was comfortable for the two of us. The bathroom was very small but adequate. Our room was on the second floor along the street, so it was quite noisy.

This is a perfect spot for a solo traveler. It's quaint, incredibly clean and very well kept. Conveniently accessible restaurants, stores and bars all within walking distance. The staff couldn't be friendlier! Worth the money and then some. In your room you get a comfy bed, a TV, a safe for your valuables and a sink. The shower/toilet is on a shared floor but there's 4 per floor. Inside is a very clean bathroom, which is well maintained and even a rainfall shower! This will be my new hotel I'll be staying at every time l'm in NYC.

Spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed. Great shower and toiletries including tissues. Very efficient hairdryer. Excellent housekeeping. Lovely garden and roof terrace. Breakfast available at a reasonable price. Lots of eating places around the area. Staff extremely helpful and knowledgable. They recommended places to visit and routes to take. Everyone was so cheerful and pleasant. Sorted a problem when we first arrived and gave us another room. Perfect location for transport. Offered airport transfers.

Skip unless desperate

I've stayed in pod hotels before but this one has the worst, tiniest bathrooms. They were a joke. 4 bedrooms for the whole floor, without even a shelf inside. There was always water everywhere. No microwave on premises. AC in the room didn't work.

While somewhat Spartan, the guest room was adequate for my needs. I appreciated the upgrade to a private bath. One thing the establishment might supply are washcloths.

Continually Improve

It’s great you get feedback from your guests. Compared to the other Pod on 42nd St., this one feels smaller and older. But it’s a good location on the Eastside. The one issue I noticed was the noise! I was working in my room for 9 hours and noticed how loud it was in the hallway. Installing new doors would improve this. Luckily at night, other guests didn’t make noise. Giving guests a water bottle upon arrival would be very help to prevent dehydration from all the walking guests do in NYC. THANKS.

Evening desk staff remains rude and inattentive, often watching TV or playing with smartphones and seeming annoyed when guests need to check in. Morning staff is wonderful. Room and hallway had strange chemical smell, but were clean.
